Description/Analysis

Issue Detail: On February 7, 2006 (Resolution No. 2006-106), the Council formally adopted a citywide Fees and Charges Policy to ensure that City fees and charges reflect Council’s direction regarding recovery of costs related to providing programs and services. The policy was amended on May 8, 2014, to modify language stating the City will use the State of California Department of Industrial Relations Consumer Price Index (CPI), the same index used by the County Assessor to adjust the annual property tax roll for inflation (Attachment 2).

The policy identifies five major categories of fees the City currently implements:
impact/development fees, service fees, regulatory fees, rental fees, and penalties/fines. The policy sets the guidelines for cost recovery goals, determines the categories of cost recovery levels, and allows for establishment and modification of fees and charges. Periodically, fees and charges need to be changed to reflect increases in costs or new/changing circumstances.

The fiscal year (FY) 2022/23 Proposed Budget was released on April 25, 2022, and includes the changes recommended in this report. Changes to fees and charges requiring Council approval are included in Exhibit A. The following chart summarizes the number of proposed fee changes by fund and department, and the revenue adjustments included in department revenue budgets:

Subtotal Other Funds 17 133 3 153 $176,455 Total All Funds 32 309 4 345 $445,428 The following provides details on the major changes reflected in the chart above:

• The City Attorney updated its current blended fee to reflect actual attorney and staff costs. As a result, the rates for hourly services on the fee and charges schedule have been modified to reflect the increase of the cost of the service provided.

• The proposed Community Development Department changes reflect an increase for single-unit and duplex dwelling lot splits, a moderate increase to the Code Enforcement recovery rate, and documentation of fees enacted due to legislation within the last year.

The projected impact on revenue is minimal.

• Convention and Cultural Services made minimal changes to fees last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These proposed adjustments will help the City stay in line with the industry standards for these fee types.

• The Public Works Department is recommending modifications to better reflect current market conditions and provide true cost recovery for services provided.

o Public Works is offering reduced parking rates as part of the Discounted Employee Parking Program (DEPP) and Part-Time Employee Parking Program (P-TEP) at select City parking garages. DEPP and P-TEP are programs designed to give employees of the downtown area an affordable alternative to the current market parking rates. In addition to increasing activity in City parking garages, the reduced rates are being offered to help workers return to the central city.

o Commuter Rate Special fees are being adjusted at various parking garages in response to recovery from COVID-19 impacts on parking operations. The Commuter Rate Special Fee for the Old Sacramento Garage is being removed as it has had no qualifying uses since 2019. The citation fee for exiting a City municipal lot without paying the required fee is being raised to reduce the number of unpaid parkers in City garages.

o The City’s Parking Division is now managing the Museum of Science and Curiosity (MOSAC) parking lot per cooperative agreement. On-street parking fees with Carshare companies are also being updated per the City’s contracts to reflect the average revenue collected per meter for the prior fiscal year.

Reservation fees for on-street parking are being updated to include non-metered spaces. This will provide an incentive to keep on-street parking spaces open for public use and to turn over parking to support the community.

o Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) disposal fees have been updated based on actual costs of disposal during the previous fiscal year. Fees have been added for latex and oil paints that are submitted in bulk at the City’s hazardous waste disposal facility. The City’s facility no longer accepts non-Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (non-RCRA) liquids, so that fee is being removed. Non-RCRA liquids are those not classified as hazardous.

o Map check fees for Map Amendments and Certificates of Correction are being adjusted to a flat fee to capture full cost of staff time without the administrative costs of managing individual project budgets. Deposits for other full cost recovery map reviews are being adjusted and specific types of reviews are being separated out to better reflect actual costs of staff performing review services.

o The decrease in General Fund (Fund 1001) revenue projected from the contractually obligated annual adjustment of Carshare company fees is offset with a modest increase from raising the citation fee for non-payment of parking garage fee and the administrative fee for applying to reserve on-street parking stalls. There will be a small increase in Parking revenue (Fund 6004) from the management of the MOSAC parking lot.

o Household Hazardous Waste fees (Fund 6007) have been adjusted for FY2022/23 to reflect actual costs of processing and disposal of specific types of materials and are not expected to generate additional revenue. Additional revenue is also not anticipated from changes to Map Check fees (Fund 2018) as they are either being adjusted to reflect actual costs or are deposits for full cost recovery.

• The Fire Department is amending fees for two programs to offset the cost of providing the programs and services.

o The Fire Prevention Program is amended to include an annual fee increase each July 1st, by the percentage change in the CPI Series Title: Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers the U.S. City Average, All Urban Consumers—not seasonally adjusted, for San Francisco-Oakland- San Jose, CA as published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics for the twelve (12) month period ending December 31 of the preceding year. The additional revenue from fee increases is offsetting the cost of the Senior Staff Assistant in the Fire Prevention Division.

o The Fire Department Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Program is amended to include an annual fee increase each July 1st, by the percentage change in the CPI Series Title: Medical Care in the U.S. City Page 7 of 14 Average, All Urban Consumers, Not Seasonally Adjusted, as published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics for the twelve (12) month period ending December 31 of the preceding year.

A cost analysis is prepared annually, and CPI increases are implemented, provided that the increase does not exceed the cost of providing services.

• The Department of Utilities is recommending new Water fees to achieve full cost recovery when performing water meter tests for other water agencies and modifications to Water, Wastewater, and Storm Drainage fees to achieve full cost recovery for services provided. Utilities staff completed a comprehensive review of fees in March 2022 updating labor, equipment, and material costs associated with each fee.

• The Youth, Parks, & Community Enrichment Department (YPCE) proposed changes and fee additions to create additional fee structure for the North Natomas Community Center & Aquatics Complex. The proposed changes will accommodate the many new features of the facility. YPCE also made modifications to current fee structures to better align with industry standards and the proposed fee structure will allow the flexibility needed to operate all programs without limitations this upcoming fiscal year.

Policy Considerations: The changes proposed are consistent with Council’s adopted Fees and Charges Policy and support the City's budget sustainability and fiscal responsibility goals.

Proposition 26 (Attachment 3) was passed by the voters on November 2, 2010, amending Section 1 of Article XIII C and Section 3 of Article XIII A of the state constitution. According to the ballot measure, the intent of the measure is to ensure the effecti veness of Propositions 13 and 218 by providing a definition of a “tax” for state and local purposes “so that neither the Legislature nor local governments can circumvent these restrictions on increasing taxes by simply defining new or expanded taxes as “fees.” Thus, under Proposition 26 a tax has been defined broadly to include any levy, charge, or exaction of any kind imposed by a local government, except for seven specified categories of charges. Moreover, the City bears the burden of proving that a fee or charge is not a tax. Toward this end, the report contains summary information, as appropriate, explaining why each proposed fee or fee increase is not a tax under Proposition 26.

Economic Impacts: Not applicable.

Environmental Considerations:

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) : Approval of fees and the maintenance of a website does not constitute a “project” and is therefore exempt from CEQA according to Section 15601(b)(3) of the CEQA guidelines.

Sustainability: Not applicable.

Commission/Committee Action: This report was presented to the Budget and Audit Committee on Friday, May 6, 2022. The Committee passed a motion supporting the recommended adjustments and forwarded it to the Council for approval.

Rationale for Recommendation: The annual review of citywide fees and charges ensures that the City’s recovery of costs for services keeps pace with changes in the cost-of-living index, as well as changes in methods or levels of service delivery.

Financial Considerations: The review and adjustment of citywide cost recovery through fees and charges is an appropriate mechanism to ensure the continued recovery of costs for specified programs and services. In this case, it is important to note that the proposed fees and charges in this report are necessary to sustain existing programs and do not provide substantial additional resources. The report is recommending 32 new fees, 309 modifications to the fee basis or language and four (4) deletions.

The recommended adjustments will generate approximately $269,000 annually in General Fund revenue and $176,000 annually for all other funds. These revenues are included in the Proposed Budget, and any change would result in an amendment to the revenue budget as proposed.

Local Business Enterprise (LBE): None.

RESOLUTION NO. 2014-0111
Adopted by the Sacramento City Council
May 8, 2014

APPROVING CITYWIDE FEE AND CHARGE ADJUSTMENTS

BACKGROUND
A. On February 7, 2006, the City Council adopted the Citywide Fees and Charges policy (Resolution No. 2006-106).

B. The City has used the Employee Cost Index for State and Local Government Employees, Total Compensation as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for inflationary adjustments. Beginning in FY2014/15 the City will use the State of California Department of Industrial Relations Consumer Price Index (CPI) which is the same index used by the County Assessor to adjust the annual property tax roll for inflation. This change will align adjustments for inflation affecting the City’s largest revenue source, property taxes, with the fees that are also indexed against inflation.

C. Implementation of the policy requires a necessary mechanism to ensure that the City’s fees and charges reflect the City's current costs and that those fees and charges are reviewed on an annual basis by City Council. Staff has conducted the required annual review and recommends certain new fees and fee adjustments.

D. Proposed new fees, deleted fees, and fee adjustments are set forth in Exhibit A.

BASED ON THE FACTS SET FORTH IN THE BACKGROUND, THE CITY COUNCIL RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. The fee and charge policy is approved as amended in Exhibit A.

Section 2. The fee and charge adjustments as set forth in Exhibit B are hereby approved.

Section 3. Exhibits A and B are part of this resolution.

CITY OF SACRAMENTO FEES AND CHARGES POLICY
The City of Sacramento has the ability to determine the extent to which fees should be used to fund City facilities, infrastructure and services.

There are five main categories of fees that the City currently implements1:
99Impact/development fees are typically one-time charges levied by the City against new development to generate revenue for the construction of infrastructure and capital facilities needed to offset the effects of the new development.
9Service fees are charges imposed on persons or property that are designed to offset the cost of providing a government service. Sometimes these services are elective, such as fees for processing voluntary development permit applications, or providing service/recreation programs, while other service fees are not, such as mandatory service fees for trash or utility services. Such fees are typically reasonably related to the cost of providing the service for which the fee is imposed. Otherwise, the fee may constitute a special tax for which voter approval is required by Propositions 13, 62, and 218.
9Regulatory fees are imposed to offset the cost of a regulatory program, such as business regulatory fees, or to mitigate the past, present or future adverse impact of a fee payer’s operations. While payment of a regulatory fee does not necessarily provide any direct benefit from payment of the fee, there must be a "nexus" between the activity and the adverse consequences addressed by the fee. Common examples of regulatory fees include inspection fees and business license fees designed to reimburse a local agency for the cost of monitoring the business and enforcing compliance with City code.
9Rental fees are charged for the rental of public property and include the rental of real property, parking spaces in a public parking lot, or the rental of community facilities such as a recreation or community room or picnic area. Rental fees are not subject to the general rule that the fee must bear a direct relationship to the reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee is charged however, rental fees must be fair and reasonable.
9Penalties/Fines are payment required for non-compliance or failure to adhere to specific rules and/or requirements.

This document sets forth guidelines for:
x Establishing cost recovery goals;
x Determining the categories of cost recovery levels in which to categorize/organize fees;

Resolution 2014-0111 Ma y 8, 2014 Pa ge 3 of 14
x Methods for determining which category a fee falls under; and x Establishment and modification of fees and charges.

A. Cost Recovery Goals
In setting user fees and cost recovery levels, the following factors will be considered2:
1) The amount of a fee should not exceed the overall cost of providing the facility, infrastructure or service for which the fee is imposed. In calculating that cost, direct and indirect costs may be included. That is:
xx Costs which are directly related to the provision of the service; and, x Support costs which are more general in nature but provide support for the provision of the service. For example, service fees can include reimbursement for the administrative costs of providing the service.

Development fees can include the cost of administering the program to construct public facilities that are necessary to serve new development.
2) The method of assessing and collecting fees should be as simple as possible in order to reduce the administrative cost of collection. 3) Fees should be sensitive to the “market” for similar services.

In addition, in setting enterprise fund fees and cost recovery levels, the following factors will be considered:
4) The City will set fees and rates at levels which fully cover the total direct and indirect costs, including operations, capital outlay and debt service of the enterprise programs.
5) The City will review and adjust enterprise fees and rate structures as required to ensure that they remain appropriate and equitable.

B. Categories of Cost Recovery Levels in Which to Categorize/Organize Fees There are five categories of cost recovery levels in which to classify fees:

1. Enterprise: Full direct and indirect cost recovery (100% of total costs) for enterprise services such as water, sewer and solid waste, as well as impact/development fees.

2. High: Full direct cost recovery (81-100% of total costs).

3. Medium: Recovery between 41-80% of direct costs.

4. Low: Recovery between 0-40% of direct costs.
2 Government Finance Officers Association Website, Best Practices in Public Budgeting, City of San Luis Obispo: User Fee Cost Recovery Goals, 2005.

Resolution 2014-0111 May 8, 2014 Page 4 of 14

5. Other: Fees based on market, geography, assessment, project specific, legal limits or specific Council policy.

The City may choose, for policy reasons, to set fees at less than full recovery.

For example, fees based on market, geography, assessment, project specific, statutory/legal limits or specific Council policy. In some cases, the City will acknowledge that a subsidy is acceptable, or even necessary to ensure program access and viability.

C. Methods for Determining Which Category a Fee Falls Under Implementation of higher cost recovery levels is appropriate under the following conditions (up to 100% of the cost of the service or program):
x The service is regulatory in nature (e.g. building permits, plan check fees); x The service is similar to services provided through the private sector; x Other private or public sector alternatives could or do exist for the delivery of the service;
x Over-use of the service is specifically discouraged (e.g. police responses to disturbances or false alarms might fall into this category). x Over-use of the service or facility is a specialized use that could be provided at a lower cost if not for specific nature or service (e.g. lighted fields).

Lower cost recovery levels are appropriate under the following conditions:
x There is no intended relationship between the amount paid and the benefit received. (It is likely that some recreation and human service programs fall into this category as it is expected that these programs will be subsidized by funds);
x Collecting fees is not cost-effective or will significantly effects the accessibility to the service;
x The service is non-recurring, generally delivered on a peak demand or emergency basis, cannot be planned for and is not readily available from a private sector source (e.g. public safety services);
x Collecting fees would discourage compliance with regulatory requirements and adherence is primarily self-identified, and as such, failure to comply would not be readily detected by the City.

Other:
x Market pricing requires that there be a direct relationship between the amount paid and the level and cost of the service received or a direct relationship to actual prices being charged for the service in the current market. x Legal specifications and/or limitations to the amount that is charged. x Adopted Council Policy setting specific fee.

Resolution 2014-0111 Ma y 8, 2014 Pa ge 5 of 14
Factors to Consider
The extent to which the total cost of service should be recovered through fees depends upon the following factors:
99The nature of the facilities, infrastructure or services; 9 The nature and extent of the benefit to the fee payer; 9 The effect of pricing on the demand for services; and 9 The feasibility of collection and recovery.

The chart below reflects these factors and the potential options for higher or lower cost recovery3:

The Nature of the
Facilities,
Infrastructure or
Services
The Nature and
Extent of the Benefit
to The Fee Payers
Effect of Pricing on
the Demand for
Services
Feasibility of
Collection
and Recovery
Higher Cost Recovery
In the case of fees
for facilities,
infrastructure and
proprietary
services
4, total cost
recovery may be
warranted.

When a particular
facility or service
results in substantial,
immediate and direct
benefit to fee payers,
a higher percentage of
the cost of providing
the facility or service
should be recovered
by the fee.

Because the pricing
of services can
significantly affect
demand, full cost
recovery for services
is more appropriate
when the market for
the services is strong
and will support a
high level of cost
recovery.

In the case of
impact fees,
which can be
collected at
the time of
issuance of a
building
permit, ease
of collection is
generally not
a factor.

Lower Cost Recovery
In the case of
governmental
services5, it may be
appropriate for a
substantial portion
of the cost of such
services to be borne
by the City’s
taxpayers, rather
than the individual
users of such
services.

When a particular
facility or service
benefits not only the
fee payer but also a
substantial segment of
the community, lower
cost recovery is
warranted.

If high levels of cost
recovery affect
accessibility to or
negatively effect the
delivery of services to
lower income groups,
this should be
considered based on
the overall goals of
the program being
implemented.

Some fees
may prove to
be impractical
for the City to
utilize if they
are too costly
to administer.

D. Establishment and Modification of Fees and Charges

Resolution 2014-0111 Ma y 8, 2014 Pa ge 6 of 14
Fees will be reviewed and updated on an ongoing basis as part of the annual budget process to ensure that they keep pace with changes in the cost-of-living as well as changes in methods or levels of service delivery. At the beginning of the budget process each department will submit a list of proposed adjustments to their section of the master fee schedule. Each service must be assigned a target cost recovery level as defined above.

Maintaining competitive status and comparability with other cities should be considered when determining new fee levels. Those fees that are proposed for adjustment should be benchmarked against neighboring jurisdiction fee schedules or appropriate service markets. The benchmark analysis should be taken into consideration when making final pricing decisions.

However, the City may choose, for policy reasons, to set fees at less than full recovery. (for example, fees based on market, geography, assessment, project specific, statutory/legal limits or specific Council policy). As stated above, in some cases, the City will acknowledge that a subsidy is acceptable, or even necessary to ensure program access and viability. Where appropriate, fees that have not been increased in some time should have increases phased in over several years to avoid ‘sticker shock’ increases.

If a particular fee is not adjusted in the budget process, to the extent feasible and/or appropriate, it should be increased biennially by a CPI factor to keep pace with inflation.

Beginning in FY2014/15 the City will use the State of California Department of Industrial Relations Consumer Price Index (CPI) which is the same index used by the County Assessor to adjust the annual property tax roll for inflation.

Biennially, the Finance Department shall determine the percentage change in this index and apply the increase or decrease to the master fee schedule, rounding up to the nearest whole dollar. Certain fees are exempt from an index adjustment, such as fees set by the State of California, percentage-based fees or those that have been identified as inappropriate for indexed fee increases (e.g. feasibility or fees that are based on market for services). Exempt fees are noted in the master fee schedule.

Council may consider fee issues outside of the annual budget process on a case-by- case basis.

The City should conduct a comprehensive cost of service analysis every five to seven years to ensure fees and charges are set appropriately. Generally, fees may be adjusted based on supplemental analysis whenever there have been significant changes in the method, level or cost of service delivery. For example, changes in processes and technology change the staff time required to provide services to the public. A cost of service study will identify and quantify these changes.

Attachment 3
Proposition 26
Proposition 26, the “Stop Hidden Taxes Initiative ,” was passed by the voters on November 2, 2010, to amend Article XIII C of the S tate Constitution. According to the ballot measure, the intent of the measure is to ensure the effectiveness of Propositions 13 and 218 by providing a definition of a “tax” for state and local purposes “so that neither the Legislature nor local governments can circumvent these restrictions on increasing taxes by simply defining new or expanded taxes as ‘fees.” Accordingly, under Proposition 26 a tax has been very broadly defined.

Tax Defined:
“Tax” now means “any levy, charge, or exaction of any kind imposed by a local government, except for the following seven categories of charges:

Exception 1 – Benefit Conferred or Privilege Granted
A charge imposed for a specific benefit conferred or privilege granted directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable co sts to the local government of conferring the benefit or granting the privilege
Examples:
o Residential parking permit fees
o Professional licenses
o Business improvement assessments
Exception 2 – Government Service or Product
A charge imposed for a specific government service or product provided directly to the payor 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 Examples:
o User fees for park and recreation programs
o Weed abatement fees
o Sidewalk curb repairs
Exception 3 – Licenses and Permits
A charge imposed for the reasonable regulatory costs to a local government for issuing licenses and permits, performing investigations, inspections and audits, enforcing agricultural marketing orders, and the administrative enforcement and adjudication thereof
Examples:
o Building inspections
o Cardroom license
o Business licenses

Exception 4 – Use of City property
A charge imposed for entrance to or use of local government property, or the purchase, rental, or lease of local government property

Examples:
o City-owned parking lots
o Swimming pools
o Convention Center rentals
o Golf green fees

Exception 5 – Fines and Penalties
A fine, penalty, or other monetary cha rge imposed by the judicial branch of government or a local government as a result of a violation of law

Examples:
o City Code fines and penalties (e.g., 1.28.020)
o Parking fines

Exception 6 – Property Development Charges
A charge imposed as a condition of property development

Examples:
o Development impact fees

Exception 7 – Proposition 218 Fees
Assessments and property related fees imposed in accordance with the provisions of Proposition 218, Article XIII D

Examples:
o Utility fees for water, sewer, drainage, and solid waste o Street lighting assessments

Burden of Proof:

The paragraph following the seven enumerated exceptions states:
“The local government bears the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence [1] that a levy, charge, or other exaction is not a tax, [2] that the amount is no more than necessary to cover the reasonable costs of the government activity, and [3] that the manner in which those costs are allocated to a payor bear s a fair or reasonable relationship to the payor’s burdens on, or benefits received from, the governmental activity.” The latter two requirements only apply to the first three exceptions.

Thus, with the burden of proof now shifted to the C ity, that requires each department to take into consideration how it aims to prove that a proposed fee or fee increase is not a tax. The following analytical framework can assist in this regard.

Burden of Proof: A 3-step Analysis

1. The City must make a threshold determination whe ther one of the exceptions applies.

o If none apply, it is a tax subject to voter approval.

2. If Exceptions 1, 2, or 3 apply, the City must also show that the fee revenue will not exceed the reasonable costs of providing the related governmental activity (at the aggregate level).

3. Finally, the City must show that the costs are fairly allocated to the individual payors.
