SUBJECT: AMENDMENT NO. 1 - TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT
FOR THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT, HOME
INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAM, HOME AMERICAN RESCUE
PLAN AND NORWALK HOUSING AUTHORITY; AND AUTHORIZATION FOR
TWO ON-CALL AGREEMENTS TO PROVIDE ADMINISTRATIVE
CONSULTANT SERVICES
Background:
On July 16, 2024, City Council approved an agreement with MNS Engineers, Inc. (MNS) to continue their services for the development of the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI). This agreement includes drafting the Five-Year Consolidated Plan (Con Plan) for 2025-2030, the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Norwalk Housing Authority Administrative Plan, and Project Based Voucher (PBV) contracts.
The agreement ensures that MNS will continue to provide the City with administrative services related to CDBG, HOME, and Housing programs, as well as support for the Affordable Housing development projects, such as The Walk and Project Homekey. The department collaborates closely with MNS to ensure that deliverables related to operations and reporting are completed promptly, and in compliance with all federal regulations. MNS will continue to offer guidance and assistance throughout this process to complete all pending tasks.
MNS is currently assisting CDBG with finalizing the Five-Year Con Plan and First Year 2025- 2026 Annual Action Plan, including the AI. The MNS team prepared the City’s current Five-Year 2020-2025 Con Plan. This amendment would further allow them to assist in finalizing the

proposed tasks before the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development’s deadline of May 15, 2025.
The City issued a request for proposals to provide administrative consultant services on September 30, 2024. The proposal due date was October 31, 2024 and two firms (Consultants) submitted proposals. Following is a list of the qualified bidders:
a. MNS Engineers, Inc.
b. Advanced Avant-Garde Corporation
City staff determined that both firms are needed based on their expertise, prior experience, staff augmentation and special projects to provide on-call administrative consultant services to the CDBG and Housing departments.
The Consultants demonstrated the ability to augment City staff, provide needed expertise that will be utilized, as needed, to fulfill specific needs within all CDBG and Housing programs.
Consultants shall provide consulting services on an “on-call” basis for various tasks. There is no minimum or maximum number of task orders to be issued to each Consultant. The City will issue a purchase order for each individual task order based upon agreed-to task order proposals submitted by Consultant. City staff will review individual task order proposals, which will include the scope of services, assigned personnel, work schedule and fees.
Fiscal Impact:
There will be no impact to the General Fund. CDBG, HOME, HOME ARP, and the Norwalk Housing Authority are funded solely by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.

SUBJECT: ADVISORY BODY APPOINTMENTS
Background:
With the exception of the Planning Commission (which is commensurate with the appointing Councilmember’s term) and five members of the Art in Public Places Commission (which is established in the Norwalk Municipal Code), Advisory Body terms are for two years following a City election. Advisory Body terms are from January 1, of odd years to December 31, of even years.
As of December 31, 2024, all positions have expired. However, the Advisory Body resolution extends the terms for 90-days to allow for meetings to continue until City Council re-appoints or makes new appointments to all the Advisory Bodies. At the end of the 90 days, any positions that have not been filled through re-appointment or new appointment, will become vacant. The required notice has been posted which allows for City Council to make appointments beginning this evening.
There are vacancies on several Advisory Bodies: Art in Public Places (4), Community Promotion (2), Historical Heritage (5), International Friendship Commission (3), Public Safety (1), Social Services (2), and the Youth Commission (all 15). The Youth Commission does not have any members at this time. The age range for the Youth Commission is between 13 to 18 years of age. Each City Councilmember has three appointments.
Two of the vacancies on the Art in Public Places Committee are appointed based on Norwalk Municipal Code §15.44.060, and require consensus of the entire City Council. Any Councilmember may nominate an individual who falls into one of the two categories:
Business/Community College Representative and at-large Community Representative.

SUBJECT: DIRECTION FOR THE 2025 CONSOLIDATED PLAN AND FISCAL YEAR 2025- 26 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN
Background:
The City receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). As a recipient of these funds, the City is required to submit a Consolidated Plan (ConPlan) and Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) every five years, and an Annual Action Plan (AAP) each year. The ConPlan outlines the City’s housing, infrastructure, economic development and social service needs along with the program and activities planned to address those needs. The AAP details the specific activities that will be implemented during the fiscal year, the funds allocated to each activity, and the anticipated outcomes or accomplishments.
The City’s next Five-year ConPlan covers the period of July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2029 and the AAP will cover the first Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26. A critical part of the ConPlan process is the identification of needs through community participation. Before drafting the ConPlan, the AAP, and releasing the annual social service agency funding applications, the needs of the community, priorities, and possible initiatives are being presented to City Council for policy direction.
The purpose of this report is to give City Council an opportunity to review the proposed activities for the FY 2025-26 AAP. After the public review period ends, new activities cannot be added to the AAP without triggering another 30-day public review period and a separate public hearing.

Program Objectives and Use of Funds
The primary objective of the CDBG program is the development of viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities for persons of low and moderate income. Under certain circumstances an activity may qualify if it eliminates blighted conditions or alleviates an urgent need, such as conditions caused by a natural disaster. HUD requires that CDBG and HOME funds be allocated to projects that meet the National Objectives of providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities.
The HOME program objective is to increase the availability and accessibility of affordable housing for low income households. While HOME funds may only be used for housing related activities, CDBG funds may be used for a variety of community development activities, such as rehabilitation of housing and commercial buildings, infrastructure improvements, and certain services, such as counseling and job training. Funds may be used to directly benefit a household that meets the income limitations, such as repairing a specific home. Additionally, they can be used for public improvements to benefit areas that are located in a census tract where at least 51% of the households are deemed low to moderate income. In addition to meeting these general requirements, CDBG and HOME activities must comply with the regulations found in chapter 24, part 92 and 570 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
The 2020-2025 ConPlan outlined the following goals:
• Provide decent affordable housing
• Maintain and promote neighborhood preservation
• Support special needs programs and services
• Construct or upgrade public facilities and infrastructure • Attract and retain job generating businesses
Over the past five years, the following activities have been implemented:
• Public facility/infrastructure improvements, including ADA ramps for public sidewalks and local street rehabilitation
• Residential Rehabilitation (CDBG)
• Social Service Agency Funding
• Job Training Program
• Emergency Assistance Program
• Security Deposit Assistance
• Commercial Façade Improvements
• Affordable Rental Housing (Community Housing Development Organization) • First Time Homebuyer Program
• Rental Rehabilitation Program (HOME)
• Fair Housing Program
• CDBG And HOME Program Administration
City Council March 4, 2025
Direction for the 2025 Consolidated Plan Page No. 3

Programs established in the AAP should be consistent with the goals and priorities described in the City’s ConPlan. The following priorities have been identified in the City’s 2025-2030 ConPlan:
• Provide decent affordable housing
• Support special need services
• Infrastructure improvements
• Create public awareness of fair housing laws
• Job business creation and job training
• Homeless prevention programs and services
• Neighborhood preservation
Funding and Proposed Activities for the Annual Action Plan The types of activities that the City may conduct are subject to federal rules and regulations, such as funding caps on program administration and social services, requirements for public- private partnerships, and compliance with National Objectives. HUD publishes the CDBG and HOME grantee allocations by mid-March. For FY 2024-25 the City received $977,097 in CDBG funds and $240,414 in HOME funds. The City anticipates a reduction in funding for FY 2025-
26. The City will allocate CDBG and HOME program income and carryover funds from prior years to the FY 2025-26 funding.
The ConPlan explains how the City will utilize these monies to improve community development needs, address affordable housing, and establish priorities for people experiencing homelessness. The AAP establishes strategies for the next program year and identifies specific projects and activities that will be funded with CDBG and HOME funds received from HUD. Due to funding limitations, not all of the priorities listed above can be funded in the first year of the ConPlan.
To support the priorities listed above, staff recommend funding the following activities in FY 2025-26:
PROJECTS / ACTIVITIES FUNDED BY CDBG Estimated /
Recommended Funding
Program Administration – CDBG (20% cap) $182,419
Fair Housing – CDBG (20% cap) $13,000

Public services funding has been distributed to various Social Service Agencies and the Emergency Assistance Program administered by the Social Services Department in previous years.
On November 8, 2024, the availability of CDBG funds was announced to 51 local non-profit agencies. Nine applications for CDBG funding were received by the deadline of December 13, 2024. The Social Services Commission reviewed and discussed the applications. Based on their evaluation, the Commission and Social Services Director are making the following recommendations for City Council consideration. The recommendations are based upon an estimated allocation of $135,000.

SUBJECT: UPDATING AND ESTABLISHING USER AND REGULATORY FEES Background:
The City's User and Regulatory Fee Schedule identifies fees and charges for services provided at the request of, or on behalf of, a single party as opposed to the public at large. The fee schedule is intended to be reviewed annually, with staff conducting periodic studies to identify the City’s costs of providing fee-related services. User and regulatory fees are set at the direction of City Council at the conclusion of a public hearing to consider adoption of any new fees or adjustments to existing fees.
The proposed fee schedule is based on the results of a recently completed user and regulatory fee study. The study provides an up-to-date analysis of the City’s current costs of providing fee- related services. This information can be used by City Council as it considers potential updates to fees.
The services for which a city imposes a user or regulatory fee typically derive from an individual person or entity’s action, request, or behavior. Therefore, except in cases where there is an overwhelming public benefit generated by a city’s involvement in the individual action, a fee for service ensures that the individual bears most, if not all, of the cost incurred by the City to provide that service. When a fee targets “100% or full cost recovery,” the individual bears the entirety of the cost. When a fee targets less than full cost recovery, another City revenue source – in most cases, the General Fund – subsidizes the individualized activity.
Industry best practices and California statutes are in harmony: User and regulatory fees should be set according to the estimated reasonable cost of service and should bear a fair and

reasonable relationship to the payer’s burdens on or benefits received from the activities and/or services provided by the City. Additionally, ongoing review and adjustment of fees provides multiple benefits, including:
•Increasing the availability of General Fund revenues to be used for services and activities available to all residents and businesses, such as public safety and parks services. •Keeping pace with general cost inflation.
•Avoiding fee spikes that are more likely to occur when municipalities leave fees unchanged for a multi-year period.
•Providing fee payers, City Staff, and City policymakers with a pattern of consistency that provides information for forecasting and decision-making purposes. •Helps meet fee-payer service level expectations by collecting fees to fund the existing level of services provided.
•Encouraging generational equity among fee payers by avoiding long-term stagnation of fees followed by significant fee increases.
Attachment 1 of this report includes the fee schedule proposed for adoption.
Attachment 2 of this report provides an illustration of current and proposed fees.
Attachment 3 of this report includes the user and regulatory fee study.
The following are primary outcomes and proposals that may be of particular interest to City Council as it considers fee adjustments:
Building Fees
•Building plan review, permit processing, and field inspection fees have been restructured to enhance the correlation between services provided and fees collected. The proposed fee methodology scales to allow for lower fees for less complex projects and higher fees for more complex projects.
•Establish fixed, consolidated fees for the City’s most common minor permits. This will allow applicants to easily estimate permit fees and allow staff to efficiently administer the fee calculation and collection process.
•Full cost recovery is targeted from proposed fees.
Planning Fees
•Due to the nature of development within California, many projects take a significant amount of resources over a multi-month and potentially multi-year timeframe, depending on project complexity and magnitude.
•Full cost recovery is targeted from most proposed fees due to the regulatory nature of the fees and the high level of direct benefit resulting from construction activities including enjoyment of property enhancements, increased property values, and the desire to avoid having other residents and businesses subsidize an individual's private construction activities.
•Current cost recovery varies widely depending on the fee examined (10% - 90%).

Engineering Fees
•Engineering and encroachment permit fees are collected to recover the costs associated with improvement plan review, permitting, and construction inspection along with review and inspection of work conducted within the City right-of-way. •Full cost recovery is targeted from proposed fees.
Recreation and Social Services Fees
•Minor inflationary adjustments are proposed for recreation and social services fees. The City’s costs of providing recreation and social services will continue to be largely supported by the City’s General Fund.
•Staff have proposed restructuring reserved facility use fees to allow for differing rental rates for the following user groups: residential; non-residential; non-profit; commercial.
Fee Comparison
•Similar fees are collected by communities throughout the region and the State. •The proposed fee amounts do not exceed the City’s cost of service and will remain within the range of amounts charged by other jurisdictions in the area. •The City, consistent with other cities throughout the State, has an existing fee schedule that contemplates hundreds of potential unique requests for service. This can result in thousands of fee scenarios when comparing among multiple agencies. Consequently, an exhaustive comparison of the hundreds, and potentially thousands of scenarios is unrealistic. Instead, comparison information for several targeted fee categories (e.g., high volume categories, fee categories of particular interest to community, etc.) are provided in order to provide City Council with a reasonable sense of changes expected. •For Norwalk, depending on the fee examined, outcomes will show that new fees may range from lower, to mid, to the upper end of the regional fee spectrum depending on the service provided. This is common among municipalities due to differing levels of service and review included among various fee categories.
Included in the following pages are comparisons of the City’s current and proposed fees with neighboring and surrounding cities in the region.

It is anticipated that costs will 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 once updated fees are established, they are updated annually. A most commonly used factor to determine updated fees annually is the Consumer Price Index, which is a well-known and accepted methodology to reflect changes in costs.
Fiscal Impact:
The anticipated General Fund fiscal impact of the proposed fee changes is approximately $1,410,000 in additional cost recovery for fee-related services.
Although the changes are anticipated to provide additional revenue, the revenue is not intended to be used to fund new services, rather the revenue is intended to be used to offset the costs of providing existing services that are recoverable from fees.
Citizens Advised:
The City will hold a Public Hearing as directed by the City Council whereby notice of the public hearing will be completed in accordance with California Government Code § 66016. $14,249

Determination of Valuation for Fee-Setting Purposes
● Project valuations shall be based on the total value of all construction work, including all finish work, roofing, electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, elevators, fire-extinguishing systems and any other permanent equipment. If, in the opinion of the Building Official, the valuation is underestimated on the application, the permit shall be denied, unless the applicant can show detailed estimates to meet the approval of the Building Official. Final building permit valuation shall be set by the Building Official. For determining project valuations for new construction, and improvements to existing construction, the Building Official may use data published by the International Code Council (ICC) (building valuation data table, typically updated in February and August of each year) and/or data published by Marshall Swift Valuation Service. The final building permit valuation shall be set at an amount that allows the City to recover its costs of applicant plan check, permit and inspection activities.
Note: For construction projects with permit fees calculated using Section B, additional fees apply for permit issuance. Additional fees may apply for services provided by other City Departments (e.g. Planning Review), and Fees Collected on Behalf of Other Agencies (e.g. State of California). Additional fees apply for plan review, when applicable.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
STUDY OVERVIEW
The City of Norwalk has completed a User and Regulatory Fee Study. California cities regularly conduct these studies to justify fee amounts imposed and to optimize the overall portfolio of revenues available to the municipality to fund its services.
Industry practice and fiscal conditions in the state have led most cities to link cost recovery for services of individual action, cause, or benefit to that same individual through user fee revenue, relieving the agency’s general revenues as much as possible for use toward services of broader community benefit.
USER AND REGULATORY FEES
Cities derive annual revenue from a number of sources. These include, but are not limited to, property taxes, sales taxes, license fees, franchise fees, fines, rents, and user and regulatory fees. User and regulatory fees are intended to cover all, or a portion of, the costs incurred by the City for providing fee -related services an d ac tivities that are not otherwise provided to those not paying th e fee .
California law provides guidance regarding the amounts the City may charge for fee-related services and activities. Specifically, in order to avoid being considered taxes, the fees ch arged shall not exceed th e estim ated reasonable c ost of providing th e services , activities, or materials for which fees are charged.
At its conclusion, this study proposes for City Council review and consideration at public hearing a new Schedule of User Fees an d Charges for application in Fiscal Year 2025-2026 and continued update in subsequent years.
COST RECOVERY POLICY AND PRACTICE
Recovering the costs of providing fee-related services directly influences the City’s fiscal health and increases the City’s ability to meet the service level expectations of fee payers.
The services for which the City imposes a user or regulatory fee typically derive from an individual person or entity’s action, request, or behavior. Therefore, except in cases where there is an overwhelming public benefit generated by the City’s involveme nt in the individual action, a fee for servic e en sures that th e individual bears m ost, if not all, of the cost incurred by the City to provide that servic e . When a fee targets “100% or full cost recovery,” the individual is bearing the entirety of the cost. When a fee targets less than full cost recovery, another City revenue source – in most cases, the General Fund – subsidizes the individualized activity.
Generally, fees for service are targeted to full cost rec overy, inclusive of operating, direct, indirec t, and c apital costs, exc ept in cases wh ere the City Counc il cites a public interest in lower fees . The City may also be influenced by market conditions, comparing to municipalities of similar size and service profile.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
FINDINGS AND PROPOSED ACTION
During the course of study, information and analysis was generated and is discussed substantively throughout this report and its technical appendices. However, summarized in the following table by broad fee category and highlighted in the subsequent findings statements, are outcomes and proposals of particular interest to City leaders and policymakers.
PRIMARY OUTCOMES
BUILDIN G F EES
• Building plan review, permit processing and field inspection fees have been restructured to enhance the correlation between services provided and fees collected. The proposed fee methodology scales to allow for lower fees for less complex projects and higher fees for more complex projects.
• Establish fixed, consolidated fees for the City’s most common minor permits. This will allow applicants to easily estimate permit fees and allow staff to efficiently administer the fee calculation and collection process.
• Full cost recovery is targeted from proposed fees.
PLANNING F EES
• Due to the nature of development within California, many projects take a significant amount of resources over a multi-month and potentially multi-year timeframe, depending on project complexity and magnitude.
• Full cost recovery is targeted from most proposed fees due to the regulatory nature of the fees and the high level of direct benefit resulting from construction activities including enjoyment of property enhancements, increased property values, and the des ire to avoid having other residents and businesses subsidize an individual's private construction activities.
• Current cost recovery varies widely depending on the fee examined (10% - 90%).
ENGINEERIN G F EES
• Engineering and encroachment permit fees are collected to recover the costs associated with improvement plan review, permitting, and construction inspection along with review and inspection of work conducted within the City right-of-way. • Full cost recovery is targeted from proposed fees.
RECREATION AND SOCIAL SER VICES F EES
• Minor, inflationary, adjustments are proposed for recreation and social services fees. The City’s costs of providing recreation and social services will continue to be largely supported by the City’s General Fund.
• Staff have proposed restructuring reserved facility use fees to allow for differing rental rates for the following user groups: residential; non-residential; non-profit; commercial.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
FEE COMPARISON
Similar fees are collected by communities throughout the region and the State. The proposed fee amounts do not exceed the City’s cost of service and will remain within the range of amounts charged by other jurisdictions in the area. Regional fee comparison information is included in Appendix I of this report.
FISCAL IMPACT
The anticipated General Fund fiscal impact of the proposed fee changes is approximately $1,410,000 in additional cost recovery for fee-related services.

PROJECT ORIENTATION
REASON FOR STUDY
Cities derive annual revenue from a number of sources. These include, but are not limited to, property taxes, sales taxes, franchise fees, fines, rents, and user and regulatory fees. User and regulatory fees are intended to cover all, or a portion of, the costs incurred by a City for providing fee-related services and activities that are not otherwise provided to those not paying the fee.
California cities regularly conduct fee studies to justify fee amounts imposed and to optimize the overall body of revenues available to the municipality to fund its services. Widespread industry practice and fiscal conditions in the state have led most cities to link cost recovery for services of individual action, cause, or benefit to that individual through user fee revenue, relieving the agency’s general revenues for services of broader community benefit.
PREVAILING GUIDANCE
The objectives of this study, the methodology used to complete the study, and the formulation of outcomes and recommendations for future consideration were significantly influenced by Article 13C of the California Constitution and Section 66014 of the California Government Code.
Article 13C states that the local government bears the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a levy, charge, or other exaction is not a tax, that the amount is no more than necessary to cover the reasonable costs of the governmental activity, and that the manner in which those costs are allocated to a payer bear a fair or reasonable relationship to the payer’s burdens on, or benefits received from, the governmental activity. Additionally, Article 13C identifies the following as items that are not defined as taxes:
A charge imposed for a specific benefit conferred or privilege granted directly to the payer that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of conferring the benefit or granting the privilege. A charge imposed for a specific government service or product provided directly to the payer that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of providing the service or product. A charge imposed for the reasonable regulatory costs to a local government for issuing licenses and permits, performing investigations, inspections, and audits, enforcing agricultural marketing orders, and the administrative enforcement and adjudication th ereof. A charge imposed for entrance to or use of local government property, or the purchase, rental, or lease of local government property.
A fine, penalty, or other monetary charge imposed by the judicial branch of government or a local government, as a result of a violation of law.
A charge imposed as a condition of property development. Assessments and property-related fees imposed in accordance with the provisions of Article XIII D.
Section 66014(a) of the California Government Code includes the following, “Notwithstanding any other provision of law, when a local agency charges fees for zoning variances; zoning changes; use permits; building inspections; building permits; …the process ing of maps under the provisions of the CLE A RS OU RCE RE PORT T O T H E CI T Y OF N O RW A LK | 7
PROJECT ORIENTATION
Subdivision Map Act…; or planning services…; those fees may not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee is charged, unless a question regarding the amount of the fee charged in excess of the estimated reasonable cost of providing the services or materials is submitted to, and approved by, a popular vote of two-thirds of those electors voting on the issue.
The outcomes and recommendations of the study are intended to comply with applicable federal, state, and local laws including providing confirmation that the proposed fees (“charges”) recommended as a result of this study are not taxes as defined in Articl e 13C of the California Constitution and that the proposed fees are no more than necessary to the cover the reasonable costs of the City’s activities and services addressed in the fees. Additionally, this report is intended to show that the manner in whic h the costs are allocated to a payer bear a fair and reasonable relationship to the payer’s burdens on, or benefits received from the activities and services provided by the City.
METHODOLOGY AND DATA SOURCES
This study calculated the estimated reasonable cost of providing various fee -related services across the City organization. Generally, the estimated reasonable cost of providing the fee-related services and activities examined in this study can be calculated as the product of the composite fully-burdened hourly labor rate of the division responsible for providin g services and the estimated labor time required to process a typical request for service.
The composite fully-burdened hourly rates calculated in this study are based on the estimated annual hours spent providing fee related services, and estimated labor, services and supplies, and Citywide overhead expenditures, sourced as follows:
Labor expenditures for in -house personnel were based on budgeted salary and benefits expenditures.
Contract service personnel and other services and supplies related costs were based on Fiscal Year 2024/25 adopted budgets and anticipated costs. Citywide overhead cost allocations were developed to assign a reasonable share of central service support to the City’s direct service units.
Estimated labor time spent providing fee related services were developed based on interviews with City staff and are in-line with typical direct service ratios experienced by the consultant via studies of similar municipalities throughout California. Commonly used industry data also aided in the development of time estimates and proposed fee structures.
Once cost of service levels are identified, the City may use this information to inform targeted cost recovery from fees. Fees set at the cost of service target full cost recovery. Fees set at any amount less than the cost of service target less than full cost recovery.
An illustration of the methods used in this analysis is shown in Exhibit 1.

IMPLEMENTATION
CONSIDERATIONS FOR IMPLEMENTATION
If the City decides to adopt or otherwise utilize outcomes generated through this study, it should:
Update Systems for Fee Outcom es - Ensure that City staff begin using updated fees and associated outcomes once the updated schedule of fees becomes effective. Values should be included in all official fee schedules used throughout the City (e.g., departmental pamphlets, counter schedules, and online information). Additionally, ensure collections processes are updated, which may include coding in billing systems and training for personnel who handle fees directly with the public.
Actively M onitor th e Use of F ees - In order to recover accurate and eligible amounts expected, the City should be diligent about tracking time to projects for time and materials billings and ensuring fees are applied in the correct amount and using the correct and intended basis for fixed fee billings.
Monitor F eedback and Perm it Statistics - Monitor permit and application volume and applicant feedback to determine if fee modifications are resulting in any unanticipated changes in project frequency and to increase the level of detail available for revenue forecasting.
Annually R eview an d Adjust F ee Values - In order to generally maintain pace with regional cost inflation and/or the City's salary cost inflation, the City should adjust its fees on an annual basis. A commonly used, reasonable inflation index is the annual change in the all-urban Consumer Price Index (CPI) representative of the region. Periodic ally Perform Comprehen sive An alysis - A comprehensive fee study should be conducted periodically (e.g., every three to five years) to ensure fee levels remain at or below legal limits and are consistent with evolving service practices and local conditions.
APPENDIX I
FEE COMPARISON
Similar fees are collected by communities throughout the region and the State. The proposed fee amounts do not exceed the City’s cost of service and are in -range of amounts charged by other jurisdictions.
In order to provide the City Council with additional information as it considers potential adjustments to fees, current and proposed fees were compared to amounts collected by other agencies.
The City of Norwalk, consistent with other cities throughout the State, has an existing fee schedule that contemplates hundreds of potential unique requests for service. This can result in thousands of fee scenarios when comparing among multiple agencies. Consequently, an exhaustive comparison of the hundreds, and potentially thousands of scenarios is unrealistic. Instead, comparison information for several targeted fee categories (e.g., high volume categories, fee categories of particular interest to community, etc.) are provided in order to provide City Council with a reasonable sense of changes expected.
For Norwalk, depending on the fee examined, outcomes will show that new fees may range from lower, to mid, to upper end of regional fee spectrum depending on the service provided. This is common among municipalities due to differing levels of service and review included among various fee categories. Amounts shown are intended for illustrative purposes only and are intended to serve as estimates rather than exact amounts. Exact amounts will vary based on project specifications.

[h] Indirect cost base is operating expenses of direct service units. * This represents a conservative indirect cost rate calculation. This estimate was developed for purposes of user and regulatory fee cost of service analysis. As part of day-to-day operations, staff may categorize, assign, or quantify indirect costs using different criteria and methods. [a] Source: FY 24/25 adopted budget; p. 49.
[g] Adjustment to include direct services that are budgeted in indirect units (e.g. animal control contract). [b] Adjustment to exclude amounts allocated to special studies. [c] Adjustment to exclude from allocation to fee-related services since many of the functions within this unit are special project specific. [f] Adjustment to exclude contract services (major contract service is animal control). [d] Adjustment to exclude from Hometown Hero and Council Reorganization expenditures. [e] Adjustment to exclude passport services expenses, capital expenditures, and election expenses.
