CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: Ford Passenger Van Purchase for Community Services Department
MEETING DATE: October 5, 2022
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Kristen Jensen, Financial Analyst
REVIEWED BY: Nick Fidler, Public Works Director
APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Approve the purchase of one 2023 Ford Transit 12 passenger van from National Fleet Auto Group under a cooperative purchasing (piggyback) agreement as permitted under the Menifee Municipal Code Section 3.12.070 (6) with Sourcewell master vehicle contract no. 0915521-NAF; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to issue a change order to an existing Purchase Order (PO) in the amount of $12,666 to cover the full purchase price of the vehicle; and

3. Adopt a budget adjustment resolution authorizing a budget appropriation in the amount of $12,666 to fiscal year 2022/2023 budget from Account No. 524-4550-53155.

DISCUSSION
As part of the fiscal year 2021/2022 budget cycle, the City Council approved a budget in the amount of $44,268 for the purchase of a new 12-passenger van to support the activities of the Community Services Department (CSD). The vehicle currently used by the CSD is over 13 years old and shows heavy wear and tear. The passenger van is used by CSD recreation and special event staff for a variety of programs ranging from senior meal deliveries, youth and senior day trips, and the set-up and clean-up of City special events. By purchasing a new passenger van, the CSD would be able to convert and re-purpose the existing vehicle to a cargo van that could continue to support the transport of special event equipment and supplies.

In July 2021, the City issued a purchase order to National Fleet Auto Group for the purchase of a new 2022 model year Ford 12-passenger transit van. The vehicle’s purchase and delivery timing were subject to the ordering and manufacturing timelines established by Ford at the time of the Item Title: 10.8

order. As result of the pandemic, many vehicles intended to be manufactured in 2022 were delayed due to lack of critical components and limited production quantities, ultimately causing many requests for vehicle orders to be cancelled. Agencies who had ordered vehicles were faced with a decision to forego purchases altogether or accept additional charges/surcharges tied to the cost of production of newer model year vehicles.

The production of the 2022 model year 12-passenger van ordered for CSD was affected by the manufacturing delays described above. In an effort to retain the order placement for the CSD vehicle purchase in the manufacturers order bank, staff requested an updated quote for a 2023 model year vehicle. The attached quote details the current pricing of $56,934 for a 2023 Ford Transit 12-passenger van, resulting in an increase of $12,666 from the original 2022 model year pricing.

At this time, a change order is required to reflect the updated purchase price of the vehicle and conversion of the original unit in the quote from a 2022 model to a 2023. It is important to note that the lingering impacts of the pandemic on the automotive industry, and the additional costs incurred, continue to impact fleet vehicle availability and purchase pricing throughout the country.

Purchasing of the vehicles using the Sourcewell contract no. 0915521-NA, would expedite and result a costs savings by leveraging cooperative purchasing of the community, government agency, educational institute, tribal nation, and nonprofit pricing. Using the Sourcewell contract, the City would also benefit from reduced administrative costs. The purchase is allowed under the Menifee Municipal Code Section 3.12.070 (6).

STRATEGIC PLAN OBJECTIVE
Responsive and Transparent Community Government

FISCAL IMPACT
The additional fiscal impact for this item is $12,666. Original funding for this purchase in the amount of $44,268 would be carried over from fiscal year 2021/2022 under PO No. 03341. A budget appropriation in the amount of $12,666 from available DIF fund 524 balance is requested for approval and is necessary to support the full purchase price of $56,934 for the 2023 vehicle.

The future fiscal impact for the van related to upkeep, fuel, and maintenance would be budgeted in future fiscal years budgets in the Fleet Services account nos. 115-4660-52300, 115-4660- 52503, and 115-4660-52506.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Approve the purchase of ten vehicles from the State of California Contract Vendor Wondries/National Auto Fleet Group and BMW of Riverside in a not-to-exceed amount of $709,703.10, including tax and delivery, from account numbers 115-4911-53155 and 280- 4221-53155; and

2. Allow the purchase to be made under a cooperative purchasing (piggyback) agreement as permitted under the Menifee Municipal Code Section 3.12.070 (6) with Sourcewell Contract No. 120716-NAF; and

3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the required documents and approve any future change orders due to limited availability, or unavailability of vehicles.

DISCUSSION
As the Menifee Police Department (PD) enters its third year of operations and continues to grow, there is a need for new and replacement vehicles with units nearing the end of their useful lifespans. Given current demand and the lead-time required to secure vehicles, PD has begun the process of procuring replacement vehicles to ensure that the City is able to continue to meet the operational demands of the department without service interruptions.

Staff has worked closely with National Auto Fleet Group to select vehicles that would meet the needs of the department while being conscientious of the fiscal impact. Staff has also taken into account the current demand for vehicles across the country that is causing significantly longer than normal delivery times. The proposed vehicle assignments for the department are for the Patrol, Traffic, K9, and Community Service Officers (CSO) divisions as shown in Table 1 on the following page.

As part of the fiscal year 2022/23 budget, the City Council approved the purchase of ten police vehicles. Due to the limited stock of vehicles, these vehicles may no longer be available following City Council approval. Keeping the current market conditions in mind, staff is requesting authorization for the City Manager to approve change orders/order replacements at a cost of up to an additional $64,518.46, or 10% to account for further pricing changes that may occur. The increase would only be used if the current quotes were no longer valid after City Council approval.

Given the shortage of vehicles, the possibility of these vehicles not being available, and fluctuations of specific vehicle unit pricing, staff is requesting the City Manager be authorized to sign replacement quotes for the ten vehicles with equivalent vehicles. The quotes attached to the staff report are provided for reference, but no guarantees can be made that these specific units would be available at the time of approval.

CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: Recycled Water Accelerated Retrofit Program at La Ladera Park Project Bid Rejection
MEETING DATE: October 5, 2022
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Nancy Rodriguez, Management Analyst
REVIEWED BY: Jonathan Nicks, Community Services Director APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Reject all bids submitted for the Recycled Water Accelerated Retrofit Program at La Ladera Park, Capital Improvement Project No. CIP 23-11.

DISCUSSION
On February 2, 2022, the City Council authorized the City’s participation in the Eastern Municipal Water District’s (EMWD) Recycled Water Accelerated Retrofit Program for La Ladera Park. The park is eight acres, making it the largest park the City maintains on potable water. Participation in EMWD’s program would allow the retrofitting of La Ladera Park from potable water to recycled water. Switching the landscape to be irrigated by recycled water would allow for the conservation of drinkable water while creating an overall cost savings due to recycled water being one-third of the cost of potable water.

On August 11, 2022, staff solicited bids for the construction of the Recycled Water Accelerated Retrofit Project through PlanetBids. The work would consist of switching the parks point of connection to its irrigation system to be watered with recycled water, removal of 32,000 square feet of turf from the park to allow for the conversion into a point-to-point irrigation system and replanting of like plant material.

The construction bid was advertised for two weeks with a closing date of August 26, 2022. The City received a total of three bids summarized in Table 1 on the following page.

Table 1 – Bid Results Summary
Bidders Total Bid
Kormex Construction Inc. (Bid withdrawn) $159,960
Marina Landscape Inc. $243,490
Southern California Landscape, Inc. $260,560
The project’s construction cost was originally estimated at $97,000 based on costs from completed projects of a similar scope. Given higher than expected construction costs in the bid responses and using the lowest bid amount, not withdrawn, an additional $146,490 would be required to move forward with the project.

Public Contract Code §20166 allows a legislative body in its discretion to reject any bids and readvertise. In an effort to accommodate the project’s current available funding, it is recommended that the City reject the submitted bids, and re-bid the project.

After further review, staff identified items listed on the bid documents that if adjusted, have the potential to significantly lower the cost of the project. The bid adjustments include clarifying the amount and areas of turf removal and that the service meter and certain equipment would be provided by EMWD and not purchased by the contractor. To mitigate the potential for similar bid results, staff would make modifications to the project plans. By re-bidding the project using the revised plans, staff is hopeful that the City would be able to obtain bids more in line with the approved budget for the project.

Re-bidding the project would not hinder the City’s ability to meet the completion schedule. Upon completion of the re-bidding process, staff would present a recommendation for award. Below is a tentative schedule reflecting the changes to the re-bid date:

Anticipated Construction Start Date: October 10, 2022 Estimated Council Acceptance Date: December 7, 2022 Estimated Construction Completion Date: February 2023*
*Assumes no delays due to weather or unforeseen conditions.

STRATEGIC PLAN OBJECTIVE
Livable and Economically Prosperous Community

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: Agreement with USI Insurance Services, LLC to Provide Employee Benefit Brokerage Services
MEETING DATE: October 5, 2022
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Bryan Melton, Human Resource Analyst
REVIEWED BY: Robert Cardenas, Deputy Human Resources Director APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Broker of Record designation and client services agreement with USI Insurance Services, LLC, in a not-to-exceed amount of $25,000 per year for an initial two years, for the purpose of providing employee benefit brokerage services; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute three additional one-year renewals in a not-to-exceed amount of $25,000 per year.

DISCUSSION
Part of the City’s employee benefits include ancillary benefits, such as dental, life insurance, and vision. The staff and elected officials at the City of Menifee expect competitive rates for employee benefit brokerage services, which have a direct effect on retention, recruitment, and the overall health of our workforce.

On July 14, 2022, the City issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) 2022-19 related to the Employee Benefits Brokerage Consulting Services and went through a thorough review process to ensure that the City and its employees receive fair and valuable ancillary benefits and services. Proposal responses were due on August 8, 2022. A total of nine proposals were received in response to the solicitation. An evaluation committee of key city staff members experienced with the requirements of the RFP, evaluated the submittals based on specific criteria and scoring parameters stated in the solicitation.

A summary of the RFP evaluation is provided in Table 1 on the following page and are sorted by total aggregate score.

Following the completed interviews, the Finance Department compiled all interview scores, resulting in USI Insurance Services, LLC receiving the highest ranking by all four evaluators. Nationally, USI provides brokerage service to over 1,400 public agencies. In California, they work with 125 public agencies including municipalities, water districts, special districts, and higher education.

USI excelled in all scoring criteria in both the initial and final evaluations. Additionally, USI proposed the most competitive commission structure.

These amounts are included in the annual budget process under Personnel Costs/Section 125 Benefits Plan, as a part of the employees’ benefits. Any additional cost to the City would be subject to the meet and confer process with each employee bargaining unit.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Adopt a resolution approving the City of Menifee Local Road Safety Plan and pledging to take action to provide motorized, non-motorized, and pedestrian safety through education, planning, and engineering; and

2. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to submit a letter to CalTrans certifying the completion of the Local Road Safety Plan.

DISCUSSION
A Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) is a specialized study that provides local agencies with an in- depth analysis of their individual and localized highway safety needs. Collectively, each jurisdiction’s LRSP contributes to the statewide Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP); a data driven traffic safety plan purposed to reduce traffic accident fatalities and serious injuries on public roads.

Recently, changes have been implemented that require jurisdictions to establish a LRSP in order to be eligible to receive federal project funding through the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). Over the last several years, the City of Menifee has been successful in securing HSIP grant funding for the following Menifee CIP projects:
•CIP 16-07 & CIP 16-08: Traffic Signal Interconnect (East & West) •CIP 17-05: Citywide ADA Improvements
•CIP 19-03: Antelope Road Safety Median Improvements Project In early 2021, the City applied for LRSP grant funding in the amount of $90,000 administered through CalTrans for the development of the LRSP. In July or 2021, CalTrans awarded, and the City accepted, the funding and a request for proposals was issued for consultant services to assist Item Title: 10.12

Executive Summary
The City of Menifee Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) identifies emphasis areas to inform and guide further safety evaluation of the City’s transportation network. The emphasis areas include type of crash, certain locations, and notable relationships between current efforts and crash history. The LRSP analyzes crash data on an aggregate basis as well as at specific locations to identify high- crash locations, high-risk locations, as well as city-wide trends and patterns. The analysis of crash history throughout the City’s transportation network allows for opportunities to:

1. Identify factors in the transportation network that inhibit safety for all roadway users,

2. Improve safety at specific high-crash locations, and

3. Develop safety measures using the four E’s of safety: Engineering, Enforcement, Education, and Emergency Response to encourage safer driver behavior and better severity outcomes.

With this LRSP, the City continues its safety efforts by identifying areas of emphasis and systemic
recommendations to enhance safety.

The City’s vision is to enhance the transportation network and reduce traffic fatalities and serious injury related crashes, and the goals for t he City of Menifee include the following:

Goal #1: Identify areas with a high risk for crashes.

Goal #2: Illustrate the value of a comprehensive safety program and the systemic process.

Goal #3: Plan future safety improvements for near-, mid- and long-term.

Goal #4: Define safety projects for High Safety
Improvement Program ( HSIP) and other program
funding consideration.

This LRSP analyzes the most recent range of crash data
(January 1, 201 6 – December 31, 20 20) and roadway
improvements to assess historic trends, patterns, and areas of increasing concern.

Further, the collision history was analyzed to identify locations with elevated risk of collisions either through their collision histories or their similarities to other locations with more active collision patterns. Using a network screening process, loc ations were identified within the City that will most likely benefit from safety 1,986 5-year

enhancements. Using historic collision data, collision risk factors for the entire network were derived. The outcomes informed the identification and prioritization of enginee ring and non - infrastructure safety measures to address certain roadway characteristics and related behaviors that contribute to motor vehicle collisions with active transportation users.

Emphasis areas were developed by revisiting the vision and goals deve loped at the onset of the planning process and comparing them with the trends and patterns identified in the crash analysis.

Emphasis Area #1: Impaired Driving
Emphasis Area #2: Distracted Driving
Emphasis Area #3: Young Drivers
Emphasis Area #4: Vulnerable Road Users (Pedestrians & Bicyclists) The following 1 1 case study locations were chosen to be representative of the corridor and intersection configurations throughout the City.

1. Signalized Intersection: Newport Road and Haun Road

2. Signalized Intersection: Newport Road and Bradley Road

3. Unsignalized Intersection: Murrieta Road and Holland Road

4. Signalized Intersection: Haun Road/Zeiders Road and Scott Road

5. Unsignalized Intersection: Manganese Road and Goetz Road

6. Signalized Intersection: Trumble Road and Highway 74

7. Unsignalized Intersection: Sherman Road and Highway 74

8. Unsignalized Intersection: Sherman Road and Jackson Ave

9. Signalized Intersection: Highway 74 and Menifee Road

10. Signalized Intersection: Briggs Road and Highway 74 These locations were identified through the analysis process based on their crash histories, stakeholder engagement, the observed crash patterns, and their different characteristics t o provide the most insight into potential systemic safety countermeasures that the City can employ to achieve the most cost -effective safety benefits. Countermeasures were subjected to a benefit/cost assessment and scored according to their potential return on investment. These case studies can be used to select the most appropriate countermeasure, and to potentially phase improvements over the longer-term. The potential benefit of these countermeasures at locations with similar design characteristics can t hen be extrapolated regardless of crash history, allowing for proactive safety enhancements that can prevent future safety challenges from developing.

Additionally, this information can be used to help the City apply for grants and other funding opportunities to implement these safety improvements. These opportunities were assembled into the “countermeasure toolbox” shown below.

1. Introduction
Located in Southwest Riverside County, the City of Menifee is a family-oriented environment with a population of approximately 103,000. Menifee is a growing community with clean air, attainable housing, and open spaces. Based on University of California Berkeley’s Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) and California Department of Transportation ( Caltrans) Vehicle Operation Cost Parameters, Menifee’s economic losses due to traffic injuries amounted to approximately $350M from 2015 to 2020. This report identifies factors associated with the most vehicle crashes particular to the City and propose s matching countermeasures to reduce or eliminate those crashes.

This Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) identifies emphasis areas to inform and guide further safety evaluation of the City’s transportation network. The emphasis areas include the type of crash, certain locations, and notable relationships between current efforts and crash history. The LRSP analyzes crash data on an aggregate basis as well as at specific locations to identify high-crash locations, high -risk locations, and city -wide trends and patterns. The analysis of crash history throughout the City’s transportation network allows for the following opportunities:

1. Identify factors in the transportation network that inhibit safety for all roadway users,

2. Improve safety at specific high-crash locations, and

3. Develop safety measures using the four E’s of safety (Engineering, Enforcement, Education, and Emergency Response) to encourage safer driver behavior and better severity outcomes.

Menifee has taken steps to enhance all modal safety throughout the City and with this LRSP, Menifee is continuing to prioriti ze safety in its planning processes. The Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) most recently ranked Menifee 64 out of 102 peer cities for traffic injuries after normalizing for population and VMT in 2018. With number one (1) in the OTS crash rankings considered the highest, or “worst,” this positions the City at slightly above average for roadway safety performance. This LRSP analyzes the most recent range of Crossroads crash data from January 1, 2016 – December 31, 2020 and roadway improvements to assess historic trends, patterns, and areas of increasing concern.

The intent of the LRSP is to:
• Create a greater awareness of road safety and risks
• Reduce the number of fatal and severe-injury crashes
• Develop lasting partnerships
• Support for grant/funding applications, and
• Prioritize investments in traffic safety.

2. Vision and Goals
The Menifee LRSP evaluates the transportation network as well as non -infrastructure programs and policies within the City. Mitigation measures are evaluated using criteria to analyze the safety of road users (drivers, bicyclist, and pedestrians), the interaction of modes, the influences on the roadway network from adjacent municipalities, and the potential benefits of safety countermeasures. Through historical data and trends, proactive identification and safety opportunities can be identified and implemented without relying solely on a reaction and response to crashes as they occur.

As cities across the country have implemented LRSPs and systemically addressed the conditions leading to fatal and severe-injury crashes, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has found that LRSPs effectively improve safety. LRSPs provide a locally developed and customized roadmap to d irectly address the most common safety challenges in the given jurisdiction. This project’s vision, goals, and objectives have been established to reflect discussions with Menifee staff, various stakeholders identified by City staff, and a review of existi ng plans/policies in the area.

VISION: To enhance the transportation network for all users to move towards zero traffic fatalities and serious injuries by the year 2050 (Vision Zero).

The City is planning to adopt a Vision Zero goal to eliminate traffic deaths by 2050. The implementation of this goal will be led by City departments. While the identified improvements in this report will be helpful in working toward achieving Vision Zero, improve ments in driver education and a culture shift towards roadway safety will be necessary.

Goal #1: Identify areas with a high risk for crashes.

Objectives:
• Identify intersections and segments that would most benefit from mitigation. • Identify areas of interest with respect to safety concerns for vulnerable users (pedestrians and bicyclists).

Goal #2: Illustrate the value of a comprehensive safety program and the systemic process.

Objectives:
• Demonstrate the systemic process’ ability to identify location s with higher risk for crashes based on present characteristics closely associated with severe crashes. • Demonstrate, through the systemic process, the gaps and data collection activities that can be improved upon.

Goal #3: Plan future safety improvements for near-, mid- and long-term.

Objectives:
• Identify safety countermeasures for specific locations (case studies). • Identify safety countermeasures that can be applied city-wide.

3. Process
The primary goal for the City of Menifee and it’s safety partners is to provide safe, sustainable, and efficient mobility choices for their residents and visitors. Through the development and implementation of this LRSP, t he City will continue its collaboration with its safety partners to identify and discuss safety issues within the community.

Guidance on the LRSP process is provided at both the national (FHWA) and state (Caltrans) level, and both agencies have developed a general framework of data and recommendations for a LRSP.

FHWA encourages the following:
• The establishment of a working group (stakeholders) to participate in developing an LRSP • A review of crash, traffic, and roadway data to identify areas of concern • The identification of goals, priorities, and countermeasures to recommend improvements at spot locations, systemically, and comprehensively
Caltrans guidance follows a similar outline with the following steps:
• Establish leadership
• Analyze the safety data
• Determine emphasis areas
• Identify strategies
• Prioritize and incorporate strategies
• Evaluate and update the LRSP
This LRSP documents the results of data and information obtained, including the preliminary vision and goals for the LRSP, existing safety efforts, initial crash analysis, and developed emphasis areas. The LRSP recommendations consider the f our E's of traffic safety defined by the California Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP): Engineering, Enforcement, Education, and Emergency Response.

3.1 Guiding Manuals
This section describes the analysi s process undertaken to evaluate safety within Menifee at a systemic level. This report identifies specific locations within the City that will benefit from safety enhancements and derives crash risk factors based on historic crash data using a network screening process. The outcome will inform the identification and prioritization of engineering and non-infrastructure safety measures by addressing certain roadway characteristic s and related driving behaviors contributing to crashes. This process uses the latest national and state best practices for statistical roadway analysis described.

3.1.1 Local Roadway Safety Manual
The Local Roadway Safety Manual: A Manual for Californi a’s Local Road Owners (Version 1.5, April 2020) encourage s local agencies to pursue a proactive approach when identifying and analyzing safety issues and preparing to compete for project funding opportunities. A proactive approach is the analyzation of saf ety in an entire roadway network through either a one -time network wide analysis or a routine analysis of the roadway network.1 According to the Local Roadway Safety Manual (LRSM), “ the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) – Division of Loca l Assistance is responsible for administering California’s federal safety funding intended for local safety improvements.” To provide the most beneficial and competitive funding approach , the analysis leading to countermeasure selection should focus on bot h intersections and roadway segments and maintain consideration of roadway characteristics and traffic volumes. The result should reflect a list of locations that are most likely to benefit from cost -effective countermeasures, preferably prioritized by ben efit/cost ratio. The manual suggests using a mixture of quantitative and qualitative measures to identify and rank locations using both crash frequency and crash rates.

These findings should then be screened for crash type and severity patterns to determine the cause of crashes and the potential effective countermeasures. Qualitative analysis should include field visits and a review of existing roadway characteristics and devices. The specific roadway context can then be used to assess conditions that may decrease safety at the site and at systematic levels.

Countermeasure selection should be supported using Crash Modification Factors (CMFs). These factors are a peer reviewed product of research quantifying the expected rate of crash reduction expected from a given countermeasure. If more than one countermeasure is under consideration, the LRSM provides guidance on appropriate application of CMFs.

3.1.2 Highway Safety Manual
The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials ( AASHTO) Highway Safety Manual (HSM), published in 2010, presents a variety of methods for quantitatively estimating crash frequency or severity at a variety of locations. 2 This four-part manual is divided into the following parts: A) Introduction, Human Factors, and Fundamentals, B) Roadway Safety Management Process, C) Predictive Method, D) Crash Modification Factors.

In Chapter 4 of Part B in the HSM, t he “Network Screening Process ” is a tool for an agency to analyze the entire network and identify/rank locations that are most likely or least likely to realize a reduction in the frequency of crashes.

The HSM identifies five steps in this process:3

1. Establish Focus: Identify the purpose or intended outcome of the network screening analysis. This decision will influence data needs, the selection of performance measures and the screening method that can be applied.

2. Identify Network and Establish Reference Populations: Specify the types of sites or facilities being screened (i.e., segments, intersections, geometrics) and identify groupings of similar sites or facilities.

3. Select Performance Measures: There are a variety of performance measures available to evaluate the potential to reduce crash frequency at a site. In this step, the performance measure is selected as a function of the screening focus and the data and analytical tools available.

4. Select Screening Method: There are three principal screening methods described in this chapter (i.e., ranking, sliding window, peak searching). Each method has advantages and disadvantages; the most appropriate method for a given situation should be selected.

5. Screen and Evaluate Results: The final step in the process is to conduct the screening and analysis and evaluate the results.

The HSM provides several stat istical methods for screening roadway networks and identifying high risk locations based on overall crash histories.

3.2 Analysis Techniques

3.2.1 Collision Analysis
The initial steps of a collision analysis involve establishing sub-populations of roadway segments and intersections that have similar characteristics. For this LRSP, intersections were grouped by their control type ( signalized and unsignalized), and segments were grouped by their roadway category (primary arterial, secondary arterial, collector, local). Individual collision rates were then calculated for each sub-population. The population level collision rates were used to assess the number of collisions at a specific location. These sub -populations were also used to determine typical collision patterns to highlight locations where an unusual number of specific collision types occurred.

3.2.2 Network Screening Analysis
The network screening process lists intersections and roadway segments by the number of collisions over the analysis period and identifies areas with a higher number of a given collision type than would be expected for the location.

The different collisions were organized by the following categories:

2. Collision type (broadside, rear-end, sideswipe, head-on, hit object, overturned, bicycle, pedestrian, other),

3. Environmental factors (lighting, wet roads), and

4. Driver behavior (impaired, aggressive, and distracted driving).

3.3 Future Analysis
The City can plan to conduct regular collision monitoring as described in Section 10.2. The City will then refresh the analysis and update the LRSP every 5 years to maintain eligibility for HSIP funding, as described in Section 10.2.

4. Safety Partners
Local stakeholders were included in the development of this report to ensure the local perspective was maintained at the forefront of planning efforts. A stakeholder group of City staff and external partners consisted of representatives from the Menifee Police Department, Menifee Union School District, Riverside Transit Agency, and Los Angeles County Fire Department.

The local stakeholders were called together to offer insight on the safety issues present in the City’s transportation network. After the initial network screening and safety analysis, the stakeholder group met to discuss potential countermeasures and challenge areas through a field visit. The summary of the stakeholder meetings are outlined below.

4.1 Stakeholder Meetin g #1
The first stakeholder meeting was conducte d virtually on April 28, 2022 . At the meeting, stakeholders were introduced to the project and provided an overview of the data used, the required outputs, and the potential outcomes of the study.

In addition to the overview, stakeholders were asked to provide local insight and knowledge at ten “case study” locations that were identified after the initial network screening and crash analysis process.

4.2 Field Tour Stakeholder Workshop
On June 1, 2022, the stakeholder group visited each of the 10 “case study” locations to identify potential issues that are contributing to the collision patterns. Potential countermeasures were identified and discussed.

4.3 Stakeholder Meeting #2
The second stakeholder meeting was conducted virtually on June 23, 2022. During this meeting collision diagrams were presented to the stakeholders which list observations and potential countermeasures. Emphasis/challenge areas were discussed, specifically aggressive driving and impaired driving as a major factor in collisions throughout the City.

4.4 Public Comment
The draft LRSP was made available to the public through the City website4 for commentary. The City reached out to members of the public and selected stakeholders. The public noted the need for traffic signals along arterials, crosswalks, sidewalks and bike lanes around school and residential areas.

Stakeholder feedback was reviewed and incorporated into the study process for the development of the LRSP.

6. Data Summary
This section describes the data sources used for the analysis process of this LRSP.

6.1 Roadway Network
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) California Road System (CRS) GIS database was used to build the base roadway network used for this analysis. Intersections and roadway segments were divided into control and classification categories so that each set could have its own crash rates and be compared with similar facilities or control type. Functional Classifications were imported from the city’s General Plan and confirmed by city staff.

Information on intersection traffic control was provided by the city and included in the analysis network. The collision analysis requires each intersection to be classified by type: Signalized or Unsignalized. Figure 1 illustrates the City of Menifee’s roadway functional classification and intersection control type, respectively, as used for this study.

6.2 Collision Data
Collision data was collected from Crossroads software for the period from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2020, displayed in Figure 2. Five years of data are utilized instead of the standard three years to provide more history to evaluate trends or patterns. Analysis of the raw collision data is the first step in understanding the specific and systemic challenges faced throughout the city. Analyzing the five years of data provided insight on the collision trends and patterns detailed in Section 7. The locations of fatal and severe injury collisions are displayed in Figure 3.

7. Crash Safety Trends
The analysis was conducted using a network screening process for the City-maintained roadway system based on collision records spanning from January 1, 20 16 through December 31, 2020.

This section contains the results of the analysis, which included the evaluation of Menifee’s fatal and serious injury (generally denoted as K+SI) collisions, statewide K+SI collisions, pedestrian collisions, bicycle collisions, collision severity levels, and collision causes.

7.1 All Collisions
This report utilized collision data for a five-year period to provide a better understanding of trends and to reflect the patterns in crashes that have occurred on city streets. Data used for this report was extracted from Crossroads Software on February 25, 2022 and was current as of that date.

Collision data from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2020 as reported to Crossroads from the local enforcement indicated that during this time there were 1,986 collisions recorded within Menifee.

During this time, the most common occurring collision types were Rear -End (33%) and Broadsides (26%). The total number of collisions varied throughout the study period, with a peak in 2017, as shown in Figure 4.

Table 5 and 6 show the number of crashes occurring at the top ten locations in Menifee by crash type for the locations that will be studied further in the Report, and highlights locations in which the probability of those crash types exceeding the threshold proportion is greater than 33%. Appendix A provides a full list of analysis rankings for all intersection and segment locations.

The tables are ordered by the number of collisions that occurred at that segment or intersection.

To be statistically significant, only locations where more than two collisions occurred are represented. At locations with two or less collisions, random chance can account for crash history as much or more than specific roadway characteristics.

After this analysis was completed, the locations were ranked against other similar locations within the City by their categories according to the expected proportion of that crash type within Menifee.

Locations with higher -than-expected crashes of that type were identified by the probability that random chance would not account for exceedances.

Additionally, it should be noted that the columns for Collision Severity, Type, Involved With, and Behavior are additional characteristics of the collisions and should not be counted as a separate collision.

The following provides an example of how to read Tables 5 and 6.

Table Definitions:
• Total Collisions: Number of collisions observed at the intersection or segment from January of 2016 through December of 2020.
• Severity: The number of severe injury and fatal collisions that occurred at this location in the study period.
• Fatality: The number of fatal collisions that occurred at this location in the study period. • Broadside, Sideswipe, Rear-End, Head-On, Hit Object, Overturned, Other, Pedestrian, Bicycle: The number of these types of collisions that occurred at this location in the study period.
• Other: The number of miscellaneous collision types (mostly single vehicle) that occurred at this location in the study period.

8.2 Emphasis Areas
Emphasis areas represent crash factors that are common in the City and provide the opportunity to reduce the largest number of traffic injuries with strategic investment. Emphasis areas were developed by revisiting the vision and goals of this planning process and comparing them with the trends and patterns identified in the crash analysis.

8.2.1 Emphasis Area #1: Impaired Driving
Description: Impaired driving crashes are a high priority challenge area within the Caltrans SHSP. Caltrans defines these as crashes where any evidence of drug or alcohol use by the driver is present, even if the driver was not over the legal limit. 281 crashes (14.1%) were reported as the driver being under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Eight of these crashes resulted in a fatality and 24 in a severe injury. Almost 2/3 of these crashes (162) resulted in Property Damage Only.

Goal for Emphasis Area #1:
• Reduce the number of crashes attributed to impaired driving • Identify hot spots and priority corridors for countermeasures to reduce impaired driving • Apply for funding to implement countermeasures to reduce impaired driving crashes Strategies for Emphasis Area #1:
• Authorize, publicize, and conduct sobriety checkpoints programs • Implement an impaired driving education campaign
• Develop educational programs targeting specific audiences based on age group • Additional enforcement presence
• Create effective media campaigns in both visual and print media These strategies will be implemented by the City, law enforcement, and community organizations. Funding sources for these strategies may include OTS, NHTSA, and SB1 grant programs.

8.2.2 Emphasis Area #2: Distracted Driving
Description: Distracted driving collisions, as defined by the SHSP, includes instances where the driver of a vehicle was not paying attention or using an electronic device. Distracted drivers were involved with 4.9% of the fatal & severe injury collisions, compared to 4.7% of collisions statewide (based on 2016-2018 SHSP data). During the LRSP study period, 7.3% (145) of the collisions involved distracted driving. One resulted in a fatality and 4 resulted in severe injuries.

The most common type of collisions involving distracted driving was rear-end, followed by broadsides.

Goal for Emphasis Area #6:
• Reduce the number of distracted driving collisions
• Identify hot spots for distracted driving collisions
• Apply for funding and implement countermeasures involved distracted driving

37 August 2022
Strategies for Emphasis Area #6:
• Address distracted driving collisions by implementing proven countermeasures o Install flashing beacons on curve chevron signage
o Evaluate and improve lane striping through intersections

• Implement educational program to address causes of distracted driving • Increase enforcement of distracted driving in the City

These strategies can be implemented by the City with assistance from emergency services and community organizations. Funding sources for these strategies may include Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), OTS, and SB1 grant programs.

8.2.3 Emphasis Area #3: Young Drivers
Description: Young drivers, as defined by the Caltrans SHSP, are drivers between 15 and 20 years of age. Young drivers were involved in 221 crashes, about 11% of total crashes. Six resulted in severe injury. 4% of these crashes resulted in property damage only.

Goal for Emphasis Area #3:
• Reduce the number and severity of young driver collisions • Identify hot spots and priority corridors for young driver collisions • Apply for funding and implement countermeasures to address young drivers

Strategies for Emphasis Area #3:

Strategies to address young driver behaviors will mainly focus on education, encouragement, and enforcement. Strategies that have had success nationally include driver’s education courses, implementing technology in young drivers’ vehicles, and education campaigns to target young drivers with messages regarding road safety, common mistakes, and challenges that young drivers face. Strategies may also include increased enforcement near hotspots of young driver collisions and increased coordination with community organizations.

These strategies will be implemented by the City, law enforcement, and local community organizations. Funding sources for these strategies may include NHTSA, OTS, and SB1 grant programs.

8.2. 4 Emphasis Area # 4: Vulnerable Road Users (Pedestrians & Bicyclists) Description: Pedestrians and bicyclists are classified by Caltrans as vulnerable users, meaning they possess the highest potential for severe harm during a crash. These groups need appropriate infrastructure to travel to ke y destinations such as schools, workplaces, and core commercial areas. The City’s Circulation element lays out plans and standards for non -motorized transportation. Of the 1,968 crashes involving vulnerable road users, 7 resulted in a fatal injury and 9 resulted in a severe injury. The City should aim to implement countermeasur es to further protect these users from injury.

Goals for Emphasis Area #4:
• Improve active transportation infrastructure by adding pedestrian facilities, bike lanes, and other amenitie s to make it safer for employees and community members to get to key destinations such as school, commercial centers, transit centers, and recreation areas • Encourage healthier lifestyles through active transportation infrastructure • Apply for HSIP and other funding to implement countermeasures to address vulnerable road user crashes
Strategies for Emphasis Area #4:
• Provide outreach, education, and enforcement to encourage more separation between vehicular and pedestrian traffic
• Install high-visibility crosswalk markings at the intersection of key destinations • Ensure all signalized intersections have completed crosswalks • Provide dedicated pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure to and from bus stops • Install adequate street lighting
• Widen street shoulders
• Provide signage (e.g., pedestrian crossing ahead) to help drivers expect to slow down for pedestrians and bikes
• Install bicycle lanes along key corridors
• Install bicycle storage facilities in public areas, such as parks and schools, to enco urage bicycle use
• Implement recommendations from Safe Routes to School plan and consider opportunities for more systemic implementation where appropriate.
• Install curb extensions
• Install ADA ramps
• Modify signal phasing to implement a Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI) with new controller • Install/upgrade pedestrian crossing at uncontrolled locations • Establish rotating enforcement targets for high visibility campaigns • Incorporate GIS bicycle facilities into interactive map on City website • Update City traffic analysis guidelines to require bicycle and pedestrian counts Item Title: 10.12

9. Countermeasure Toolbox
This section provides information on general identified issues, crash reduction factors, improvements, and countermeasures identified for the City of Menifee, as well as for specific project locations identified as part of this analysis. Countermeasures for each of the Safety Project Case Studies are based on data analysis, stakeholder input, and site visits.

9.1 Infrastructure Improvements

9.1.1 Countermeasure Selection Process
Part D of the HSM provides information on Crash Modification Factors ( CMFs) for roadway segments, intersections, interchanges, special facilities, and road networks. CMFs are used to estimate the safety effects of highway improvements, specifically to compare and select highway safety improvements. A CMF less than 1.0 indicates that a treatment has the potential to reduce crashes. A CMF greater than 1.0 indicates that a treatment has the potential to increase crashes.

A Crash Reduction Factor (CRF) is directly connected to the CMF and is “mathematically defined as (1 – CMF) (the higher the CRF, the greater the expected reduction in crashes) 5.” CMFs can help decision makers weigh potential alternative projects, but are only one measure of a project's value and should be considered part of a larger decision making process. Furtherm ore, it is important to note that not all CMFs are as reliable as others. The FHWA maintains a federal depository of CMFs and includes a star rating system to help users determine which CMFs are bolstered by the best and most thorough research. Key factors to consider when applying CMFs include:

1. Selection of an appropriate CMF;

2. Estimation of crashes without treatment;

3. Application of CMFs by type and severity; and,

4. Estimation of the combined effect for multiple treatments.

Examples of Safety Countermeasures can be found through several sources. This Report utilizes the countermeasures found in the California Local Roadway Safety Manual (LRSM) and the CMF Clearinghouse (CMF CH) website. Countermeasures for each of the Safety Project Case Studies are based on the data analysis and site visits. Additional countermeasures were identified for the high-level issues on a city -wide level and are discussed in Section 9.2 City-Wide Countermeasure Toolbox.

9.1.2 Safety Project Case Studies
From the city -wide analysis, eleven (11) project case study locations were selected for further evaluation and countermeasure development. For each of these locations, Safety Project Case Studies were developed to provide a balanced understanding of common safety patterns at a variety of location types that can be used to associate countermeasures with specific roadway configurations and conditions. These locations were identified through the analysis process based on their crash histories, stakeholder engagement, the observed crash patterns, and their different characteristics to provide the most insight into potential systemic safety countermeasures that the City can employ to achieve the most cost-effective safety benefits.

A Safety Project Case Study was developed for each of the following locations:

1. Signalized Intersection: Newport Road and Haun Road

2. Signalized Intersection: Newport Road and Bradley Road

3. Unsignalized Intersection: Murrieta Road and Holland Road

4. Signalized Intersection: Haun Road/Zeiders Road and Scott Road

5. Unsignalized Intersection: Manganese Road and Goetz Road

6. Signalized Intersection: Trumble Road and Highway 74

7. Unsignalized Intersection: Sherman Road and Highway 74

8. Unsignalized Intersection: Sherman Road and Jackson Ave

9. Signalized Intersection: Highway 74 and Menifee Road

10. Signalized Intersection: Encanto Dr and McCall Road

11. Signalized Intersection: Briggs Road and Highway 74 The following pages summarize conditions at each location, and potentially beneficial countermeasures. Countermeasures were subjected to a benefit/cost assessment and scored according to their potential return on investment. These case studies can be used to select the most appropriate countermeasure, and to potentially phase improvements over the longer -term.

The potential benefit of these countermeasures at locations with similar design characteristics can then be extrapolated regardless of crash history, allowing for proactive safety enhancements that can prevent future safety challenges from developing. These case study sheets can also be used to position the City for future grant funding opportunities. The monetary benefits are calculated from the lates t Caltrans injury level cost data . Fatal and severe injury collisions are estimated at $2.19 million, Other Visible Injury collisions at $142,300, Complaint of Pain collision at $80,900, and Property Damage Only collisions at $13,300.

9.2 City -wide Countermeasure Toolbox
This evaluation considered citywide trends to identify countermeasures that would likely provide the most benefit with widespread implementation. Table 8 outlines the citywide safety project opportunities, which is also referred to as the “Countermeasure Toolbox”. Within the toolbox, the description of the countermeasure along with its Local Roadway Safety Manual (LRSM) ID number is listed. The next column, Crash Reduction Factor (CRF), are “multiplicative factors used to estimate the expected reduction in number of crashes after implementing a given countermeasure at a specific site (the higher the CRF, the greater the expected reduction in crashes).” Fo r each of these countermeasures, a planning level benefit/cost analysis was completed.

Applying the benefit/cost at the citywide level was estimated assuming some randomness in crash distribution. The location characteristics, such as whether there is a traffic signal, and the type of crashes, were used at the citywide level to calculate an average cost of crashes that the countermeasure might reduce. The benefit per location was then factored out to a 20 -year lifecycle savings, with an Opinion of Project Probable Cost (OPCC) for the initial installation costs and a per-year maintenance cost estimate. The cost shown in Table 8 should be considered initial planning costs using 2022 dollars and not assumed final.

68 10. Funding Sources & Next Steps

10.1 Funding
Competitive funding resources are available to assist in the development and implementation of safety projects in Menifee. The City should continue to seek available funding and grant opportunities from local, state, and federal resources to accelerate their ability to implement safety improvements throughout Menifee. This section provides a high-level introduction to some of the main funding programs and grants for which the City can apply.

10.1.1 Highway Safety Improvement Program
The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) is a Federal program that apportions funding as a lump sum for each state, which is then divided among apportioned programs. These flexible funds can be used for projects to preserve or improve safety conditions and performance on any Federal-aid highway, bridge projects on any public road, facilities for non -motorized transportation, and other project types. Saf ety improvement projects eligible for this funding include:
• New or upgraded traffic signals
• Upgraded guard rails
• Pedestrian warning flashing beacons
• Marked crosswalks
• Other projects listed in the Caltrans Local Road Safety Manual California’s local HSIP focuses on infrastructure projects with national recognized crash reduction factors. Normally HSIP call-for-projects is made at an interval of one to two years. The applicant must be a city, a county, or a tribal government federally recognized within the State of California.

Additional information regarding this program at the Federal level can be found online at:
https://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/hsip/. California specific HSIP information – including dates f or upcoming call for projects - can be found at: http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/LocalPrograms/hsip.html.

HSIP Cycle 11 applications are due in September 2022.

10.1.2 Caltrans Active Transportatio n Program
Caltrans Active Transportation Program (ATP) is a statewide funding program, created in 2013, consolidating several federal and state programs. The ATP funds projects that encourage increased mode share for walking and bicycling, improve mobilit y and safety for non -motorized users, enhance public health, and decrease greenhouse gas emissions. Projects eligible for this funding include:
• Bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure projects
• Bicycle and pedestrian planning projects (e.g., safe routes to school) • Non-infrastructure programs (education and enforcement) Item Title: 10.12

69 This program funding is provided annually. The ATP call for projects typically comes out in the spring. Information on this program and cycles can be found online at:
http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/LocalPrograms/atp/.

10.1.3 California SB 1
The California SB 1 is a landmark transportation investment to rebuild California by fixing neighborhood streets, freeways, and bridges in communities across California and targeting funds toward transit and congested trade and commute corridor improvements.

California’s state -maintained transportation infrastructure will receive roughly half of SB 1 revenue: $26 billion. The other half will go to local roads, transit agencies and an expansion of the state’s growing network of pedestrian and cycle routes. Each year, this new funding will be used to tackle deferred maintenance needs both on the state highway system and the local road system, including:
• Local Street and Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation: $1.5 billion o This funding is dedicated to improve local road maintenance, rehabilitation, and/or safety through projects such as restriping and repaving. • Bike and Pedestrian Projects: $100 million
o This will go to cities, counties, and regional transportation agencies to build or convert more bike paths, crosswalks, and sidewalks. It is a significant increase in funding for these projects through the ATP.
• Local Planning Grants: $25 million

10.1.4 California Office of Traffic Safety Grants
This program has funding for projects related to traffic safety, including transportation safety education and encouragement activities. Grants applications must be supported by local crash data (such as the data analyzed in this report) and must relate to the following priority program areas:
o Alcohol Impaired Driving
o Distracted Driving
o Drug-Impaired Emergency Medical Services
o Motorcycle Safety
o Occupant Protection
o Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety
o Police Traffic Services
o Public Relations, Advertising, and Marketing Program
o Roadway Safety and Traffic Records

70 10.1.5 SCAG Sustainable Communities Program
This program is an innovative vehicle for promoting local jurisdictional efforts to test local planning tools. The Sustainable Communities Program ( SCP) provides direct technical assistance to SCAG member jurisdictions to complete planning and policy effor ts to implement the regional Sustainable Communities Strategies (SCS). Grants are available in the following three categories:
• Integrated Land Use
o Sustainable Land Use Planning
o Transit Oriented Development (TOD)
o Land Use & Transportation Integration
• Active Transportation
o Bicycle Planning
o Pedestrian Planning
o Safe Routes to School Plans
• Green Region
o Natural Resource Plans
o Climate Action Plans (CAPs)
o Green House Gas (GHG) Reduction programs

10.1.6 Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Grant Program This program has allocated $1B annually for the next 4 years for local cities, counties, MPOs, and other roadway owners (excepting state DOTs) for safety improvement grants for safety planning, education, enforcement, and roadway improvements. This program is no t benefit / cost based.

Evaluation criteria are oriented to the project’s alignment with the Safe Systems approach. There is a 20% local match requirement (can be in -kind contribution via staff billable hours). Planning grants are open to any eligible agen cy and Implementation grants are open to agencies with a completed safety plan such as a Local Roadway Safety Plan. Planning grants are expected to range from $100K to $1M and Implementation grants are expected to range from $1M to $20M.

Grant applications are due in September 2022. Implementing a Local Road Safety Plan and the City’s adoption of a Vision Zero resolution makes the City eligible to apply for SS4A implementation grants.

10.1. 7 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
In November 2021, the President signed into law the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. In addition to the SS4A grant program described above, this law provides billions of dollars in additional funding for improvements and investment in the transportation sector nationwide. The law provides $30 billion in funding over 5 years for competitive RAISE grants for transportation projects, as well as additional funding for repair and environmental mitigation projects. As these grant programs continue to be developed, City can position itself by identifying potential projects and programs to pursue.

71 10.2 Next Steps
Once the Local Roadway Safety Plan has been completed, the City can plan to regularly review and monitor collision data for trends and changes, as well as update the LRSP every 5 years.

10.2.1 Monitoring
The City can plan to regularly monitor the success of the LRSP and its related implementations by performing the following steps. This before and after analysis can be performed at a yearly interval.
• Pull yearly collision data from Crossroads database to determine year-over-year trend • Utilize Crossroads or GIS software to review the number of collisions occurring at specific locations. Locations where improvements have been made should receive priority for monitoring.
• Based upon changes in collision activity, determine efficacy of improvements and adjust strategies going forward

10.2. 2 Analysis Update
To maintain eligibility for HSIP grant funding, the City will need to update the LRSP every 5 years.

The City can plan to update the analysis by performing the following steps:

1. Obtain updated SWITRS collision data from the Crossroads database

2. Use Excel software to update the collision trend analysis completed in Section 7 of this report

3. Update the roadway shapefile with any new or upgraded roadways

4. Update the intersection shapefile with any new or upgraded intersections

5. Re-run the GIS collision tool to determine the num ber of collisions at intersections and roadways within the updated study period. The City can plan to run the collision tool for all collisions, as well as the collision types identified in Section 3.2.2 of this report.

6. Update collision analysis tables shown in Section 7.7 of this report Item Title: 10.12

CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: 2022 Comprehensive Cost of Services/User Fee Study MEETING DATE: October 5, 2022
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Jizelle Sandoval, Financial Analyst
REVIEWED BY: Margarita Cornejo, Deputy Finance Director APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Adopt a resolution approving the Comprehensive Cost of Services/User Fee Study and Cost of Services (User Fee) update and authorizing an effective date of January 1, 2023; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to implement an annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustment (increase or decrease) not to exceed 4% and effective July 1 each fiscal year, based on December to December of the previous year, with the first adjustment effective July 1, 2024.

DISCUSSION
A User Fee Study is conducted to accurately, fairly, and reasonably determine the full cost of providing services to the individuals, residents and businesses within the community, such as plan check, inspection, permitting and other city-provided services. The amount of revenue generated (fee amount) may not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the services, and with the goal of making the City “whole” as to costs.

The staff recommended fees are based on current fees, industry norms, economic development strategy, and parity with surrounding cities. The majority of the proposed fees assume full cost recovery, though in some cases staff is recommending less than full cost recovery as indicated later in this staff report and in Exhibit B. The staff recommended User Fees are identified in the blue column of Exhibit B. The current fees are listed in Column A, the total City costs to provide the service are in column B and staff recommended fees are in Column C of Exhibit B.

Background
Upon incorporation, the City of Menifee adopted the County of Riverside’s user fee schedule and portions have been updated over time as follows:

2022 User Fee Update

5 5
•2014 – addition of Community Services user fees
•2017 – update to Planning, Engineering, Building & Safety, and Fire fees •2020 – addition of Menifee Police Department fees
Based on these updates, the City engaged the Matrix Consulting Group to prepare a comprehensive study analyzing the cost-of-service relationships that exist between fees for service activities in the following areas: City Clerk, Finance, Community Services, Code Enforcement, Police, Fire, Building, Planning and Engineering. The results of the study provide a tool for understanding current service level, the cost and demand for those services, and what fees for service can and should be charged.

The attached Menifee User Fee Study Report was presented to the Finance Committee on June 21, 2022. After the Finance Committee meeting, staff shared the study with the Building Industry Association (BIA), and presented to the Developer Stakeholder Group. The Finance Committee recommended that the City Council hold a workshop on the User Fee Study, which occurred on August 17, 2022. At the workshop, the City Council recommended submittal for a public hearing and resolution approving the User Fee Study at a City Council meeting.

Analysis
The methodology employed by the Matrix Consulting Group is a widely accepted “bottom up” approach to cost analysis, where time spent per unit of fee activity is determined for each position within a department or program. Once time spent for a fee activity is determined, all applicable City costs are then considered in the calculation of the “full” cost of providing each service. The overview of types of costs applied in establishing the “full” cost of services provided by the City include both direct and indirect costs.
•Direct Costs Include: Fiscal year 2022 budgeted salaries, benefits, and allowable expenditures.
•Indirect Costs Include: Division, departmental, and citywide administration/management, and clerical support.
•Total Cost is equal to the fees at 100% recovery rate.

The work accomplished by the Matrix Consulting Group in the analysis of the proposed fees for service involved the following steps:
•Departmental Staff Interviews
•Data Collection
•Cost Analysis
•Review and Approval of Results with City Staff

Summary for Results
A comparison of the fiscal year 2021/22 fee-related budgeted expenditures with fee-related revenue generated in fiscal year 2020/21 shows that the City is under-recovering its costs by approximately $3.3 million or a recovery rate of 73%. The following table shows by major service area / discipline, the revenue collected, the total annual cost, the resulting annual surplus / deficit, and the resulting cost recovery.

As shown in Table 1, the City’s largest source of General Fund subsidy is related to Community Services at $2.4 million, which is common due to the general community benefit that it provides.

The next largest General Fund subsidy at approximately $816 thousand is in relation to development-related activities. If Community Services is excluded, then the overall General Fund subsidy for the City decreases from $3.3 million to approximately $933 thousand (admin/miscellaneous and development related service areas) with a cost recovery level of 90%.

The subsidy in development is related to current planning applications, which require extensive city staff time and effort. The other component of the deficit is in relation to internal cross- departmental support for Building, Planning, and Engineering. Implementing the full cost recovery fees and updated departmental support fees for Planning and Engineering in relation to Building fees will help the City to bridge this deficit.

The detailed documentation of the Study shows an over-collection for some fees (on a per unit basis), and an undercharge for most others. The results of this analysis provides the City with guidance on how to right-size their fees to ensure that each service unit is set at an amount that does not exceed the full cost of providing that service.

Development Services Surcharges
There are two typical surcharges proposed as part of the development review process – General Plan Maintenance and Technology fees. The City of Menifee currently charges a General Plan Maintenance fee as part of the building permit phase but does not assess a separate Technology fee. The following subsections discuss the calculation of the General Plan Maintenance fee and a separate Technology fee.

General Maintenance Fee
The City of Menifee currently assesses a General Plan Maintenance fee as part of its building permit process. The fee is meant to account for updates to the general plan, zoning ordinance, housing elements, and other long-range planning activities that are part of the larger General Plan. This is a fairly typical fee charged by many jurisdictions. The City of Menifee currently charges this fee as a percentage of the building permit fee, at the time of building permit submittal.

The concept behind charging this fee during the building permit phase is that any development project, which gets to that phase, makes enough of an impact to require the need for an update to the Zoning Code or the General Plan.

The project team worked with staff in the Planning Division to estimate the annual percentage of time spent by staff as it relates to long-range planning. In addition to internal staff cost there are contracted costs associated with updates to the General Plan and Zoning Code. The City’s current fee is 5% of the building permit and the study calculates the fee at 9%. Therefore, staff is recommending full cost recovery at 9% of the building permit.

Technology Surcharge Fee
The City does not currently collect a separate Technology fee. The Technology fee allows the City to support the costs associated with the City’s permitting system, staff time for managing the systems, acquiring the system, mobile devices used for permitting, etc. It is important to note that this cost has traditionally been incorporated as an overhead line item into the development department application fees. For greater transparency, as well as the ability to ensure dedicated use of funding, these costs are being extracted from the indirect costs and being evaluated as a separate surcharge. The study calculates the fee at 5.7% of the permit fee and staff is recommending 5% of the fee.

Staff Recommended Fees
The staff recommended fees were based on current fees, industry norms, economic development strategy, and parity with surrounding cities. The majority of the proposed fees assume full cost recovery, which would result in additional revenue and also limit the amount of General Funds used to subsidize user fees. Also, far more equity between taxpayers and fee-payers, as well as fairness between property-related and non-property related services could be secured, assisting in the City’s continued financial stability into the future. The staff recommended User Fees are identified in blue within Exhibit B, Column C. The current fees are listed in Column A and the total City costs to provide the service are in column B, of Exhibit B.

Development Related Fees
Most of the development related fees (planning, building, fire, and engineering) have proposed a cost recovery rate based the current fee. Based on staff analysis, if the fee is new or if the current recovery rate is over 80% then staff is recommending 100% cost recovery rate. If the current cost recovery rate is between 50-79% then staff is recommending 85% cost recovery rate. If the current cost recovery rate is less than 50% then staff is recommending 70% cost recovery rate.

Community Services Related Fees
The Community Services related fees have a proposed market rate based on feedback from the City Council workshop. The proposed rates market rate was shared with the local Homeowner’s Associations (HOA’s). The non-residential facility rentals would be assessed at 100% market rate.

The residential and residential non-profit would be set at 50% of the market rate. City sponsored would not be charged a fee for facility rentals.

As 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 fees include an inflationary factor to annually increase or decrease the fees. The most commonly used inflator is the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as it is widely well known and accepted.

Responsive and Transparent Community Government

FISCAL IMPACT
The majority of the proposed fees assume full cost recovery, which would result in additional revenue and also limit the amount of General Funds used to subsidize user fees. Also, far more equity between taxpayers and fee-payers, as well as fairness between property-related and non- property related services could be secured, assisting in the City’s continued financial stability into the future.

The proposed fees would also adopt Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers – Riverside- San Bernardino-Ontario, CA (CPI) not to exceed 4%, as of December of the preceding year and made effective for July 1 each fiscal year allowing for automatic annual adjustments, including increases and decreases, beginning July 1, 2024.

Cost of Services (User Fee) Study MENIFEE, CA

Matrix Consulting Group 1

1. Introduction and Executive Summary

The report, which follows, presents the results of the Citywide Cost of Services (User Fee) Study conducted by the Matrix Consulting Group for the City of Menifee. 1 Project Background and Overview

The Matrix Consulting Group analyzed the cost-of-service relationships that exist between fees for service activities in the following areas: City Clerk, Finance, Community Services, Code Enforcement, Police, Fire, Building, Planning, and Engineering. The results of this Study provide a tool for understanding current service levels, the cost and demand for those services, and what fees for service can and should be charged. 2 General Project Approach and Methodology

The methodology employed by the Matrix Consulting Group is a widely accepted “bottom up” approach to cost analysis, where time spent per unit of fee activity is determined for each position within a Department or Program. Once time spent for a fee activity is determined, all applicable City costs are then considered in the calculation of the “full” cost of providing each service. The following table provides an overview of types of costs applied in establishing the “full” cost of services provided by the City:

Table 1: Overview of Cost Components

Cost Component Description

Direct

Fiscal Year 2022 Budgeted salaries, benefits and allowable expenditures.

Indirect

Together, the cost components in the table above comprise the calculation of the total “full” cost of providing any particular service, regardless of whether a fee for that service is charged.

The work accomplished by the Matrix Consulting Group in the analysis of the proposed fees for service involved the following steps:
• Departmental Staff Interviews: The project team interviewed Departmental staff regarding their needs for clarification to the structure of existing fee items, or for addition of new fee items.

• Data Collection: Data was collected for each permit / service, including time estimates. In addition, all budgeted costs and staffing levels for Fiscal Year 20 22 were entered into the Matrix Consulting Group’s analytical software model.

• Cost Analysis: The full cost of providing each service included in the analysis was established.

• Review and Approval of Results with City Staff: Department management has reviewed and approved these documented results.

A more detailed description of user fee methodology, as well as legal and policy considerations are provided in subsequent chapters of this report. 3 Summary of Results

When comparing Fiscal Year 20 22 fee-related budgeted expenditures with fee -related revenue generated in Fiscal Year 20/21 the City is under-recovering its costs by approximately $3.3 million and recovering 73% of its costs. The following table shows by major service area / discipline, the revenue collected, the total annual cost, the resulting annual surplus / (deficit) and the resulting cost recovery.

Development-Related $8,498,703 $9,314,229 ($815,526) 91% TOTAL $8,850,138 $12,196,470 ($3,346,332) 73%

As the table indicates, the City’s largest source of subsidy is related to Community Services at $2.4 million, which is expected due to the nature of these activities. The next largest subsidy at $816,000 is in relation to development-related activities. If Community Services is excluded, then the overall subsidy for the City decreases from $ 3.3 million to $933,000 with a cost recovery level of 90%.

The subsidy in development is related to fire prevention and current planning applications, which require ex tensive city staff time and effort. The other component of the deficit is in relation to internal cross-departmental support for Building, Planning, and Engineering. Implementing the full cost fees, and updated departmental support fees for Planning and Engineering for Building fees will help ensure that the City can help bridge this deficit.

The detailed documentation of the Study will show an over-collection for some fees (on a per unit basis), and an undercharge for most others. The results of this anal ysis will Item Title: 11.1

provide the Department and the City with guidance on how to right -size their fees to ensure that each service unit is set at an amount that does not exceed the full cost of providing that service.

The display of the cost recovery figures shown in this report are meant to provide a basis for policy development discussions among Council members and City staff, and do not represent a recommendation for where or how the Council should act. The setting of the “rate” or “price” for services, whether at 100 percent full cost recovery or lower, is a policy decision to be made only by the Council, with input from City staff and the community. 4 Considerations for Cost Recovery Policy and Updates

The Matrix Consulting Group recommends that the City use the information contained in this report to discuss, adopt, and implement a formal Cost Recovery Policy, including a mechanism for the annual update of fees for service.
500 Adopt a Formal Cost Recovery Policy
The Matrix Consulting Group strongly recommen ds that the Council adopt a formalized, individual cost recovery policy for each service area included in this Study. Whenever a cost recovery policy is established at less than 100% of the full cost of providing services, a known gap in funding is recognized and may then potentially be recovered through other revenue sources. The Matrix Consulting Group considers a formalized cost recovery policy for various fees for service an industry Best Management Practice. 2 Adopt an Annual Fee Update / Increase Mechanism
The purpose of a comprehensive update is to completely revisit the analytical structure, service level estimates and assumptions, and to account for any major shifts in cost components or organizational structures that have occurred since the City’s previous analysis. The City of Menifee last conducted a Planning, Engineering, and Fire fee study in 2019 and prior to that a comprehensive fee study in 2014. Therefore, the City is in the practice of conducting comprehensive analyses every 5-7 years. The City should continue this practice to capture any changes to its organizational structure, processes, as well as any new service areas.

In between comprehensive updates, the City should continue to utilize published industry economic factors such as Consu mer Price Index (CPI) to increase fees. Utilizing an annual increase mechanism would ensure that the City receives appropriate fee increases that reflect growth in costs.

2. Legal Framework and Policy Considerations

This section of the report is intended to provide an overview regarding overall legal rules and regulations as well as general policy considerations for fees for service. A “user fee” is a charge for service provided by a governmental agency to a public citizen or group. In California, several constitutional laws such as Propositions 13, 4, and 218, State Government Codes 66014 and 66016, and more recently Prop 26 and the Attorney General’s Opinion 92 -506 set the parameters under which the user fees typical ly administered by local government are established and administered. Specifically, California State Law, Government Code 66014(a), stipulates that user fees charged by local agencies “…may not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee is charged”.
1 General Principles and Philosophies Regarding User Fees Local governments are providers of many types of general services to their communities.

While all services provided by local government are beneficial to constituents , some services can be classified as globally beneficial to all citizens, while others provide more of a direct benefit to a specific group or individual. The following table provides examples of services provided by local government within a continuum of the degree of community benefit received:

Table 3: Services in Relation to Benefit Received

“Global” Community Benefit “Global” Benefit and an
Individual or Group Benefit Individual or Group Benefit

• Police
• Park Maintenance
• Fire Suppression

• Recreation / Community
Services
• Fire Prevention

• Building Permits
• Planning and Zoning Approval
• Site Plan Review
• Engineering Development
Review
• Facility Rentals

Funding for local government is obtained from a myriad of revenue sources such as taxes, fines, grants, special charges, user fees, etc. In recent years, alternative tax revenues, which typically offset subsidies for services provided to the community, hav e become increasingly limited. These limitations have caused increased attention on user fee activities as a revenue source that can offset costs otherwise subsidized (usually) by the general fund. In Table 3, services in the “global benefit” section tend to be funded primarily through voter approved tax revenues. In the middle of the table, one typically finds a mixture of taxes, user fee, and other funding sources. Finally, in the “individual / Item Title: 11.1

Matrix Consulting Group 5

group benefit” section of the table, lie the services provided by local government that are typically funded almost entirely by user fee revenue.

The following are two central concepts regarding the establishment of user fees:
• Fees should be assessed according to the degree of individual or private benefit gained from services. For example, the processing and approval of a land use or building permit will generally result in monetary gain to the applicant, whereas Police services and Fire Suppression are examples of services that are essential to the safety of the community at large.

• A profit-making objective should not be included in the assessment of user fees.

In fact, California laws require that the charges for service be in direct proportion to the costs associated with providing those services. Once a charge for service is assessed at a level higher than the actual cost of providing a service, the term “user fee” may no longer apply. The charge may become a tax subject to voter approval.

Therefore, it is commonly accepted that user fees are established at a level that will recover up to, and not more than, the cost of providing a particular service. 2 General Policy Considerations Regarding User Fees

Undoubtedly, there are programs, circumstances, and services that justify a subsidy from a tax based or alternative revenue source. However, jurisdictions typically prioritize the use of revenue sources for the provision of services based on the continuum of benefit received.

Within the services that are typically funded by user fees, the Matrix Consulting Group recognizes several reasons why City staff or the Council may not advocate the full cost recovery of services. The following factors are key policy considerations in setting fees at less than 100 percent of cost recovery:
• Limitations posed by an external agency. The State or an outside agency will occasionally set a maximum, minimum, or limit the jurisdiction’s ability to charge a fee at all. An example includes time spent copying and retrieving public documents and / or transportation permits.

• Encouragement of desired behaviors. Keeping fees for certain services below full cost recovery may provide better compliance from the community. For example, if the cost of a permit for charging a water heater in residential home is higher than the cost of the water heater itself, many citizens will avoid pulling the permit.

Matrix Consulting Group 6

• Benefit received by user of the service and the community at large is mutual.

Many services that directly benefit a group or individual equally benefit t he community as a whole. Examples include Planning Design Review, historical dedications and certain types of special events.

The Matrix Consulting Group recognizes the need for policies that intentionally subsidize certain activities. The primary goals of a User Fee Study are to provide a fair and equitable basis for determining the costs of providing services and ensure that the City complies with State law.
3 Parks and Recreation Specific Regulations
There are specific rules and regulations within the State Law that impact Parks and Recreation related activities directly. These can be separated into two categories – rental rates and recreation programs. The following points provide further information regarding these items:

1. Rental Rates: One of the exceptions to the tax category under Proposition 26 is a charge imposed for entrance to or use of local government property, or the purchase, rental, or lease of local government property

1. There is no requirement
that these rates must be limited to the cost of service, as they can be dependent upon a variety of features of the facility or park being rented.

2. Recreation Programs: Under Proposition 26, the exception to the tax category is a charge that is “imposed”. Based upon the League of California Cities implementation guide for Proposition 26, as well as other legal opinions, recreation classes, youth sports, adult sports, are not a charge that is “imposed upon residents”. Rather residents have the option to voluntarily participate in those programs and utilize a private entity (non-governmental entity) for those activities.

Therefore, these rates are allowed to be set based upon the market options within the area rather than being restricted to the cost of service being provided.

Utilizing these two principals is key to understanding the results generated through this analysis. As such, any surpluses in these areas reflected in the report do not need to be reduced to the cost of service, as the fee amount(s) may be based upon the rates that the market can bear.

4 Fines and Penalties
The purpose of a cost of services study is to evaluate service or time-based fees. Fines and penalties are not subject to the same legal regulations as “user fees”. The purpose of the fine and / or penalty is to ensure compliance, therefore, the amount is meant to be punitive in nature, so as to incentivize the compliance. The fine / penalty amount is meant to be set at a rate that ensures there is enough of a financial impact of non-compliance to discourage that non-compliance. While these fines and penalties were not evaluated through this study, they have been included in the master listing of fees and rates in the appendix of this report.
5 Summary of Legal Restrictions and Policy Considerations

Once the full cost of providing services is known, the next step is to determine the “rate” or “price” for services at a level which is up to, and not more than the full cost amount.

The Council is responsible for this decision, which often becomes a question of balancing service levels and funding sources. The placement of a service or activity within the continuum of benefit received may require extensive discussion and at times fall into a “grey area”. However, with the resulting cost of services information from a User Fee Study, the Council can be assured that the adopted fee for service is reasonable, fair, and legal. The City will need to review all fees for service in this analysis and where subsidies are identified may decide to increase them to reduce the deficit, and where over- recoveries are identified the fee must be reduced to be in compliance with the law.

3. User Fee Study Methodology

The Matrix Consulting Group utilizes a cost allocation methodology commonly known and accepted as the “bottom-up” approach to establishing User Fees. The term means that several cost components are calculated for each fee or service. These components then build upon each other to comprise the total cost for providing the service. The following chart describes the components of a full cost calculation:

The general steps utilized by the project team to determine allocations of cost components to a particular fee or service are:
• Calculate fully burdened hourly rates by position, including direct & indirect costs;

• Develop time estimates for the average time spent to deliver each service included in the study;

• Distribute the appropriate amount of the other cost components to each fee or service based on the staff time allocation basis, or another reasonable basis.

The results of these allocations provide detailed documentation for the reasonable determination of the actual cost of providing each service.

One of the key study assumptions utilized in the “bottom up” approach is the use of time estimate averages for the provision of each fee related service. Utilization of time estimates is a reasonable and defensible approach, especially since experienced staff members who understand service levels and processes unique to the City developed these estimates.

The project team worked closely with City staff in developing time estimates with the following criteria:
• Estimates are representative of average times for providing services. Extremely difficult or abnormally simple projects are not factored in the analysis.

• Estimates reflect the time associated with the position or positions that typically perform a service.

• Estimates provided by staff are reviewed and approved by the division / department, and often involve multiple iterations before a Study is finalized.

• Estimates are reviewed by the project team for “reasonableness” agains t their experience with other agencies.

• Estimates were not based on time in motion studies, as they are not practical for the scope of services and time frame for this project.

• Estimates match the current or proposed staffing levels to ensure there is no over- allocation of staff resources to fee and non-fee related activities.

The Matrix Consulting Group agrees that while the use of time estimates is not perfect, it is the best alternative available for setting a standard level of service for which to base a jurisdiction’s fees for service and meets the requirements of California law.

The alternative to time estimating is actual time tracking, often referred to billing on a “time and materials” basis. Except in the case of anomalous or sometimes very large and complex projects, the Matrix Consulting Group believes this approach to not be cost effective or reasonable for the following reasons:
• Accuracy in time tracking is compromised by the additional administrative burden required to track, bill, and collect for services in this manner.

• Additional costs are associated with administrative staff’s billing, refunding, and monitoring deposit accounts.

• Customers often prefer to know the fees for services in advance of applying for permits or participating in programs.

• Departments can better predict revenue streams and staff needs using standardized time estimates and anticipated permit volumes.

Situations arise where the size and complexity of a given project warrants time tracking and billing on a “time and materials” basis. The Matrix Consulting Group has recommended taking a deposit and charging Actual Costs for such fees as appropriate and itemized within the current fee schedule.

4. Results Overview

The motivation behind a cost of services (User Fee) analysis is for the City Council and Departmental staff to maintain services at a level that is both accepted and effective for the community, and also to maintain control over the policy and management of these services.

It should be noted that the results presented in this report are not a precise measurement.

In general, a cost of service analysis takes a “snapshot in time”, where a fiscal year of adopted budgeted cost information is compared to the prior fiscal year of revenue, and workload data available. Changes to the structure of fee names, along with the use of time estimates allow only for a reasonable projection of subsidies and revenue.

Consequently, the Council and Department staff should rely conservatively upon these estimates to gauge the impact of implementation going forward.

Discussion of results in the following chapters is intended as a summary of extensive and voluminous cost allocation documentation produced during the Study. Each chapter will include detailed cost calculation results for each major permit category including the following:
• Modifications or Issues: discussions regarding any revisions to the current fee schedule, including elimination or addition of fees.

• “Per Unit” Results: comparison of the full cost of providing each unit of service to the current fee for each unit of service (where applicable).

The full analytical results were provided to City staff under separate cover from this summary report.

5. City Clerk

The City Clerk’s Office is responsible for administering elections, maintaining accurate and transparent City records, and providing City Departments and the public with access to City records and legislative actions. The fees examined within this study relate to document reproduction and certification, candidate and initiative processing, research, certification of life and copies, and passport application and renewals. The following subsections discuss fee schedule modifications and detailed per unit results for the fee- related services provided by the City Clerk’s Office.
1 Fee Schedule Modifications
In discussions with City Clerk staff, modifications were made to the current fee schedule, including:

• Eliminated Fees: Appeal to Fee Committee and Bid Specification Request, as the City no longer provides these services.

• New Fees: Certification of Life, Certified Copies, Affidavit Process for Building Plans, Copies of Maps, and a section for Passport application and renewal fees were added.

• Fee Name Changes: The title Reproduction was changed to Digital Media Reproduction, to capture reproduction that is provided for videos and meetings.

• Relocation of Fees: Appeal fees were moved from City Clerk to Planning and Code Enforcement, to ensure that the applicant only sees a singular fee that is charged by the City to cover the entire appeal process.

The modifications noted above better reflect the services being provided by City Clerk staff.
2 Detailed Results
The City Clerk’s office collects fees for document reproduction, and passport application and renewals. The total cost calculated for each service includes direct staff costs and Departmental and Citywide overhead.

6. Finance

The Finance Department provides fiscal management and support to all City Departments and programs, by ensuring implementation and adherence to the City’s fiscal municipal code, policies, and state and federal statutes. The fees examined within this study relate to business registration, business licensing, and return check processing. The following subsections discuss fee schedule modifications and detailed per unit results for the fee-related services provided by the Finance Department. 1 Fee Schedule Modifications
The project team reviewed the current fee structure with City staff and the following modification were made:

• New Fees: Reinstatement of Business License and Single Day Event Business License were added as new fee categories to capture services already provided.

• Expansion of Fee Categories: The Business Registration Change was expanded into Name Change and Physical Address change to capture the different level of effort associated with processing those services.

The modifications noted above better reflect the services being provided by Finance staff and will allow for more accurate cost of service calculations. 2 Detailed Results
The Finance Department collects fees for business registration, business licensing, and return check processing services. The total cost calculated for each service includes direct staff costs, direct materials costs (where applicable), and Departmental and Citywide overhead. The following table details the title / name, current fee, total cost, and surplus or deficit associated with each Finance Department fee.

The Reinstatement of Business License is a penalty and as such was not studied. While, the City is overcharging for Late Payment Renewal Business Registration by $16, this is a penalty fee and is not subject to the same rules and regulations as user fees. All other fees from the Finance Department show an under-recovery. The deficit ranges from a low of $1 for Duplicate Business License to a high of $33 for Business Registration Change of Physical Address. Overall, the average per unit cost recovery associated with services provided by Finance is 76%.

7 Returned Check Processing fees are set per CIV § 1719(a).

7. Community Services

The Community Services Department is responsible for providing recreational opportunities that promote involvement and engage the community in order to improve quality of life among residents. Fees examined in this study relate to facility rentals, picnic rentals, field rentals, after school programs, camp, classes, and sports programs. The following subsections discuss fee schedule modifications and detailed per unit results for the fee-related services provided by the Community Services Department. 1 Fee Schedule Modifications
During discussions with Community Services staff, modifications were proposed to the current fee schedule, which include:
• Restructuring of fees : The fee schedule currently lists facility rentals by room name. The City is adding new rooms and rather than calling out each room, it has been decided to categorize the rooms by size and list fees by size in three categories: small, medium, and large meeting rooms. This allows the City to charge more consistently across facilities that have similar sized meeting spaces, as well as accommodate any new facilities.

• Addition of Fees : Several new fees were added including: residential self-haul permits (application and renewal), administrative fee for cancellation of rentals, picnic rentals with jumpers and/or food vendors, special events, and park rentals.

The modifications outlined above will ensure that Community Services’ fee schedule accurately reflects the services being provided by staff and help ensure that costs are captured appropriately.
2 Detailed Results
The Community Services Department collects fees for facility rentals, picnic rentals, field rentals, after school programs, camp, classes, and sports programs. The total cost calculated for each service includes direct staff costs, Departmental, and Citywide overhead, as well as any specific material costs. Due to the current fee bein g variable based upon the season of service as well as either per participant per session or per hour of day, it was not possible to compare the City’s current fee to the full cost fee. Therefore, the following table only shows the total cost per unit calculated for rentals and classes.

It is important to note that for Community Services unlike other services, the fee should be based upon market factors. The figures shown in the table represent staff time associated with administering these rentals and programs, but do not reflect the act ual market value associated with renting these facilities, or market value for providing similar Item Title: 11.1

programs in the private market. Therefore, staff and City management should review and utilize these results as a guideline for updating the current fees for s ervices related to rentals and programs.

Additionally, it is considered best practice that programmatic recreation fees (i.e. sports, aquatics, classes, etc.) not be listed on a master fee schedule and be determined based upon demand for those services as well as the season for those activities. Therefore, while the project team has estimated the cost of these services, it is up to City Community Services staff to apply their discretion when determining where and how to set fees depending upon the programs and classes that are offered. 3 Fee Categories
The Community Services Department collects fees for facility rentals, picnic rentals, field rentals, community classes, and sports programs that are typically discounted for certain groups of people. It is common for recreation services to discount rates for residents and non-profit organizations in order to offer community benefiting opportunities at a more attainable cost. Additionally, it is considered a best practice to set these fees based upon market rate comparison. The following subsections discuss the fee categories associated with rentals and programs.
1 Rentals
Meeting room rentals, field rentals, and picnic table rentals are currently charged based on different categories. The following points outline the rental categories utilized by the City:
• Non-Resident Commercial : Renters for this category are charged the premium reate for rental . This category represents businesses that are not located within the City of Menifee.

• Commercial Resident / Non-Resident Non-Profit: Renters for this category do not receive a discount for facility rentals and receive a discount of 75 and 80% for picnic shelter rentals. This category represents businesses within the City of Menifee, or Non-Profits that have majority of their members not as residents of the City of Menifee.

• Resident: Renters for this category represent the residents within the community and they receive a 50% discount on small and medium room rentals and small picnic shelters, 57% discount on large room rentals, and 60% discount on large picnic shelter.

• Resident Non-Profits Civic/Social/Other: Renters for this category receive the same discount as the resident and reflect non -profit or civic organizations that have the majority of their members as Menifee residents.

• Resident Non-Profit Youth Sports: This category represents youth sports leagues whose participates are residents within the community. The youth league receives discounts of 25% for field rentals, 50% discount for field lights rental and facility rentals (including small picnic shelter), and 60% discount for large picnic shelter rental.

• City Sponsored / City Partnership: City Sponsored rentals or those with partnerships with not profits or community groups are not charged any fee.

As shown in the points, the City discounts rates for residents and non -profits, however, the discount varies by type of rental and residency status for each rental type. It is recommended that these categories be streamlined, and a recommended and consistent discount be developed. The following table shows by category the proposed recommended discount percentage:

Table 7: Community Services – Recommended Fee Categories and Discounts

Fee Name Discount %
Non-Resident 0%
Resident / Resident Non-Profit (Youth Sports and Others) 50% City Sponsored / City Partnership 100%

Condensing the categories will allow the City to better represent its cost recovery philosophy and ensure consistency in discounts. This column recommends that the fee amount charged to a resident will always be 50% of the fee charged to Non-resident that is utilizing the City’s facilities.
2 Classes/Programs
Classes and sports programs, while still charged based on residency within the City like rentals, are charged by only two categories: residents and non-residents. Typically for most classes and sports programs non-residents are charged the full cost while residents are typically given a discount of about 17% of the non -resident rate. The project team would recommend that similar to Rentals, the City develop a consistent policy. All resident rates and fees should be discounted by 50%. This will ensure consistency across all categories for community services.
3 Summary
Overall, based upon best practices, it is recommended that there are three major categories: Non-Resident, Resident / Resident Non-Profit, and City Sponsored events. The Item Title: 11.1

Resident / Resident Non-Profit should receive a 50% discount or be charged half the fee of a non-resident rate. The City Sponsored events should continue to receive a 100% discount. It is considered best practice to set the non -resident rate based upon market trends. This ensures that there is the ability to create a competitive environment, especially as it relates to facilities and classes.
4 Cost Recovery
Through this study, the City of Menifee, would like to follow industry best practices by setting its fees based upon targeted cost recovery levels based upon program activities.

This pricing methodology is known as the Pricing Pyramid Methodology. The pyramid methodology indicates that the higher up the pyramid a program is placed, the greater its cost recovery. For example programs such as Afterschool programs would be closer to the lower levels of the pyramid, whereas programs such as the Drive in Bingo would be closer to the top of the pyramid. The following graphic shows the pricing pyramid.

Based upon the project team’s experience and research of national jurisdictions’ cost recovery policies, which identified targeted cost recovery percentages for each program area, a state specific average was developed. The following table shows the California targeted average cost recovery percentage.

The City may desire to develop the use of the Pricing Pyramid Method to develop cost recovery policies and percentages. While it is important to identify where programs would typically fall within the pyramid, and establish cost recovery guidelines for each level, the City should treat each program uniquely. This would allow the City flexibility to balance a program’s desirability with its impact on the community as a whole.

Ultimately, while the City has the ability to set fees based upon market demand, the City’s goal and desire is to provide high quality recreation activities in a cost effective and cost recoverable manner.

The fees examined within this study relate to abatement, inspections, and removal of graffiti. The following subsections discuss fee schedule modifications and detailed per unit results for the fee -related services provided by the Code Enforcement Department.
1 Fee Schedule Modifications
In discussion with Code Compliance staff, modifications were made to the current fee schedule. The modifications made are outlines below:

• Eliminated Fee: Bee Removal was removed , as these services are no longer provided by the department.

• Fee Name Changes : Notice of Non-Compliance was changed to Notice of Pendency and Graffiti Documentation was changed to Graffiti Removal. Both were changed as a means to provide City staff and the Community with clarity as to what the services entails.

These modifications enable the Department to most accurately and transparently reflect all of the services it provides.

10. Fire

The Fire Department is responsible for keeping residents safe by providing suppression services to mitigate fires and other disasters as well as prevention services to monitor and regulate high risk fire hazards. Fire services are contracted and provided by Cal Fire / Riverside County Fire. Fees examined in this study relate to Prevention services such as Fire Sprinkler Systems, Fire Alarms, Hazardous Materials, Storage Tanks, and New Construction. The following subsections discuss fee schedule modifications and detailed per unit results for the fee-related services provided by the Fire Department. 1 Fee Schedule Modifications
During discussions with Fire staff, modifications were proposed to the current fee schedule, which include:
• Removal of fees: The Standpipe/Hose Valves Water Systems Permit and Annexation Agreement were removed as Fire staff no longer provides these services. Revised Tentative Parcel Map was also removed from the Fire schedule as this service is provided by Engineering.

• Expansion of fees: New 13,13R Fire Sprinkler System was previously charged as a flat plan check fee and a per sprinkler head inspection fee. This was adjusted and split out based on the number of sprinkler heads and an additional per sprinkler head fee. Additionally, battery systems was separated into residential and commercial.

• Condensing of fees: Fees were condensed to reflect current services being provided, which include:

- New Alarm Systems – Per Device: previously had ranges for 0 -999, 1000- 5000, and 5000+ devices. This was combined into one per device fee.

- Solar Photovoltaic System : previously this was separated into three fees:

Solar Photovoltaic Residential, Solar Photovoltaic Commercial Up to 50kW, and Solar Photovoltaic Commercial Greater than 50kW. This has now been condensed down into one fee for Solar Photovoltaic System Plan Check and Inspection.

- Refrigeration System: previously this was separated into two fees: less than 500 lbs and greater or equal to 500 lbs. This was combined into one flat Refrigeration System fee.

• Addition of fees: Fees were added to reflect current services being provided, which include: Low Pressure Tracts for Fire Sprinkler systems, Fire Hydrant/Water Flow Witness Water Systems Permit, FACP Modification, Generator, Battery Systems Facilities, CO2 System, Fire Lane Plan Check and Inspection, Fuel Modification Inspection, Drilling / Blasting Permit – Initial, Emergency Evacuation, Certificate of Occupancy Inspection, Defensible Space Inspections, Lost Card Job Fee, Fire Life- Safety Inspection (Post -Development), and Annual Inspection permits to match the Current California Fire Code.

• Restructuring of Inspection Costs: The base fee for all fire sprinkler systems and fire alarms previously only included time for plan check. It was discussed with the department that this initial base fee should also include inspection time. As such, new fees have been added to the fire sprinkler permits and fire alarm permits for inspection time on the base permit fee.

• Reclassification of Fees : The Annual Life Safety Inspections were previously charges based on the type of occupancy and square footage. This was combined into one main category (All occupancies other than R) and broken out into a large square footage scale to more accurately reflect time to inspect by size of the occupancy.

The modifications outlined will ensure that the Fire fee schedule accurately reflects the services being provided by staff and help ensure that costs are captured appropriately. 2 Detailed Results – Plan Check
The Fire Department collects plan check fees for items such as fire sprinklers, fire alarms, hazardous materials, high piled storage, and storage tanks. The total cost calculated for each service includes direct staff costs and Departmental and Citywide overhead. The following table details the title / name, current fee, total full cost associated with plan review only, and the surplus or deficit associated with each service.

The majority of Fire Inspection fees are over-recovering with the highest source of over- recovery being $231 for Generator – Cell Sites. The fees with an under-recovery range from $3 for Spray Booths to $270 for New Underground Fire Line. The primary reason for the majority of fees showing an over-recovery is due to the hourly rate for inspection services. The previous rate was $3 higher than the new calculated hourly rate for inspection services. The new rate is based only on the inspectors, whereas, the previous analysis utilized a blended rate between plan check and inspection for both plan check and inspections services.

11. Building

The Building and Safety Department is responsible for providing plan check and inspection services on all building and construction within the City to establish safety for residents by ensuring all buildings comply with California building codes and regulations.

Fees included in this analysis are in relation to structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing plan checks, and inspections. The following subsection s discuss fee schedule modifications, and detailed per unit results for the fee -related services provided by the Building Department.
1 Fee Schedule Modifications
During discussions with Building staff, modifications were proposed to the current fee schedule, which include:
• Flat Fee Changed to State Set Fee Structure: Previously, the department charged a flat fee for Solar Permits and charged Plan Check of Solar Permit on a per hour basis. It was decided by the Department that it would better reflect s olar permit services to mimic the state set structure and fees. As such, these permit fees were removed and replaced with the state set structure and maximum allowable fees for Solar Permits.

• Expansion of fees: Certain fees have been broken out into multiple categories to better account and specify services offered.
- The singular reroof fee has been split into a residential and commercial fee to account for the different level of services provided to each category.
- In addition, as mentioned in t he previous point, solar permit were previously charged as a flat fee plus a per hour plan check. This structure has been expanded to mimic the state set fee structure with a base per residential and commercial permits and a plus each additional kilo watt hour.

• Addition of Fees : Three fees were added in order to accommodate an easier method of charging simple and low costs projects that were previously evaluated on the valuation of the project. New flat fees were developed for Kitchen and/or Bathroom Remodels, Windows/Doors – Per window/door, Residential Accessory Structures (including Garages), and Accessory / Additional Dwelling Unit . These additions could be made due to the level of services for these fees not being Item Title: 11.1

dependent on the project value and since they take about the same amount of time for staff to complete regardless of project size.

• Expansion of Valuation Based fees: The City’s current New Building Permit Fee calculation takes .0046 times the project valuation. However, it was determined that this singular calculation does not accurately calculate fees for all projects, and as such two valuation tables were developed: one for single family and one for non-residential projects. These tables will allow a greater nexus between staff level of effort and permit fees.

• Combination Permits / Fees: The City’s current process involves charging a Building Permit Fee, a Plan Check Fee, and then a separate mechanical, electrical, and plumbing fee for each fixture. This is cumbersome and also does not result in a transparent fee schedule. Therefore, through this study it was proposed that the new building permit fee would capture all Building (Structural), Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing, and the fixture fees would only be used in the case of standalone permits.

The modifications outlined above will ensure that the Building fee schedule accurately reflects the services being provided by staff and help ensure that costs are captured appropriately.
2 Detailed Results – Flat Fees
The Building Department collects flat fees for permits such as demolitions, swimming pools, reroofs, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing. The total cost calculated for each service includes direct staff costs, cross-departmental support (i.e. Planning, and Engineering), Departmental and Citywide overhead. The following table details the title / name, current fee, total full cost associated with providing these services, and the surplus or deficit associated with each service.

The majority of Building Department fees show an under-recovery with the largest under- recovery relating to Commercial Solar Permits at $748. This is due to the City proposing to change the fees from the current structure to mimic the state set fees. Fees with an over-recovery range from a low of $1 for Water Heaters and a high of $303 for Swimming Pools/In-Ground Spas.

On average, the Building Department’s flat fees are recovering approximately 115% of fee related costs. It is important to note that even though these fees show an over-recovery and the Department / Division will have to lower these fees, there will be a minimal impact on the overall revenue. The proposed change of charging these fees only as standalone will minimize the amount of times the se fees are charged, as those services will be captured directly in the valuation-based fees.
3 Detailed Results – Valuation
Menifee currently uses a single multiplier to establish permit fees for all basic building permits based on the value of construction costs. As noted in the modifications section, the project team worked with City staff to create two separate valuation tables – Single Family and Non-Residential (Multi-Family / Commercial / Industrial) to better capture the

different level of effort. Additionally, these costs capture the time associated with all inspections and reviews for structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing. The following subsections discuss the valuation -based table and plan check percentage for Single-Family and Multi-Family / Commercial / Industrial projects. 1 Single Family – Permit and Plan Check Fee
The project team worked with staff to develop a separate valuation-based fee schedule that would reflect building staff time and effort for residential inspections. It was also discussed that while commercial projects can vary in dollar value dramatically, the cap of $1 million is appropriate for residential projects. The total cost calculated for each service includes direct staff costs and Departmental and Citywide overhead. Due to the current fee structure being variable based upon the number of fixtures, it was not possible to compare the City’s current fee to the full cost fee, therefore, t he following table only shows the total cost per unit for inspection (permit) services.

First $1,000,000 $11,299.66
Each Additional $1,000 or fraction thereof $4.45

As noted above, the City’s previous methodology used a single factor to calculate building permit fees. The new valuation table above reflects a tiered system that captures economies of scale associated with single family residential projects. As the methodology was changed, there is no comparison of current fee to full cost fee.

Additionally, the total costs calculated include all potential trade permits that would be associated with those projects and would no longer require separate standalone fees.

Along with determining costs associated with inspection services, the project team also worked with Building staff to determine appropriate plan check costs. Based upon a detailed review of time estimates provided to review plans for each valuation range and different project type this analysis showed that Single Family Residential Plan Check should be 65% of the permit fee.

Additionally, as the City is seeing an influx of repeat tract homes, homes that may have similar plans, but still require full inspection, the City is proposing a reduced fee. The fee for repeat tract homes would be 65% of the original building permit fee . This discount is primarily to reduce the plan check fees collected for those homes, as the plan review for these homes would be faster; even though inspection may take similar time. 2 Multi-Family / Commercial / Industrial
A separate valuation structure was developed for Multi -Family / Commercial / Industrial construction projects in order to better account for the services that are provided to applicants. It was decided that a cap of $10 million was sufficient for commercial projects. The total cost calculated for each service includes direct staff costs and Departmental and Citywide overhead. Due to the current fee structure being variable based upon the number of fixtures, it was not possible to compare the City’s current fee to the full cost fee, therefore, the following table only shows the total cost per unit per unit for multi-family / commercial / industrial inspection (permit) services.

The Planning Division, Engineering Department, and Fire Department all provide plan check and/or inspection services on building related projects. In order to recover for all costs of providing these services, fees have been calculated for Planning Plan Review, Engineering Plan Review, and Fire Plan Check and Inspection services. The total cost calculated for each services includes direct staff costs and Departmental and Citywide overhead.

4 Overall Cross-Departmental Support
Implementing the new fees for Planning and Engineering will help ensure that the City is appropriately recovering for all city departments’ costs as it relates to Building Plan Review and inspection. In regards to Fire, as the fees are related to the Building process it is recommended that these fees be relocated to Building’s fee schedule to more transparently identify to the applicant that along with a Building Plan Check and Permit fee, there are also fees for Planning, Engineering, and Fire Review and Inspection.

The following subsections discuss fee schedule modifications and detailed per unit results for the fee -related services provided by the Planning Division.
1 Fee Schedule Modifications
During discussions with Planning staff, modifications were proposed to the current fee schedule, which include:
• Restructuring of fees: The restructuring of fees is outlined below:

- Minor Plot Plans were slightly renamed to Plot Plans Minor and broken out into additional categories for New Construction, Detached Accessory Structure, Model Home Complex, Shipping Containers, Tree Removal / Replacement, and Wall and Fence Plan Review.

- Planning Sign Review – Monument Non-Commercial and Planning Sign Review – Monument Commercial were combined into one Sign Permit (Monument) Comm/Ind/Res.

- Addition of City Clerk Appeal Fee amount into the Planning Appeal fee.

• Removal of fees: Environmental Monitoring Report, Parking Covenant Review, Setback Adjustment, and CC&R Review were eliminated from the Planning schedule, as these services are either covered under another fee or are provided by other departments.

The fees in the table reflect the full cost of providing each service which includes Planning time as well as time for Engineering, Fire, Building, Community Services, and City Clerk staff. Most fees show a deficit . However, some of the fees with large deficits such as Major Plot Plan or Revised Tentative Parcel map were adopted at a subsidized rate compared to the previous analysis. Therefore, the current analysis shows a much higher deficit as it is taking into account the existing deficit from the previous analysis as well as any cost factor changes. The over-recoveries ranges from a low of $212 for Final Site Developments to a high of $5,333 for Plot Plan Time Extensions. The Plot Plan Time Extension surplus is due to process changes which has reduced the level of time associated with these permits and increased overall efficiency. On average, the planning division is recovering approximately 66% of flat fee related costs. 3 Deposit Based Fees
The Planning Division charges many of its fees as deposits as they can span several months and can be very complex in nature. Since these types of applications can vary to widely in the time that staff are required to spend on them, a deposit is generally recommended to ensure that the full cost of the service is recovered. The following table shows the current deposit-based fees for planning and the proposed deposit amount:

As the table indicates the majority of the City’s initial deposits are set to adequately recover for it’s minimum review time. Any additional time will still need to be billed hence the need for the deposit . The Land Division Unit Map was previously a flat fee, but has been recommended to be collected as a deposit as the level of service can vary significantly.
4 Deposit Based Fees – Cost Recovery Policy
As noted in the previous section, the Planning Division collects initial deposits for many of its larger projects and staff bill time and materials associated with the plan review and inspection of these projects to each specific project. In order for the City to achieve full cost recovery on deposit-based fees, it is critical that the following components are addressed and put into place:
• Positions(s): Identify the position(s) within Finance or Community Development that will be responsible for conducting the billing and / or invoicing for the deposit- based fees.
• Timekeeping: Identify the procedure for timekeeping as it is done by Planning and all other cross-departmental staff, including if timekeeping will be done outside of the current timekeeping system, or if it will be part of the timekeeping system with project numbers assigned to each deposit-based fee project. • Hourly Rates: It is recommended that the fully burdened hourly rate (salaries + benefits + productive hours + departmental overhead + citywide overhead) be used Item Title: 11.1

for billing purposes. The hourly rate should also be specific to the position. The City should identify the hourly rate(s) that will be used – a singular blended rate, or a separate rate for the position reviewing the application and the type of hourly rate used.
• Billing / Refunding: The City should clearly outline when the d epartment and / or division should request for additional funding. The standard recommendation is if 10% of the initial deposit is left, the applicant should be billed for additional funds.

Policies regarding refund amounts and to whom the refund will be i ssued should be identified. Refunds should not be issued until all invoices have been paid across all departments involved in the process.
• Stop Work Order / Permit Issuance: The City should also include language regarding if no payment has been received on an invoice for 90 days, the application will be considered dormant and City staff will stop all work on the project. Additionally, it should also clearly clarify when the approval will be granted.

The standard recommendation is that until final payment has been received no final approval can be granted or issued.

Ultimately, deposit-based fees are known as cost recovery fees, as City staff recover all of their time and material costs associated with reviewing those applications. However, in order for these fees to be cost recovery, it is critical that the City have the previously discussed policies and procedures in place.

The Engineering Division is responsible for ensuring new development and infrastructure meet City policies and codes in order to protect the natural environment while allowing new development to provide residents, visitor, and business with quality infrastructure.

Engineering provides review, permitting, and plan check on all l and development, private development, and public improvements. Fees examined in this study relate to Grading, Encroachments, Public Improvements, and Water Quality. The following subsections discuss fee schedule modifications and detailed per unit results for the fee -related services provided by the Engineering Division.
1 Fee Schedule Modifications
During discussions with Engineering staff, modifications were proposed to the current fee schedule, which include:
• Removal of fees: The Drilling Permit, De velopment of Oil Gas and Minerals, approval of Exploratory Boundary, Mining and Extraction Water Development, and Miscellaneous Right of Way Document are being removed, as Engineering staff no longer oversee these processes.

• Expansion of fees: Fees are proposed to be broken out to better specify services offered. The following points provide the fees and the categories into which they were created:

- Single Family Residence Grading / Drainage Plan Check : previous ranges were 1-4 lots, 5-20 lots, 21-50 lots, 51-100 lots, and 100+ lots. These were expanded and combined into 1 -50 lots, 51 -75 lots, 75 -200 lots, and 200+ lots.

- Public Improvements: the current public improvement valuation table ends at $500,000. It was determined that this range was too low for the majority of project costs and as such the table has been revaluated and expanded to the highest range of $25,000,000.

- Comm/Reg Park: this was split from a singular fee into two different categories: Community Park and Regional Park.

- Residential Grading/Drainage Inspections: this was split from a singular fee into two different categories: Residential Up to 1 acre (charged as a flat fee) and Residential 1+ acres (charged as a deposit).

- Commercial / Industrial Final Parcel Map: this was split from a singular fee into a Base per map fee and an additional fee per acre.

- Preliminary Water Quality Management Plan Review: this was split from a singular fee into three different categories: small, medium, and large.

- Final Water Quality Management Plan Review w/o Approved Prelim: this was split from a singular fee into three different categories: small, medium, and large.

• Change to fee type: Landscaping Improvements which were previously charged at

0.5 times the Public Improvements valuation table costs, will now be charged as a flat fee.

• Addition of fees: Fees were added to reflect current services being provided but not identified as separate fees on the schedule. These services include:

Standalone Single-Family Grading, Minor Modification of Traffic Signals, Parking Covenant Review, ESA Review, Encroachment Plan Review and Permit categories.

The modifications outlined above will ensure that the Engineering fee schedule accurately reflects the services being provided by staff and help ensure that costs are captured appropriately.
2 Detailed Results

3 Deposit Based Fees
The Engineering Department charges many of its fees as deposits as they can span several months and can be very complex in nature. Since these types of applications can vary so widely in the time that staff are required to spend on them, a deposit is generally recommended to ensure that the full cost of the service is recovered. The following table shows the proposed deposit amount for Engineering:

Table 24: Deposit-Based Fees – Engineering

The City currently does not list specific deposit amounts and the schedule states “Deposit determined by staff with charges at the fully allocated hourly rates of involved personnel, plus any outside costs”. It has been recommended to replace this statement with proposed deposit amounts, to allow for greater transparency. These deposits are meant to be an initial minimum deposit amount, providing the city with flexibility to collect additional monies as needed.

14. Comparative Survey

As part of the Cost of Services (User Fee) study for the City of Menifee, the Matrix Consulting Group conducted a comparative survey of user fees. The City identified eight jurisdictions to be included in the comparative survey: Corona, Hemet, Lake Elsinore, Moreno Valley, Murrieta, Perris, Riverside, and Temecula. The project team then reviewed public documents (i.e., agenda items, staff reports, budgets, fee schedules, and ordinances), and / or contacted jurisdictions to get comparative information.

While this report will provide the City with a reasonable estimate and understanding of the true costs of providing services, many jurisdictions also wish to consider the local “market rates” for services as a means for assessing what types of changes in fee levels their community can bear. However, a comparative survey does not provide adequate information regarding the relationship of a jurisdiction’s cost to its fees.

The following sections detail various factors to consider when reviewing comparative survey results, as well as graphical comparisons of current fees and total calculated costs for various permits issued or services provided by the City. 1 Economic Factors
In order to provide additional context to the comparative survey information, the project team collected economic factors for the jurisdictions included. Three important economic factors to consider when comparing fees across multiple jurisdictions are:
population, budget, and workforce size. The following table s rank each jurisdiction from smallest to largest for each of these economic factors:

Table 25: Ranking of Jurisdictions by Population

Based on the data shown in the previous tables, the City of Menifee ranks in the lower middle of surveyed jurisdictions in terms of population, budget, and size of workforce. 2 Recency Factor
While the previous comparative information can provide some pe rspective when comparing Menifee’s fees with surveyed jurisdictions, other key factors to consider are when a jurisdiction’s fee schedule was last updated and when the last comprehensive analysis was completed. The following tables detail when each surveyed jurisdiction last conducted a fee analysis and when they last updated their fee schedule.

Temecula 2022

Five of the eight surveyed jurisdictions have conducted fee studied within the last five years. Temecula recently conducted a fee study in 2021, and Riverside is currently undergoing a fee study. Perris is the only jurisdiction which has not completed a fee study in over 10 years. With the exception of Hemet and Perris all other jurisdictions have updated their fee schedule within the last three years. Hemet updated their fee schedule within the last five years and Perris has not updated their fee schedule in over 10 years.

It is important to note that even though jurisdictions may have conducted fee studies, fees are not always adopted at full cost recovery. The comparative results will only show the adopted fees for the surveyed jurisdictions, not necessarily the full cost associated with the comparable service.
3 Additional Factors
Along with keeping the statistics outlined in the previous sections in mind, the following issues should also be noted regarding the use of market surveys in the setting of fees for service:
• Each jurisdiction and its fees are different, and many are not based on the actual cost of providing services.

• The same “fee” with the same name may include more or less steps or sub- activities. I n addition, jurisdictions provide varying levels of service and have varying levels of costs associated with providing services such as staffing levels, salary levels, indirect overhead costs, etc.

Market surveys can run the risk of creating a confusing excess of data that will obscure rather than clarify policy issues. Because each jurisdiction is different, the Matrix Consulting Group recommends that the information contained in the market comparison

38 Perris’ last fee study upon which the current fees are based was complete around 1998.

of fees be used as a secondary decision-making tool, rather than a tool for establishing an acceptable price point for services.
4 Comparative Survey Results
As part of this study, the project team conducted a survey of how the City’s current user fees and calculated full cost compare to other similarly sized and regionally located jurisdictions.

5 Summary
Based upon the comparative survey, the City’s full cost is generally higher than current fees charged and both are generally higher than the average of current fees surveyed of surrounding jurisdictions. It is important to note that many surrounding jurisdictions have not conducted comprehensive fee studies and as such may not reflect the current full cost of their services. Additionally, the results of this survey only show the fees adopted by council, not the cost recovery policy decisions for departments or a jurisdiction. As such, the results of this survey should be used as a secondary decision-making tool. $-

15. Development Services Surcharges

There are two typical surcharges assessed as part of the development review process – General Plan Maintenance and Technology fee. The City of Menifee currently charges a General Plan Maintenance fee as part of the building phase but does not assess a Technology Fee. The following subsections discuss the calculation of the General Plan Maintenance Fee and creation of a Technology Fee.
1 General Plan Maintenance Fee
The City of Menifee currently assesses a General Plan Maintenance Fee as part of its building permit process. The fee is meant to account for updates to the general plan, zoning ordinance, housing elements, and other long-range planning activities that are part of the larger General Plan. This is a fairly typical fee charged by many jurisdictions. The City of Menifee currently charges this fee as a percentage of the building permit fee, at the time of building permit submittal. The concept behind charging it during the building permit phase is that any development project, which gets to that phase, makes enough of an impact to require the need for an update to the Zoning Code or the General Plan.

The project team worked with staff in the Planning Division to estimate the annual percentage of time spent by staff as it relates to long-range planning. In addition to internal staff cost there are contracted costs associated with updates to the General Plan and Zoning Code. The following table shows by cost component the total cost associated with each type of cost factor, the life of the cost factor, and the resulting annual cost:

Table 30: General Plan Maintenance Fee Cost Components

Cost Category % of Time Cost Life (Yrs) Total Annual Cost Senior Planner 50%40 $126,771 1 $126,771
Assistant Planner 50%41 $105,951 1 $105,951
Director 10% $38,358 1 $38,358
Manager 20% $63,470 1 $63,470
Management Analyst 5% $10,966 1 $10,966

Subtotal Staffing Costs $359,180
General Plan Update $1,500,000 15 $100,000
Housing Element Update $500,000 8 $62,500
Subtotal Contractual Costs $162,500
Total General Plan Maintenance Annual Cost $521,680

40 Only 50% of one Senior Planner is specifically dedicated to General Plan efforts; remaining 50% is for other long -range and policy projects.
41 Only 50% of one Assistant Planner is specifically dedicated to General Plan efforts; remaining 50% is for other long-range and policy projects.

The total annual costs associated with updating the General Plan are approximately $522,000; of which staff costs represents $359,000. It is important to note that the staff costs in the table are representative of fully burdened hourly rates and billable time.

In order to assess this fee as a percentage of the building permit fee, the project team took the annual cost associated with general plan upkeep and divided it by the average total building permit revenue for FY19-20 and FY20-21. The following table shows this calculation:

Table 31: General Plan Maintenance Fee Calculation

Category Amount
Total General Plan Annual Maintenance Cost $521,680
Average Annual Building Permit Revenue $5,938,176
General Plan Maintenance Fee 9%

As the table indicates, the calculated General Plan Maintenance Fee is 9% of the building fee. The following table compares the city’s current fee to the full cost fee calculated through this study:

Table 32: General Plan Maintenance Fee Per Unit Result Comparison

Category Current Fee Full Cost Surplus / (Deficit)
General Plan Maintenance Fee 5% 9% (4%)

The City’s current fee is 5% of the building permit. Therefore, the full cost fee would result in an increase of the City’s current fee from 5% to 9%.

As part of this analysis, the project team conducted a comparative survey of other local jurisdictions and their assessment of the General Plan Maintenance Fee. Like other comparative efforts, the survey below simply shows the fees charged by the jurisdict ion and does not include the basis upon which the other jurisdictions calculated or developed their fee. The following table shows the results of this comparative analysis:

Table 33: General Plan Maintenance Fee – Comparative Survey

Jurisdiction Fee Amount
Corona 5% of Building Permit Fee
Hemet 0.18% of Building Valuation
Murrieta $50 per Planning Application and Building Permit Riverside 10% of Building Permit Fee

As the table indicates some of the surrounding jurisdictions charge a General Plan Fee.

Not all cities charge the fee in a similar manner, for example Corona and Riverside charge it as a percentage of the building permit fee, whereas Hemet charges it as a percentage Item Title: 11.1

of the building valuation. The City’s full cost fee of 9% would be above Corona but lower than Riverside. Updating the City’s General Plan Maintenance fee will allow the Menifee to be in alignment with other jurisdictions and better recover its costs for long -range planning efforts.
2 Technology Surcharge Fee
The City does not currently collect a Technology Fee. The Technology Fee allows the City to support the costs associated with the City’s permitting system, staff time for managing the systems, acquiring the system, mobile devices used for permitting, etc.

It is important to note that this cost has traditionally been incorporated as an overhead line item into the fees. For greater transparency to the fee payors, as well as the ability to ensure dedicated use of funding, these costs are being extracted from the indirect costs and being evaluated as a separate surcharge. The following table shows by cost category, the total cost, the quantity of items, the number of years the item or cost is related to, and the resulting annual cost:

Table 34: Technology Surcharge Fee Cost Components

Item Cost Qty Total Cost # of Years Annual Cost
Bluebeam Revu $504 55 $27,720 1 $27,720
Accela Civic Platform and Citizen Access $122,280 1 $122,280 1 $122,280 QLESS $8,333 1 $8,333 1 $8,333
IT Internal Support

Bldg IT Support $232,655 1 $232,655 1 $232,655
Eng IT Support $299,828 0.7043 $209,880 1 $209,880
Total Tech Fee Costs $871,832

Based upon development-related services technology needs, as well as internal IT staff and operational support, the annual technology fee costs are approximately $872,000

Working with City staff, the project team determined that the most relatable nexus for the Technology Fee is proportionate to the permit fee. This means, the greater the permit fee, the greater the Technology Fee as there is more software utilization and s torage space for larger projects. Therefore, the project team took the total Technology Annual Cost and divided it by the total permit annual cost associated with Building, Fire, Planning, and Engineering services. The following table shows this calculation:

42 This has been prorated as 30% of Planning staff work on long -range planning or non-current planning activities. 43 This has been prorated as 30% of Engineering staff work on CIP related construction inspections.

Table 35: Technology Fee Calculation

Category Amount
Total Technology Annual Cost $871,832
Total Projected Development Permit Cost $15,265,352
Technology Fee as % of Permit Fee 5.7%

Based upon this calculation, the City’s technology fee would be 5.7% of the permit fee.

Therefore, if a permit fee was $100, the technology fee collected would be $5.70; whereas if a permit fee was $1,000; the technology fee collected would be $ 57. This ty pe of structure enables the technology fee to be more proportionately distributed based upon the projects and their impact upon the system.

As part of this analysis, the project team conducted a comparative survey of other local jurisdictions and their assessment of a Technology Fee. Like other comparative efforts, the survey below simply shows the fees charged by the jurisdiction and does not include the basis upon which the other jurisdictions calculated or developed their fee. The following table shows the results of this comparative analysis:

Table 36: Technology Fee – Comparative Survey

Jurisdiction Fee Amount
Corona $47 per Permit
Hemet $7.25 per Permit
Moreno Valley $3 per Permit
Murrieta $5 per Permit
Riverside 10% of Building Permit and Plan Check Fee
Riverside County 4% of Building Permit & Plan Check Fee Irvine 10% of Permit / Project Fees
South Pasadena 10% of Permit / Project Fees
Pasadena 0.50% of Building Valuation
Orange 0.12% of Building Valuation

As the table indicates, many jurisdictions charge this fee. This fee can be assessed either as per permit, % of permit / application fee, and / or % of building permit valuation . The calculated full cost for the City at 5.7% of the permit fee is only higher than Riverside County, but lower than all other jurisdictions that implement their fee in a similar manner.

Implementing this fee will allow the City a mechanism to help fund the current costs for its development-related permitting needs.
3 Surcharge Funds
It is a best practice to collect and account for General Plan Maintenance and Technology surcharges in separate accounts. The City of Menifee currently has a separate Item Title: 11.1

subaccount for the General Plan Maintenance Fee. Prior to implementation, the City should develop a separate fund or subaccount within the IT Fund to house the Technology Surcharge. This will ensure compliance with funding requirements, enable appropriate allocation of funds to general plan or technology-related activities, and mitigate any potential issues with comingling of funds.

16. Annual Revenue Impact
One of the most important components of a cost of services analysis is the revenue impact associated with fees. The focus of this analysis has been all fees for service charged by the City of Menifee. There are three main types of fee categories for the City of Menifee: Administrative / Miscellaneous Fees, Community Services, and Development Services. The following subsections discuss the revenue impacts based upon these three categories.
1 Administrative / Miscellaneous Revenue Impact
Administrative and Miscellaneous Fees refer to the fees charged by Finance (Business License), City Clerk, Code Enforcement , and the Police Department. These departments provide fee-related services as an ancillary function and their revenue is a small component of their overall funding, which is primarily through general fund monies (i.e. property taxes).

As part of this analysis, the project team analyzed the revenue collected for these departments in the last fiscal year (FY2021) and compared it against the annual fee- related cost. The fee-related annual cost is calculated based upon the amount of workload processed for the different types of activities. Based upon FY21 revenue and workload, the City is under-recovering by approximately $ 117,000 or at a cost recovery level of 52%. The following table compares by Department the revenue, the annual fee - related cost, the annual surplus / (deficit), and the associated cost recovery percentage.

Department / Division
Annual Fee
Revenue
Annual Fee-Related
Expenses
Annual Surplus
/ (Deficit) Cost Recovery %
Finance $68,228 $101,021 ($32,793) 68%
Code Enforcement $2,750 $5,150 ($2,400) 53%
Police $55,255 $137,196 ($81,942) 40%
Total $126,232 $243,368 ($117,135) 52%

The largest source of under-recovery for Administrative / Miscellaneous fees is in relation to Police fees at $82,000. The City recently established its in -house Police department and as such the fees currently charged by the Department were set based upon neighboring jurisdictions and not based upon the true cost of service. Updating the fees for the Police Department based upon the current study, will allow the City to offset the under-recovery.

For the Finance deficit of $33,000, this is primarily due to business license renewals and the sheer volume of activity. Even marginally increasing those fees will help the City better recover its costs.
2 Community Service Revenue Impact
The Community Services Department is unique compared to other City departments.

While this department is primarily public-facing, many of its services are heavily subsidized as the functions are considered to be in support of promoting public health and providing benefit to the community. Additionally, this department was much more impacted by the recent COVID-19 Pandemic, as due to government rules and regulations, many of its classes were cancelled, and facilities were closed and prevented from being rented out. Therefore, the cost recovery for this department should be analyzed separately from other City funds and departments.

As discussed, due to the unique impact of COVID -19 on this department, revenue collected in FY20 is utilized instead of FY21. For the majority of FY21, many facilities were closed and recreational activities were not offered, so the revenue doe s not reflect an accurate picture of the potential revenue generation for Community Services. While COVID-19 did begin in FY20, and affected revenue for the last quarter of FY20, it still seems to be a fairer representation as it includes revenue for summe r, fall, and winter, and some of spring.

The revenue for this department was compared against the annual fee -related cost. The annual fee-related cost was calculated by estimating the percentage of time spent by staff on fee-related activities, compared to general park maintenance or city subsidized programs. The following table compares the revenue, the annual fee -related cost, the annual surplus / (deficit), and the associated cost recovery percentage.

Department
Annual Fee
Revenue
Annual Fee-Related
Expenses
Annual Surplus
/ (Deficit) Cost Recovery %
Community Services $225,203 $2,638,874 ($2,413,671) 9%

Based upon FY20 revenue, and FY22 fee-related annual expenses, the Community Services Department is under-recovering for its services by approximately $2.4 million.

The $2.4 million deficit represents 9% cost recovery. This cost recovery is lower than the average of 20-40% that is typically seen for Recreation Services. However, it is typical that this department usually represents the largest portion of fee subsidies within a City. 3 Development Services Revenue Impact
The last set of departments / divisions reviewed were in relation to private development activity. This includes Building, Planning, Fire, and Engineering. These departments / Item Title: 11.1

divisions primarily service the public and the majority of their expenditures are fee - related. It is also important to note that there is a lot of inter -dependence among these departments / divisions. Building staff will review Planning applications, Planning staff provide support on Building and Engineering Fees, and Fire staff will review and inspect Building, planning, and Engineering applications. Therefore, when evaluating these services, it is important to not only evaluate the individual fees, but look at the overall revenue impact for these departments / divisions.

Similar to Administrative / Miscellaneous fe es, the revenue utilized was FY21 actual revenue for these departments / divisions. However, for the Building division this revenue was further manipulated and analyzed as building permit and plan check fees are collected up front, but the revenue can represent multiple years’ worth of activity. Since the cost only represents one years’ worth of services, the revenue for Building was annualized to better represent the true annual revenue.

The annual development revenue is compared against the annual fee-re lated cost. The annual fee-related cost includes both the direct cost and any indirect costs allocated to the department / division from the Citywide cost allocation plan. For these departments / divisions the fee-related cost is typically the majority of the department’s costs. The exception to this is that for Fire, the cost only represents the costs associated with the in- house Fire Marshal division as well as the Fire Prevention staff. For Planning, the costs only represent current planning efforts, as long-range is captured through the General Plan Fee surcharge, and for Engineering, the costs only represent development activity and not costs related to capital improvements or City projects.

Based upon FY21 revenue, and the calculated annual fee -related cost, the City is under- recovering for development -related activities by approximately $ 816,000 or at a cost recovery level of 91%. The following table compares by Department the revenue, the annual fee-related cost, the annual surplus / (deficit), and t he associated cost recovery percentage.

Department / Division
Annual Fee
Revenue
Annual Fee-Related
Expenses
Annual Surplus
/ (Deficit) Cost Recovery %
Building $3,922,166 $2,884,361 $1,037,806 136%
Planning $1,634,366 $2,315,437 ($681,071) 71%
Fire $646,692 $1,401,217 ($754,525) 46%
Engineering $2,295,479 $2,713,214 ($417,735) 85%
Total $8,498,703 $9,314,229 ($815,526) 91%

The largest source of deficit for development services is Fire at $754,000 followed by Planning at $681,000. The Building Division is showing an over-recovery of $ 1.0 million.

However, for all of these divisions, the revenue collected is the revenue collected by the Department / division, but it may account for more than that Department / Division’s cost.

For example, Building’s revenue includes support for Planning and Engineering, as the City does not currently have a separate fee for those reviews and inspections. Going forward there will be a separate fee, so it will be easier to separate. Similarly, the revenue for Planning may include revenue for Fire and Engineering. Therefore, the cost recovery must be evaluated together for these four departments / divisions, which shows an overall deficit. Adopting the full cost fees, as well as new cross -departmental support fees identified in this report, will allow the City to better recover all of its development - related costs.

17. Cost Recovery Considerations
The following sections provide guidance regarding how and where to increase fees, determining annual update factors, and developing cost recovery policies and procedures.
1 Fee Adjustments
This study has documented and outlined on a fee -by-fee basis where the City is under and over collecting for its fee -related services. City and Department management will now need to review the results of the study and adjust fees in accordance with Departmental and City philosophies and policies. The following dot point s outline the major options the City has in adjusting its fees.
• Over-Collection: Upon review of the fees that were shown to be over-collecting for costs of services provided, the City should reduce the current fee to be in line with the full cost of providing the service.

• Full Cost Recovery: For fees that show an under-collection for costs of services provided, the City may decide to increase the fee to full cost recovery immediately.

• Phased Increase: For fees with significantly low cost recovery levels, or which would have a significant impact on the community, the City could choose to increase fees gradually over a set period of time.

The City will need to review the results of the fee study and associated cost recovery levels and determine how best to adjust fees. While decisions regarding fees that currently show an over -recovery are fairly straight forward, the following subsections, provide further detail on why and how the City should consider either implementing Full Cost Recovery or a Phased Increase approach to adjusting its fees. 1 Full Cost Recovery
Based on the permit or review type, the City may wish to increase the fee to cover the full cost of providing services. Certain permits may be close to cost recovery already, and an increase to full cost may not be significant. Other permits may have a more significant increase associated with full cost recovery.

Increasing fees associated with permits and services that are already close to full cost recovery can potentially bring a Department ’s overall cost recovery level higher. Often, Item Title: 11.1

Matrix Consulting Group 96

these minimal increases can provide necessary revenue to counterbalance fees which are unable to be increased.

The City should consider increasing fees for permits for which services are rarely engaged to full cost recovery. These services often require specific expertise and can involve more complex research and review due to their infrequent nature. As such, setting these fees at full cost recovery will ensure that when the permit or review is requested, the City is recovering the full cost of its services.
2 Phased Increases
Depending on current cost recovery levels some current fees may need to be increased significantly in order to comply with established or proposed cost recovery policies. Due to the type of permit or review, or the amount by which a fee needs to be increased, it may be best for the City to use a phased approach to reaching their cost recovery goals.

As an example, you may have a current fee of $200 with a full cost of $1,000, representing 20% cost recovery. If the current policy is 80% cost recovery, the current fee would need to increase by $600, bringing the fee to $800, in order to be in compliance. Assuming this particular service is something the City provides quite often, and affects various members of the community, an instant increase of $600 may not be feasible. Therefore, the City could take a phased approach, whereby it increases the fee annually over a set period until cost recovery is achieved.

Raising fees over a set period of time not only allows the City to monitor and control the impact to applicants, but also ensure that applicants have time to adjust to significant increases. Continuing with the example laid out above, the City could increase the fee by $150 for the next four years, spreading out the increase. Depending on the desired overall increase, and the impact to applicants, the City could choose to vary the number of years by which it chooses to increase fees. However, the project team recommends that the City not phase increases for periods greater than five years, as that is the maximum window for which a comprehensive fee assessment should be completed. 2 Annual Adjustments
Conducting a comprehensive analysis of fee-related services and costs annually would be quite cumbersome and costly. The general rule of thumb for comprehensive fee analyses is between three and five years. This allows for jurisdictions to ensure they account for organizational changes such as staffing levels and merit increases, as well as process efficiencies, code or rule changes, or technology improvements. The City of Menifee already follows this best practice and should continue with this practice.

Additionally, the City should also continue its practice of annually updating its fees based upon the regional CPI. This ensures that any increases in costs are captured in fees and proposed cost recovery levels are maintained in between comprehensive updates. 3 Policies and Procedures
This study has identified the areas where the City is under-collecting the cost associated with providing services. This known funding gap is therefore being subsidized by other City revenue sources. Development of cost recovery policies and procedures will serve to ensure that current and future decision makers understand how and why fees were determined and set, as well as provide a road map for ensuring consistency when moving forward.

It is typically recommended that private benefit (development -related activities) are set at 100% cost recovery, whereas other more community benefitted activities typically have lower cost recovers in the range of 20-50% (i.e. Community Services, Finance, Police, etc.) A department specific cost recovery policy would allow the City to better control the cost recovery associated with different types of services being provided and the community benefit received.
