A.
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Joshua Calhoun, Finance Director
Prepared By: Joshua Calhoun, Finance Director
Department: Finance
SUBJECT:
Discussion of Proposed Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan RECOMMENDATION:
Discussion of Proposed Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan and provide feedback to staff.
SUMMARY:
The City has completed a draft of the proposed comprehensive Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan for City Council’s review. The last comprehensive fee study was completed six years ago with several fee and cost allocation plan updates occurring since FY 2019. The City Council will review each service and the suggested recovery rate to determine how much of each service should be recovered through fees and how much should be subsidized through the City’s tax dollars. The review will provide direction to staff regarding the cost recovery of services associated with each fee.
BACKGROUND:
User fees and charges are collected to recover some or all costs incurred in providing a specific service from which one or more individuals obtain a benefit. It is best practice for cities to perform a comprehensive update every 5 years and review user fee and charge schedules annually. The periodic review of fees provides a consistent realignment of the fee structures when compared to the cost of providing the services.
The comprehensive study is in line with the City Council’s goal of assuring financial stability by identifying new revenue sources and continuing prudent financial management.
City departments have been working with Willdan Financial Services since June 2024 in determining the time required to provide certain services as well as providing measurements for allocation of overhead. City staff was interviewed regarding the processes and time to complete the service associated with the fee as well as service
provided on citywide processes. The result of the interviews is the proposed Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No impact at this time. The outcome of the adoption of the Proposed Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan are the reduction or increase of fees as well as the overhead charges to funds other than the General Fund.
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:
The Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan is consistent with Strategic Direction #3 “Assure financial stability by identifying new revenue sources and continuing prudent financial management.”

1 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Executive Summary
The City of Norco engaged Willdan Financial Services (Willdan) to determine the full costs incurred by the City to support the various activities for which the City charges user fees. Due to the complexity and the breadth of performing a comprehensive review of fees, Willdan employed a variety of fee methodologies to identify the full costs of individual fee and program activities. This report and the appendices herein identify 100% full cost recovery for City services. Appendix C details the full cost and suggested fees as determined through discussion with departmental staff. The recommended fees identified herein are either at or less than full cost recovery.
DRAFT
2 Comprehensive User Fee Study
User Fee Background
Background
As part of a general cost recovery strategy, local governments adopt user fees to fund programs and services that provide limited or no direct benefit to the community as a whole (“User Fees”). As cities struggle to maintain levels of service and variability of demand, they have become increasingly aware of subsidies provided by the General Fund and have implemented cost-recovery targets. To the extent that governments use general tax monies to provide individuals with private benefits, and not require them to pay the full cost of the service (and, therefore, receive a subsidy), the government is limiting funds that may be available to provide other community-wide benefits. In effect, the government is using community funds to pay for private benefits. Unlike most revenue sources, cities have more control over the level of user fees they charge to recover costs, or the subsidies they can institute.
Fees in California are required to conform to the statutory requirements of the California Constitution, Proposition 218, Proposition 26, and the California Code of Regulations. The Code also requires that the City Council adopt fees by either ordinance or resolution, and that any fees in excess of the estimated total cost of rendering the related services must be approved by a popular vote of two-thirds of those electors voting because the charge would be considered a tax and not a fee. There are no fees suggested to be set above the cost of service and as such a public vote is not required.
California User Fee History
Before Proposition 13, in times of fiscal shortages, California cities were able to raise property taxes, which funded everything from police and recreation to development-related services. However, this situation changed with the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978.
Proposition 13 established the era of revenue limitation in California local government. In subsequent years, the state saw a series of additional limitations to local government revenues. Proposition 4 (1979) defined the difference between a tax and a fee: a fee can be no greater than the cost of providing the service; and Proposition 218 (1996) further limited the imposition of taxes for certain classes of fees. As a result, cities were required to secure a supermajority vote in order to enact or increase taxes. Due to the thresholds needed to increase local taxes, cities have less control and very few successful options for new revenues.
The State of California took a series of actions in the 1990’s and 2000’s to improve the State’s fiscal situation, at the expense of local governments. In 2004-05, the Educational Revenue Augmentation Funds (“ERAF”) take-away of property taxes and the reduction of Vehicle License Fees further reduced local tax revenues.
In addition, on November 2, 2010, California voters approved Proposition 26, the “Stop Hidden Taxes Initiative”, which is aimed at defining “regulatory fees” as a special tax rather than a fee, thus requiring approval by two-thirds vote of local voters. These regulatory fees are typically intended to mitigate the societal and environmental impacts of a business or person’s activities. Proposition 26 contains seven categories of exceptions. The fees analyzed as part of a User Fee study typically fall under categories one through five consisting of charges for specific benefits, government service, regulatory need, for use of government property, or a fine/penalty.

3 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Additional Policy Considerations
State regulations require that municipalities update their fee schedules to reflect the actual costs of certain public services primarily benefiting users. User Fees recover costs associated with the provision of specific services benefiting the user, thereby typically reducing the use of General Fund monies for such purposes.
In addition to collecting the direct cost of labor and materials associated with processing and administering user services, it is common for local governments to recover reasonable support costs. Support costs are those costs relating to a local government’s central service departments that are allocable to the local government’s operating departments. Central services support cost allocations were incorporated using the resulting indirect overhead percentages determined through the City’s Cost Allocation Plan. A Cost Allocation Plan identifies the central service functions of the City such as Finance, City Manager, and Human Resources and allocates their cost to the departments and funds of the City that they support. This plan was used in the User Fee study to account for the burden placed upon central services by the operating departments in order to allocate a proportionate share of central service cost through the study.
As labor effort and costs associated with the provision of services fluctuate over time, a significant element in the development of any fee schedule is that it has the flexibility to remain current. Therefore, it is recommended that the City include an inflationary factor in the resolution adopting the fee schedule to allow the City to annually increase or decrease the fees by changes in a pre-approved inflationary index, as described below. However, such inflationary increases shall not exceed the reasonable estimated cost of providing the services each year.
The City may employ many different inflationary factors. The most commonly used inflator is some form of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as it is widely well known and accepted. A similar inflator is the implicit price deflator for GDP, which is much like the CPI except that while the CPI is based on the same “basket” of goods and services every year, the price deflators’ “basket” can change year to year. Since the primary factor for the cost of a City’s services is usually the costs of the personnel involved, tying an inflationary factor that connects more directly to the personnel costs can also be suitable if there is a clear method, or current practice of obtaining said factor.
Each City should use an inflator that they believe works the best for their specific situation and needs but cannot rely solely on the CPI increase as it is incumbent upon each agency to ensure the amount of the fees charged does not exceeds the reasonable estimated costs of providing the services. It is also recommended that the City perform this internal review annually with a comprehensive review of services and fees performed every five years, which would include adding, amending, or removing fees for programs/services.

4 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Study Objective
As the City of Norco seeks to efficiently manage limited resources and adequately respond to increased service demands, it needs a variety of tools. A User Fee Study provides assurance that the City has the best information and the best resources available to make sound decisions, fairly and legitimately set fees, maintain compliance with state law and local policies, and meet the needs of the City administration and its constituency. Given the limitations on raising revenue in local government, the City recognizes that a User Fee Study is a very cost-effective way to understand the total cost of services and identify potential fee deficiencies. Essentially, a User Fee is a payment for a requested service provided by a local government that primarily benefits an individual or group.
The total cost of each service included in this analysis is based on the full cost of providing City services, including direct salaries and benefits of City staff, direct departmental costs, and indirect costs from central service support. This study determines the full cost recovery fee for the City to provide each service; however, each fee is set at the City’s discretion, up to 100% of the total cost, as specified in this report.
The principal goal of the study was to help the City determine the full cost of the services that the City provides. In addition, Willdan established a series of additional objectives including:
Developing a rational basis for setting fees
Identifying subsidy amount, if applicable, of each fee in the model Ensuring compliance with State law
Developing an updatable and comprehensive list of fees Maintaining accordance with City policies and goals
The study results will help the City better understand its true costs of providing services and may serve as a basis for making informed policy decisions regarding the most appropriate fees, if any, to collect from individuals and organizations that require individualized services from the City.
Scope of the Study
The scope of this study encompasses a review and calculation of the user fees charged by the following Norco departments and fee groups:
Building & Safety
City Clerk
Code Enforcement
Communications
Community Services
Animal Control
Facilities Maintenance
Finance
Business License
Fire
Planning
Public Works
Water Utility
Sheriff
DRAFT
5 Comprehensive User Fee Study
The study involved the identification of existing and potential new fees, fee schedule restructuring, data collection and analysis, orientation and consultation, quality control, communication and presentations, and calculation of individual service costs (fees) or program cost recovery levels.
Aim of the Report
The User Fee Study focused on the cost of City services, as City staff currently provide them at existing, known, or reasonably anticipated service and staff level needs. This report provides a summary of the study results, and a general description of the approach and methods Willdan and City staff used to determine the recommended fee schedule. The report is not intended to document all of the numerous discussions throughout the process, nor is it intended to provide an influential dissertation on the qualities of the utilized tools, techniques, or alternative approaches.
DRAFT
6 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Project Approach and Methodology
Conceptual Approach
The basic concept of a User Fee Study is to determine the “reasonable cost” of each service provided by the City for which it charges a user fee. The full cost of providing a service may not necessarily become the City’s fee, but it serves as the objective basis as to the maximum amount that may be collected.
The standard fee limitation established in California law for such fees is the “estimated, reasonable cost” principle. In order to maintain compliance with the letter and spirit of this standard, every component of the fee study process included a related review. The use of budget figures, time estimates, and improvement valuation clearly indicates reliance upon estimates for some data.
Fully Burdened Hourly Rates
The total cost of each service included in this analysis is primarily based on the Fully Burdened Hourly Rates (FBHRs) that were determined for City personnel directly involved in providing services. The FBHRs include not only personnel salary and benefits (see Appendix B), but also any costs that are reasonably ascribable to personnel. The cost elements that are included in the calculation of fully burdened rates are:
Salaries & benefits of personnel involved
Operating costs applicable to fee operations
Departmental support, supervision, and administration overhead Indirect City-wide overhead costs calculated through the Cost Allocation Plan An important factor in determining the fully burdened rate is in the calculation of productive hours for personnel. This calculation takes the available workable hours in a year of 2,080 and adjusts this figure to 1,650 productive or billable hours to account for calculated or anticipated hours’ employees are involved in non-billable activities such as paid vacation, sick leave, holidays, and other considerations as necessary.
Dividing the full cost, including overhead, of a position by the number of productive hours provides the FBHR.
The FBHRs are then used in conjunction with time estimates, when appropriate for how a service is provided, to calculate a fee’s cost based on the personnel and the amount of their time that is involved in providing each service.

7 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Summary Steps of the Study
The process of the study is straightforward and simple in concept. The following list provides a summary of the study process steps:
Allowable Costs
This report identifies three types of costs that, when combined, constitute the fully burdened cost of a service (Appendix A). Costs are defined as
direct labor, including salary and benefits,
departmental overhead costs, and the City’s
central services overhead, where
departmental and central service overhead
costs constitute support costs. These cost
types are defined as follows:
Direct Labor (Personnel Costs): The
costs related to staff salaries for
time spent directly on fee-related
services.
Departmental Overhead: A
proportional allocation of
departmental overhead costs,
including operation costs such as
supplies and materials that are necessary for the department to function. Central Services Overhead: These costs, as provided via the City’s Cost Allocation Plan, represent services provided by those Central Services Departments whose primary function is to support other City departments.

8 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Methodology
The three methods of analysis for calculating fees used in this report are the:
Case Study Method (Standard Unit Cost Build-Up Approach): This approach estimates the actual labor and material costs associated with providing a unit of service to a single user. This analysis is suitable when City staff time requirements do not vary dramatically for a service, or for special projects where the time and cost requirements are easy to identify at the project’s outset. Further, the method is effective in instances when a staff member from one department assists on an application, service or permit for another department on an as-needed basis. Costs are estimated based upon interviews with City staff regarding the time typically spent on tasks, a review of available records, and a time and materials analysis.
Program Cost Approach: In some instances, the underlying data is not available or varies widely, leaving a standard unit cost build-up approach impractical. In addition, market factors and policy concerns (as opposed to actual costs) tend to influence rental based fee levels more than other types of services. Willdan employed a different methodology where appropriate to fit a programs’ needs and goals. Typical programmatic approach cases are valuation-based fees, Recreation programs, and instances where a program cost is divided over the user base to obtain a per applicant cost for shared cost services.
Valuation Based Fees: This manner of collection is used when the valuation of the improvement can be used as a proxy for the amount of effort it would take for City staff to complete the service provided. More specifically, this approach is commonly used for certain User Fees in the Building Division. It is generally accepted that as a project’s size scales up, the cost of the project increases, and the amount of effort needed to review and inspect also increases. Using a valuation-based fees provides for a system that can adjust as project sizes scale. Land is not included in the valuation.
Quality Control/Quality Assurance
All study components are interrelated, thus flawed data at any step in the process will cause the ultimate results to be inconsistent and unsound. The elements of our Quality Control process for User Fee calculations include:
Involvement of knowledgeable City staff
Clear instructions and guidance to City staff
Reasonableness tests and validation
Internal and external reviews
Cross-checking
Reasons for cost increases/decreases over current fees
Within the fee tables in Appendix C, the differences are identified between the full costs calculated through the study and the fee levels currently in effect. The reasons for differences between the two can arise from a number of possible factors including:
DRAFT
9 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Previous fee levels may have been set at levels less than full cost intentionally, based on policy decisions
Position staffing levels, seniority, and the positions that complete fee and service activity may vary from when the previous costs were calculated
Personnel and materials costs could have increased at levels that differed from any inflationary factors used to increase fees since the last study
Changes in processes and procedures within a department, or the City as a whole Changes in the demand for services in a City may have also changed the staffing or cost structure of departments over time
City Staff Contributions
As part of the study process, Willdan received tremendous support and cooperation from City staff, which contributed and reviewed a variety of components to the study, including:
Budget and other cost data
Staffing structures
Fee and service structures, organization, and descriptions Direct work hours (billable/non-billable)
Time estimates to complete work tasks
Review of draft results and other documentation
A User Fee Study requires significant involvement of the managers and line staff from the departments on top of their existing workloads and competing priorities. The contributions from City staff were critical to this study. We would like to express our appreciation to the City and its staff for their assistance, professionalism, positive attitudes, helpful suggestions, responsiveness, and overall cooperation.

Norco User Fees
Cost Recovery
The cost recovery models, by department/division fee type, are presented in detail in Appendix C. Full cost recovery is determined by summing the estimated amount of time each position (in increments of minutes or hours) spends to render a service. Time estimates for each service rendered were obtained through interviews conducted with City staff for each department/division fee included in the study. The resulting cost recovery amount represents the total cost of providing each service. The City’s current fee being charged for each service, if applicable, is provided in this section, as well, for reference.
It is important to note that the time data used to determine the amount of time each employee spends assisting in the provision of the services listed on the fee schedule is essential in identifying the total cost of providing each service and will differ from City to City depending on staffing, positions involved, experience of staff, the use of consultants, and the policies and procedures in place for each City.
Specifically, in providing services, a number of employees are often involved in various aspects of the process, spending anywhere from a few minutes to several hours on the service.
The primary goal of this study was to identify the cost of City services, to provide information to help the City make informed decisions regarding the actual fee levels and charges. The responsibility of determining the final fee levels is a complicated task. City staff must consider many issues in formulating recommendations, and the City Council must consider those same issues and more in making the final decisions.
City staff assumes the responsibility to develop specific fee level recommendations to present to the City Council. Unfortunately, there are no hard and fast rules to guide the City, since many of the considerations are based on the unique characteristics of the City of Norco, and administrative and political discretion.
However, in setting the level of full cost recovery for each fee, one should consider whether the service solely benefits one end user or the general community.
Subsidization
Recalling the definition of a user fee helps guide decisions regarding subsidization. The general standard is that individuals (or groups) who receive a wholly private benefit should pay 100% of the full cost of the services. In contrast, services that are simply public benefit should be funded entirely by the general fund’s tax dollars. Unfortunately, for the decision makers, some services fall into the range between these two extremes.
Further complicating the decision, opponents of fees often assert that the activities subject to the fees provide economic, cultural, “quality of life,” or other community benefits that exceed the costs to the City, but it is important to distinguish the difference between any purported possible benefits that may be conveyed through the result of activities of the service receiver and the direct benefit being conveyed through the City providing the service to the requestor.
It is recommended the City consider such factors during its deliberations regarding appropriate fee levels.
DRAFT
11 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Of course, subsidization can be an effective public policy tool since it can be used to reduce fees to encourage certain activities (such as to ensure public safety) or allow some people to be able to afford to receive services they otherwise could not at the full cost. In addition, subsidies can be an appropriate and justifiable action, such as to allow citizens to rightfully access services, without overburdensome costs.
Despite the intent, it is important for the City and public to understand that subsidies must be covered by another revenue source, typically the General Fund’s other unrestricted funds.
Impact on Demand (Elasticity)
Economic principles of elasticity suggest that increased costs for services (higher fees) will eventually curtail the demand for the services; whereas lower fees may spark an incentive to utilize the services and encourage certain actions. Either of these conditions may be a desirable effect to the City. However, the level of the fees that would cause demand changes is largely unknown. The cost of service study did not attempt to evaluate the economic or behavioral impacts of higher or lower fees; nevertheless, the City should consider the potential impacts of these issues when deciding on fee levels.
Summary
City staff is recommending setting user fees at suggested fee amounts as detailed in Appendix C. City and departmental goals, City Council priorities, policy initiatives, past performance, implementation issues, and other internal and external factors should influence staff recommendations and City Council decisions. In this case, the proper identification of additional services (new or existing services) and the update to a consistent and comprehensive fee schedule were the primary objectives of this study. City staff has reviewed the full costs and identified the recommended fee levels for consideration by City Council.
The following sections provide background for each department, division, and fee group and the results of this study’s analysis of their fees. For the full list of each fee’s analysis, refer to Appendix C of this report.

12 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Building & Safety
The Building and Safety Division operates under the direction of the Building Official, with two Community Development Technicians and one Building Inspector. This Division is responsible for the administration of the health and safety related codes from the California Building Code. The primary purpose of the Building and Safety Division is to insure the safety, health and accessibility of citizens in the built environment. To ensure this compliance, the Building Division permits new and remodel construction providing plan check services, permitting services, construction inspections, final building inspections, certificate of occupancy inspections, and enforcement on the provisions of the Code for unsafe conditions. The Building Division coordinates the review of building plans with the Fire, Engineering and Planning Divisions, as well as with County and State agencies when necessary.
Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with the Building and Safety Division. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.
The analysis of the Building and Safety services relied primarily upon a standard unit cost build-up approach for fees, whereby the reasonable cost of each fee occurrence was determined using staff time involved with providing the service to recover the direct cost of staff and the pro-rata share of departmental costs, including indirect costs for City Central Services. Willdan then compared the calculated full cost against the current fee amount to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that fees are currently not in line with the updated full cost of providing services. Staff is recommending the fees be adjusted as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
An increase to 22 fees;
3 fees would decrease;
1 fee would change from actual cost to a flat fee;
27 fees would remain as currently set, and;
the average fee change would be an increase of 16% for current fees.
In addition to the above referenced fees listed under Building, the Building Permit fees are also provided by this division. For the Building Permit fees, valuation is used as a proxy for measuring the effort needed to provide services on a case-by-case basis. This method is an industry standard widely used by other jurisdictions to evaluate the cost of providing service. It is generally understood that the larger and more complex a project is, the more time and effort that is required to provide the service. Project valuation also follows that trend. By using a combination of either project valuation or historical revenue figures along with a multiplier or cost recovery analysis for historical and anticipated future trends, current cost recovery along with variability in charges due to project type and scale is determined. The result of the cost analysis completed for the Building Permit program found that the program is currently operating at 48% cost recovery based on activity level from fiscal year 2022-2025. Staff is recommending that the Building Permit table multiplier be increased to full cost recovery.

City Clerk
The City Clerk serves under the direction of the City Manager. The City Clerk serves as the City’s election official, as the neutral liaison between citizens and government, and as custodian of all official records for the City of Norco ensuring the preservation of the City’s legislative history.

Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with the City Clerk. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.
The services listed under City Clerk services consist of a few flat cost-based fees and others set by the State.
The analysis of the cost-based services relied upon a standard unit cost build-up approach, whereby we determined the reasonable cost of each fee occurrence using staff time to recover the direct cost of staff and the pro-rata share of departmental costs, including indirect costs for City central services. Willdan then compared the calculated full cost against the current fee amount to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that current fees are not in line with the full cost of providing service. Staff is recommending the fees remain as currently set as detailed in Appendix C.

Code Enforcement
The Code Compliance Division operates under the direction of the Community Development Director. Code Compliance is responsible for enforcing the Norco Municipal Code, including but not limited to, regulations of the California Building Code (CBC) and International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC); weed, graffiti and abandoned vehicle abatement; business license and commercial vehicle compliance enforcement; grading and excavation requirements and land use regulations. Compliance officers work closely with all internal departments as well as with Sheriff, Fire and Animal Control to support joint inspections and resource sharing, in an effort to further a coordinated City effort in pursuit of Code compliance.
Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with the Code Enforcement Division. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.
All the fees listed under Code Enforcement fees are fines to set to deter the listed activities and are not otherwise recommended to be changed. One new fee, Code Enforcement Lien Additional And Removal, will be added and set at fully burdened rate plus any required County Fees.

15 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Communications
The Communications Division develops and implements a comprehensive and focused communications strategy, coordinates community outreach opportunities, manages special events, produces multimedia content, and develops policies and procedures that protect City assets and centralize communication throughout the organization. The Communications Division also oversees the Community Outreach Program, Merchandise Program, Military Banner Program, Observance Program, Sixth Street Gateway Sign Advertising Program, and the Trademark and Licensing Program.
Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with the Communications Division. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.
The analysis of the Communications services relied primarily upon a standard unit cost build-up approach for fees, whereby the reasonable cost of each fee occurrence was determined using staff time involved with providing the service to recover the direct cost of staff and the pro-rata share of departmental costs, including indirect costs for City Central Services. Willdan then compared the calculated full cost against the current fee amount to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that fees are currently just below the full cost of providing services. Staff is recommending the fees be adjusted as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
An increase to 41 fees;
7 fees would remain as currently set, and;
the average fee change would be an increase of 7% for current fees.

16 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Community Services
The Community Services Department provides a variety of special community events and recreational classes throughout the year, along with operating sports programs, a gymnasium, a full-service senior center, and a playschool program. As an equestrian community, the Animal Services division establishes standards for the care and health of animals; provides a safe haven animal shelter; sponsors adoption and placement of animals; and enforces laws to protect the well-being of all animals in the community. The Animal Shelter cares for more than 1,400 impounded animals annually.
Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with the Community Services Department. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.
The analysis of most Community Services programs encompassed facility rentals, sports, programs, and other community services. The fee for use for government owned facilities and property can be set discretionally by the City, typically based on past usage characteristics, policy goals, and surrounding jurisdiction comparison. The cost of capital acquisition, maintenance, repair, and upgrade to the City and subsequently the public is offset through rental or use fees. As such these fees should be set using the knowledge of activity use for the facilities, policy desires of the City, and market factors when desirable. It is generally accepted that some Recreation programs provide a measure of public benefit to the residents and City as a whole, and as such is it common for services to bear significant subsidies. In addition, cities generally want to ensure that their programs and services remain affordable to the community at large, and that the programs remain competitive with surrounding jurisdictions. For most fees in Community Services a standard cost of service approach was used, but some of the additional cost considerations above were not included as this is primarily an operational cost analysis study that does not include considerations for capital. The analysis found that the current fees for facility use and services are below the cost of providing them. The analysis also included a cost recovery analysis for Community Services as a whole and it was determined to be operating at around 30% cost recovery. The suggested fees detailed in Appendix C. would result in:
An increase for 24 fees;
4 new fees will be added;
1 fee would decrease, and;
23 fees would remain as currently set, and;
the average fee change would be an increase of 18%.

17 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Animal Control
The City of Norco Animal Control Shelter houses stray animals, offers pet adoption services and is devoted to reuniting lost pets with their owners.
Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with the Animal Control. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.
The analysis of the Animal Control services relied primarily upon a standard unit cost build-up approach for fees, excluding penalties, whereby the reasonable cost of each fee occurrence was determined using staff time involved with providing the service to recover the direct cost of staff and the pro-rata share of departmental costs, including indirect costs for City Central Services. Willdan then compared the calculated full cost against the current fee amount to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that fees are currently not in line with the updated full cost of providing services. A program cost analysis was also completed to determine historical cost recovery based on provided services. The analysis found that the Animal Control currently has a cost recovery level of 27%. Staff is recommending that the fees be adjusted as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
An increase to the 30 fees;
4 new fees will be added;
All other fees would remain as currently set, and;
the average fee change would be an increase of 20%.

The services listed under Finance services consist of reproduction, collection fee, penalties, livescan , yard sale permit, and the returned check fee set by the State. The analysis of a few of the fees relied upon a standard unit cost build-up approach, whereby we determined the reasonable cost of each fee occurrence using staff time to recover the direct cost of staff and the pro-rata share of departmental costs, including indirect costs for City central services. Willdan then compared the calculated full cost against the current fee amount to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that fees are currently not in line with the updated full cost of providing services. The only changes recommended is to align the returned check fee with Government Code 1719, add a new Credit Card Processing Fee of 2%, and all other fees would remain as currently set as detailed in Appendix C.

Appendix B –Fully Burdened Hourly Rates
Below are fully burdened hourly rates of staff positions that provide for the services detailed in Appendix C. The FBHRs were used to determine the full cost of each service. They include the salary and benefit costs for each position as well as all applicable overhead amounts for each position. When a central service department position works on a fee or project in the purview of an operating department, the overhead rates of the operating department (shown in Appendix A) will be applied to that central service positions’ salary and benefit rate for full cost recovery since indirect overhead cost only applies to non-central service functions of the City. For any user fee service request that is outside the scope of the fees detailed in Appendix C, or for services for which there is no fee currently set, the City can charge up to the full cost of the FBHR for personnel involved.

Appendix C – Cost Recovery Analysis
The following tables provide the results of the analysis, resulting full cost recovery amount, and recommended fees. For fees, services, and penalties in which the full cost, existing fee, and suggested fee is listed as “NA”, the amount or percentage was not calculable. This is most common when either the current or the suggested fee includes a variable component that is not comparable on a one-to-one basis, a full cost was not calculated (for penalties, fines, market-based fees, or items not included in the study), or when there is not a current fee amount to compare against.

STAFF REPORT
Date: August 6, 2025 Agenda Item:
3.C.
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Joshua Calhoun, Finance Director
Prepared By: Joshua Calhoun, Finance Director
Department: Finance
SUBJECT:
Quarterly Investment Report for Quarter Ended June 30, 2025 RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file the Quarterly Investment Report for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2025.
SUMMARY:
This report has been prepared to meet the requirements of the City’s Investment Policy and applicable sections of the State of California Government Code.
BACKGROUND:
Attachment A provides a summary schedule of the City’s operating portfolio holdings by type as of June 30, 2025. This summary also provides information on investment compliance with the limitations imposed by State law and the City’s Investment Policy.
Investments that are subject to the Statement of Investment Policy are operating or idle funds invested by the Treasurer within the provisions of the approved Investment Policy.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the operating portfolio increased by a net amount of $9.7 million from $94.9 million to $104.5 million.
The excess of cash receipts over cash disbursements was anticipated during the quarter as revenue receipts during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year usually exceeds disbursements for expenditures. This is due to receipt of vehicle license fees, utility franchise fees, second installment of property taxes for the City and special districts, and receipt for Successor Agency debt service payments. The Successor Agency property tax received will be used for Successor Agency debt service payments in August. In comparing the current quarter to last year’s quarter, the current year operating portfolio increased mainly by the Successor Agency, Water Fund, Storm Drain Fund and Special Districts.
A summary of investments not subject to the provisions of the Investment Policy (bond proceeds and debt service reserve funds) is also shown on Attachment A. These funds are invested in accordance with applicable bond indenture provisions. During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, bond proceeds and debt service reserve fund portfolio decreased by a net amount of $0.7 million from $7.7 million to $7.0 million due to debt service payments on Enterprise Revenue Bonds.
Attachment B provides a graphical breakdown of the operating portfolio holdings by investment type as of June 30, 2025. This chart is for investments that are subject to the Investment Policy. The operating portfolio consisted of 25.58% investment in the State of California Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), 36.72% California Asset Management Plan (CAMP), 24.07% in Agency Securities and the remaining 13.63% in cash.
Attachment C provides a detailed listing of the City’s portfolio holdings as required by the Government Code. In this listing, “N/A” is used to denote that the information is either not available or applicable. Agency Securities issued by United States Government Sponsored Entities (GSEs) are rated “AA+” by Moody’s rating service and “AAA” by Fitch rating service. Attachment D indicates cash balances by Fund as additional information to complement the schedule of investment holdings. For the Operating Funds, the cash balance provides an indication of the financial health of each Fund.
Attachment D indicates cash balances by Fund as additional information to complement the schedule of investment holdings. For the Operating Funds, the cash balance provides an indication of the financial health of each Fund.
Attachment E: Based on cash balances as of June 30, 2025, and anticipated cash receipts for the next six months, the Treasurer certifies that there will be sufficient cash to cover disbursements for the City and Successor Agency for the next six months ending December 31, 2025.

Amendment of Fiscal Year 2026-30 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to include additional funding for the On-Call Street Maintenance Services; and accept the proposal and Award of Performance Services Contract for On-Call Street Maintenance Services RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2025-55 to increase Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-30 CIP street funding in the amount of $100,000 for the On-Call Street Maintenance Service contract; accept the proposals submitted for performance services to provide Annual On-Call Street Maintenance Services, award a three-year contract to Hardy & Harper, Inc., and authorize the Mayor to execute the contract in the amount not-to-exceed $300,000 annually.
SUMMARY:
A request for proposal was opened July 10, 2025, with five bidders submitting proposals for the Annual On-Call Street Maintenance Services. Each of the proposals were evaluated and rated to determine the best qualified proposal to meet the City's needs with Hardy & Harper, Inc. being rated as the most qualified proposer.
BACKGROUND:
Staff completed a Request for Proposal (RFP) for bidding purposes and on July 10, 2025, five (5) proposals were received from CJ Concrete Construction, Inc., G.M. Sager Construction, Inc., Gentry General Engineering, Inc., Hardy & Harper, Inc. and We R Builders, Inc. the RFP calls for furnishing, on an "as-needed" basis, all labor, materials, tools, equipment, appurtenances and incidentals for saw cutting, grinding, removal & replacement of various concrete including: sidewalks, curbs, gutters, cross gutters, driveways, handicapped ramps, etc. Work shall also include removal and replacement of asphalt concrete, aggregate base, minor asphalt repairs, reconstruction, overlaying, slurry and sealing of asphalt concrete streets and raising manhole and valve cans to grade.
Each of the proposals was evaluated and rated to determine the best qualified proposal to meet the City's needs (see attached Bid Summary). Based on staff's review Hardy & Harper, Inc. was rated as the most qualified proposer and their on-call pricing was very competitive (see attached Proposal). Hardy & Harper, Inc. is located in Santa Ana, California and has been providing the City street maintenance services for 41 years.
Hardy & Harper, Inc. has previously been awarded the annual on-call street maintenance contract in the City of Norco and staff has been very satisfied with the services provided.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed service maintenance agreement is funded from portions of the Street Fund 149 ($100,000) and the Water Fund (124.804.34100 - $200,000) for total not-toexceed amount of $300,000 annually. Funding for the proposed maintenance services is included in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Operating Budget within the Water Fund but was inadvertently excluded in the Street Fund. Resolution 2025-55 was prepared to appropriate additional funding for the On-Call Street Maintenance Service Contract in the amount of $100,000.
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:
This item is consistent and supports Strategic Direction No. 5 - Infrastructure & Asset Management: Ensure timely preservation, replacement, improvement and acquisition of infrastructure and capital assets.
