The City’s new solid waste Franchise Agreement requires the contractor to use CNG fueled vehicles and is designed to greatly reduce the amount of organic materials sent to landfill in order to reduce methane emissions. In 2021, began a multi-year General Plan Update project, to update all General Plan Elements, including the Climate Action Plan, add new relevant topics to comply with recent updates/mandates in State law, and assess the City’s changing landscape. As part of the Climate Action Plan Update, a comprehensive greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory is underway.

Packet Pg. 246
Attachment: A: 2021 General Plan Annual Report (2022-009 : 2021 General Plan Annual Report) Appendix B: Biennial Climate Action Plan Report (2020 and 2021 Reporting Period) Executive Summary
The San Ramon Climate Action Plan (CAP) was adopted in 2011 as the primary strategy for ensuring that the build-out of the General Plan will not conflict with the implementation of Assembly Bill 32 – the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006. Assembly Bill (AB) 32, among other things, requires California to reduce statewide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to 1990 levels by the year 2020. To accomplish this goal locally, the CAP outlines policy actions for the City to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 15 percent below 2008 levels by the year 2020; thereby meeting the AB 32 standard.
Climate Action Plan Strategy
The CAP’s focus is on emission sources within the City’s regulatory authority as well as reliance on the statewide reduction strategies. The CAP strategy is based upon the land use, transportation, and conservation policies that are part of the General Plan. Conceptually, the design and density of future growth can produce a more compact and integrated land use pattern. This improved connectivity can reduce the amount of vehicles on the road, make centralized transit more viable and when coupled with improved energy efficiency measures can result in fewer GHG emissions locally.
Climate Action Plan Status Report
To monitor progress in achieving the CAP objectives, the CAP Status Report is intended to provide an overview of the general activities within the purview of the City and General Plan policies. As such, this report has been modified from a standalone report to an Appendix to the General Plan Annual Report. The impacts of Climate Change as well as the City’s local response are difficult to quantify in a meaningful way on an annual or biennial basis. As such, much of the information in this report (2020 to 2021 Reporting Period), as well as previous reports, is qualitative information.
Preparation of an updated CAP is underway with the multi-year General Plan Update project under review. The General Plan Update project will continue with a public review process throughout 2022 and potentially into 2023. The updated CAP will also include a comprehensive Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory, which will provide a technical analysis of the effectiveness of the CAP and if, as a result of that analysis, additional local GHG reduction measures are required, the City will consider updates to the CAP.
11.2.a
Packet Pg. 247 Attachment: A: 2021 General Plan Annual Report (2022-009 : 2021 General Plan Annual Report) Greenhouse Gas Inventory (GHG) Report 2014
Greenhouse gas inventories consider a wide range of human activities. Estimating the amount of GHG generated by these activities requires using a multiple data sources and a diverse set of methodologies to form a GHG profile for the City. The last comprehensive Greenhouse Gas Inventory was completed for the 2014 reporting year and included in the 2015 CAP Annual Report.
The analysis for San Ramon indicates that the majority of GHG generation is associated with Motor Vehicles (57%) and Energy Use (28% electricity and gas) and has directly influenced the policy focus of the CAP.
Figure 1: San Ramon Community Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory 2014 The 2014 Greenhouse Gas Inventory Update and related analysis indicated that existing regulations alone are sufficient to meet the 2020 GHG reduction targets for the General Plan Planning Area. The next comprehensive Greenhouse Gas Inventory Update is anticipated at the completion of the 2020 reporting year (approximately every 5 years) and will correspond with the next comprehensive General Plan Update (anticipated in 2021). If, as a result of that analysis, additional local GHG reduction measures are required, the City will consider additional updates to the CAP.
The Attached policy matrix includes a summary of the CAP strategies and an implementation status update based on current City actions, activities and policies that promote CAP implementation.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: March 22, 2022
TO: City Council/City Manager
FROM: Kelly Sessions, Administrative Services Director
By: Kelly Sessions, Administrative Services Director
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 2022-043 - Authorizing the Exception to the 180-Day Wait Period Under Government Code Sections 7522.56 & 21221(H) and Title 2, California Code of Regulations Section 579.25, for the Hiring of CalPERS Annuitant and the Temporary Appointment of Craig Stevens as a CalPERS Annuitant to the Position of Police Chief of the San Ramon Police Department
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Police Chief Craig Stevens formally submitted his resignation to the City Manager due to his pending retirement; his last day with the City will be March 25, 2022. Normally, CalPERS retirees are required to wait 180 days before they can be rehired. However, CalPERS rules specifically allow for waiver of the 180-day rule for public safety officers if other requirements are met. The City Manager proposes that Chief Stevens be temporarily appointed to the position of Police Chief during the process to hire his replacement. CalPERS regulations require approval of this exception in a public meeting.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends approval of this Resolution authorizing an exception to the 180-day wait period to hire a CalPERS annuitant and to temporarily appoint Craig Stevens as a CalPERS annuitant to the position of Police Chief in the Police Department.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
As of January 1, 2013, CalPERS requires a retired employee to wait 180 days before accepting temporary employment. Per Title 2, California Code of Regulations § 579.25, the 180-day wait period may be waived for public safety officers. Additionally, Government Code §7522.56(f)(1) allows for an exception to the 180-day wait period if the employer certifies the nature of the employment and that the appointment is necessary to fill a critically needed position before 180 days have passed and the appointment has been approved by the governing body of the employer in a public meeting. The Government Code also limits compensation to the hourly rate for the position that is most closely related to the duties performed, in this case, the Department Director/Police Chief classification. By law, retired employees (i.e., annuitants) may not receive
11.3 Packet Pg. 289
benefits, compensation in lieu of benefits, or any other form of compensation beyond the specified hourly rate.
Craig Stevens has been a City employee for approximately 15 years and has served as Police Chief in the Police Department for the last three years. As Chief, he was responsible for overseeing Police Department operations and a multitude of functions that enhance public safety and provide support to the entire City. Specifically, the Police Chief:
Develops and directs the implementation of goals, objectives, policies, procedures and work standards for the department; prepares and administers the department's budget. Plans, organizes, administers, reviews and evaluates the work of sworn and non-sworn staff through subordinate levels of supervision.
Provides for the selection, training, professional development and work evaluation of department staff; authorizes discipline as required; provides policy guidance and interpretation to staff; ensures that laws, ordinances and policies are consistently enforced.
Contributes to the overall quality of the department's service by developing, reviewing and implementing policies and procedures to meet legal requirements and City needs. Oversees all City police functions including community-oriented policing, patrol, crime prevention, investigation, traffic enforcement, school services, dispatch and records. Directs the investigation of major crimes in coordination with other agencies; assists the City Attorney and District Attorney in the preparation of cases. Prepares, recommends and implements strategic plans to meet the City's current and long-range needs.
Confers with and represents the department and the City in meetings with members of the City Council, members of boards and commissions, various governmental agencies, local law enforcement agencies and a variety of public and private organizations. Works closely with the City Manager, the City Council, other City departments, a variety of public and private organizations and citizen groups in developing programs and implementing projects to maximize police services.
Prioritizes and allocates available resources; reviews and evaluates program and service delivery, makes recommendations for improvement and ensures maximum effective service provision.
Prepares and directs the preparation of a variety of written correspondence, reports, bid and requests for proposals, contracts, procedures, ordinances and other written materials. Maintains and directs the maintenance of working and official departmental files. Monitors changes in laws, court decisions, regulations and technology that may affect departmental operations; implements policy, procedural and operational changes as required.
Police Chief Stevens’s last day of employment will be March 25, 2022. By definition, the Police Chief position is essential to maintaining public safety and ensuring a smooth transition until a new police chief is appointed. Also by definition, Chief Stevens meets the requirements as set forth in California Code of Regulations 579.25 allowing for waiver of the 180-day waiting period for public safety officers, in addition to the waiver allowed by Government Code §7522.56(f)(1) to fill a critically needed position. Therefore, staff recommends that City Council
11.3 Packet Pg. 290
approve the temporary appointment of Craig Stevens as a CalPERS annuitant to the position of Police Chief to perform the functions described and other comparable projects for which he is uniquely qualified. Staff further recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to use his purchasing authority to contract with an executive recruitment firm to search for a permanent appointment effective this day, March 22, 2022.
The terms of Chief Stevens’s employment include an hourly rate of $115.43, with the employment continuing until a new Police Chief is appointed on a permanent basis and some knowledge transfer has occurred. This temporary employment, however, would end no later than August 31, 2022 and will not be extended beyond that date. The appointment can also be terminated at any time before that date by either party. The number of hours worked would not exceed 960 in a fiscal year per CalPERS regulations. Chief Stevens is agreeable to the terms and conditions of the proposed temporary employment.
This appointment will allow the day-to-day operations of the Police Department to continue uninterrupted. Appointment of the permanent replacement is expected to take three to six months.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The maximum cost of rehiring Chief Stevens as a CalPERS retired annuitant for the remainder of FY 2021/22 is approximately $70,025. Because Chief Stevens will not be allowed to receive any additional compensation beyond his hourly wage, the City will experience savings for the costs associated with his benefits (e.g., monthly medical and dental insurance and pension expense).
Should the recruitment process extend into FY 2022/23 by an additional three and one-half months, the extra cost will approximate $70,025. In no way will the hours worked exceed 960 hours in FY 2022/23, which would increase the 2022/23 fiscal year cost by approximately $110,809 for a total expense of $180,834. The temporary assignment would end no later than August 31, 2022. The overlap between this temporary appointment and the newly hired Police Chief is intended to be minimal. The alternative cost of contracting for outside consultant assistance for similar work would be considerably higher and would still require City staff time to guide and support the consultants, thus impacting operational efficiency of the Department.
The cost of hiring an executive recruitment firm to conduct a search for a permanent appointment is expected to be approximately $30,000 and falls within the City Manager’s current purchasing authority.
STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
If approved by the City Council, staff will prepare the necessary documents for this temporary appointment, ensuring that all Government Code requirements are met related to employment of a retired annuitant. Additionally, recruitment of a permanent successor to Chief Stevens will begin immediately with the selection of an executive recruitment firm by the City Manager.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve a motion to set a public hearing on April 26, 2022 to consider adoption of Resolution No. 2022-(next in line) establishing fees and charges for Fiscal Year 2022/2023 and repealing Resolution No. 2021-058.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
City staff annually reviews the Schedule of Fees and Charges as part of the overall budget process and then makes recommendations related to the fees and charges to the City Council.
Staff has completed the annual review of the City’s Fee Resolution and submitted proposed changes and additions. The Finance Committee reviewed the Fee Schedule on March 7, 2022, and did not have any changes to the fees. The proposed Fee Resolution is attached for your review. The proposed changes and additions are noted in a separate column for easy identification. The column is labeled “Proposed Fee” and is in blue text. All other fees and charges are to remain in effect and unchanged as indicated.
Before the City can levy a new fee or service charge, or approve an increase in an existing fee or service charge, a local agency must hold at least one public hearing, at which oral or written presentation can be made, as part of a regularly scheduled meeting. (Government Code §66016.)
FISCAL ANALYSIS
GENERAL GOVERNMENT
Subordination Fee
$250 processing fee + $440 Deposit + Time & Materials
11.4 Packet Pg. 295
This fee has been adjusted to reflect the staff time required to process a subordination agreement which is not included in the current $250 processing fee. A city planner and city attorney is required to communicate with the subordinating party and its representatives, review legal documents and obtain city signatures and a notary in a short timeframe. A $440 Deposit is required to ensure partial payment of staff time as the City historically has not been paid the Subordination Fee upon request and completion of the transaction. The deposit amount will cover the minimum amount of staff time to complete the transaction and anything beyond the deposit amount will be charged as Time and Materials.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS - GENERAL GOVERNMENT
No significant fiscal impact is expected for the changes in these fees.
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
Business Licenses and Business License Renewals
The User Fee Study for Planning Services Division, February 2020 establishes a maximum $202 fully burdened rate for Business Licenses and Business License Renewals. As a result of staff time required to process these applications, the various applicable fees have been increased by $25 each, up to a maximum $200, below the $202 fully burdened rate. With the proposed fee increases, processing for smaller businesses continues to be subsidized, based on the fully burdened rate. There is no difference in processing time between a smaller sized business and a larger sized business.

Development Impact Fees - North Camino Ramon Specific Plan Fee The residential fee is required to be adjusted on an annual basis to reflect changes in regional construction costs. The amount of the adjustment is based on the change in the December 2020 to December 2021 Construction Cost Index (CCI) for the San Francisco Bay Area, as reported annually in the Engineering News Record (ENR).

Building and Safety Services is proposing to increase the hourly rate and related flat fees that will offset increased cost of providing services.
Building and Safety Services - Hourly Rate
The following fees have been revised to increase the existing Building and Safety Services hourly rate of $160.00 to $200.00:
Hourly fee charged for plan changes and additional plan review; Used to determine Re-Inspection Fees that are assessed when a schedule inspection is not ready;

Used to determine Flat Fees;
The revised Building and Safety Services Hourly Rate is based on an estimated hourly rate for services established in prior fee determinations. Fee increases align with administration and inspection time required to complete each task. The Hourly Rate has not increased in three years for the Division.
Building and Safety Services - Fee Changes
11.4 Packet Pg. 299
As a result of the Hourly Rate changes and a determination of actual time to complete tasks, the following fees are revised to reflect the cost associated with providing the services:
Re-Inspection Fee - assessed when the work for a scheduled inspection is not ready to be inspected.
o Increased from $40.00 to $100.00
Building and Safety Services - Flat Fees
Fees for Solar Heating and Cooling and Photovoltaic installations are flat fees set by California Assembly Bill 1414 and documented in the fee schedule to reflect the fees and calculation method.
Additional flat fees are created for Solar Energy Storage (Battery), Bathroom Remodel and Repair, Kitchen Remodel or Repair, Re-roof, Window/Door Permit and Residential Furnace/Air Conditioning replacement. The flat fees are determined by estimated time for each inspection type, the minimal number of inspections for each project type and the revised hourly rate. The construction cost of these types of projects often vary, but usually have the same number of inspections and take a similar amount of time to complete inspections. Proposed fees reflect consolidated building plan check, mechanical plan check, electrical plan check, building permit, energy inspection, mechanical permit, and electrical permit. High construction valuations also caused some permits to be significantly higher while plan check effort and inspection are the same.
Solar Heating and Cooling System
O New Fee Residential $450 (10 kWth or less) $15 (per add’l kWth) Commercial $1000 (30 kWth or less) $7 (per add’l kWth

FISCAL IMPLICATION - COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Planning Services Division
As in past years, the increase in local development impact fees and Planning Services fees are the result of cost increases reflected in the local Construction Cost Index, Consumer Price Index, and the established nexus fee studies. The increase in fees will slightly increase the cost of development, which is paid by the developer and reflects the increased cost of service associated with the fees. The increase in fees will not result in any negative impacts to City finances.
Building & Safety Services Division
Based upon the existing staffing level and respective salaries, benefits, and specific expenditures related to plan reviews and inspections, costs are not being fully recovered to provide this service. Presently, the hourly billing rate of $160/hour does not recover staff salaries and benefits. A new rate of $200/hour is consistent with the general billing rate for Building and Safety Services staff who review and inspect construction projects.
The flat fees proposed do not increase permit fees for these types of permits. The construction cost of these types of projects often vary, but usually have the same number of inspections and take a similar amount of time to complete inspections. Proposed fees reflect consolidated building plan check, mechanical plan check, electrical plan check, building permit, energy inspection, mechanical permit, and electrical permit and are based on time to perform these plan check and inspection services and not the cost of constructing these improvements.
PUBLIC WORKS
Engineering Services Division
Subdivision/Preliminary Development Review Fee
Based upon the existing staffing level and respective salaries, benefits, and specific expenditures related to engineering plan review, costs are not being fully recovered to provide this service.
Presently, the hourly billing rate of $150/hour does not recover staff salaries and benefits. A new rate of $200/hour is consistent with the general billing rate for engineering staff who review these projects. In surveying other cities, the hourly rate ranges from $151/hour to $303/hour, and
11.4 Packet Pg. 301
the average being $221/hour. This change will result in an increase in cost to the applicant, but will significantly improve cost recovery and this increase proposed rate falls within the range of what other surrounding cities charge. The existing review rate has been utilized since 2013.
Transportation Services Division
Citywide Traffic Impact Mitigation Fees
The increase is derived from the December 2021 Engineering News Record (ENR) for the San Francisco Bay Area. The Construction Cost Index (CCI) increase is 8.0%.
San Ramon Transit Center Bike Locker Rental Program Fees Bike Lockers were removed and replaced with E-lockers. The new E-lockers use Clipper Card and the fee is Pay as You Go.
Subdivision/Preliminary Development Review Fee
Based upon the existing staffing level and respective salaries, benefits, and specific expenditures related to transportation plan review, costs are not being fully recovered to provide this service.
Presently, the hourly billing rate of $150/hour does not recover staff salaries and benefits. A new rate of $200/hour is consistent with the general billing rate for transportation staff who review these projects. In surveying other cities, the hourly rate ranges from $151/hour to $303/hour, and the average being $221/hour. This change will result in an increase in cost to the applicant, but will significantly improve cost recovery and this increase proposed rate falls within the range of what other surrounding cities charge. The existing review rate has been utilized since 2013.
Public Services Division
Staffing Rates
The proposed Administration, Field-Regular, Field - Overtime, and Field - Call-Out/Emergency Stand-By staffing rates are being increased to reflect actual staffing costs. The Administration staffing rate is being increased from $136.00 to $139.00. The Field - Regular staffing rate is being increased from $115.00 to $119.00. The Field - Overtime and Field - Call-Out/Emergency Stand-By staffing rates are being increased from $140.00 to $144.00.

No significant fiscal impact is expected for the changes in these fees.
11.4 Packet Pg. 302
Transportation Services Division
No significant fiscal impact is expected for the changes in these fees.
Public Services Division
No significant fiscal impact is expected for the changes in these fees.
POLICE SERVICES
There are no changes to any of the fees listed, nor are there any new fees.
PARKS & COMMUNITY SERVICES
1. Advertising Fees for Performing Arts Brochure
Fiscal impact: No anticipated impact on revenue.
(1) Propose a new fee for advertisements in the Presenting Series Performing Arts Brochure. One-half (1/2) page ad - $220.00
Full page ad - $440.00
Staff recommends a new fee instead of using existing advertising fees affiliated with the recreation guide or general department marketing fees. The proposed fee is more in line with the cost of marketing in the Presenting Series Brochure based on size and distribution and is midrange compared to advertising fees charged in other East Bay Area performing arts brochures.
2. Outdoor Fitness Permit Fee Increase
Fiscal impact: Estimated revenue increase of $250
(1) Propose increasing Outdoor Fitness Permit Fees for residents from $17.00/hr to $18.00/hr and non-residents from $31.00/hr to $32.00/hr.
The proposed increase will help keep pace with required maintenance costs associated with the facilities.
3. Hourly Rate Adjustment for Additional Staff Special Event Support Fiscal impact: No anticipated impact on revenue.
Part-Time Staff
(1) Propose to increase the special event fees requiring a Building Attendant II from $19.00 per hour to $22.00 per hour. These fees are applied to special events in which part-time
11.4 Packet Pg. 303
staff support the event.
This proposed increase is necessary to offset the increased hourly staff rates due to an increase in the minimum wage. The hourly staff fees were last increased in 2021 due to an increase in the minimum wage. The $22.00 fee is in line with the hourly staff fees for aquatic events.
Full-Time Staff
(2) Propose to increase the special event fees requiring a Recreation Technician from $60.00 per hour to $85.00 per hour.
(3) Propose to increase the special event fees requiring a Recreation Coordinator from $72.00 per hour to $104.00 per hour.
(4) Propose to remove the hourly fees for Recreation Supervisor and Managers/ Director These fees are applied to special events in which full-time staff provide support.
The current rates for full-time staff have not been increased for several years and the proposed increase would be in line with the current billing rates of pay for full-time Recreation Coordinators and Recreation Technicians. Typically, Supervisors and Managers do not work rental events so the fees for these positions are not needed.
4. Increase Fees for Banner Permit Application
Fiscal impact: No anticipated impact on revenue.
(1) Propose increasing Installation/Removal fee for the Street Banner Program.
Due to the negotiated contract with Sierra Installation, Inc., the City’s street banner installation company, staff recommends increasing the current rates for banner installation from $80.00/per banner to $85.00/per banner and from $15.00/pole to $16.00/pole to cover contract costs.
5. Add Fee for Renting the Walnut Barn Picnic Rentals
Fiscal impact: Estimated revenue increase of $240
(1) Propose a new hourly $70/ per hour fee for renting the Walnut Barn Picnic Rental area
Staff recommends a new hourly fee to rent the Walnut Barn Picnic Rental area by the hour.
Renters look for different opportunities in renting the space and are not always interested in a four-hour block. This would give renters the opportunity to rent per hour. Staff believes this will help attract groups interested in renting the space for meetings and increase overall usage of the Walnut Barn as a location for meetings.
6. Removal of Room Classification Sizes
11.4 Packet Pg. 304
Fiscal impact: No anticipated impact on revenue.
Staff recommends removal of the Small Room, Medium Room, Large Room, and Grand Room classifications; instead, listing the rooms individually by name.
The current fee resolution for indoor rental fees are listed per room classification. Staff recommends removing all room size classifications and assigning exclusive hourly rental fees per room, as each are unique in size and capacity. This modification will allow staff to evaluate rates by room usage and make future recommended fee adjustments for specific rooms instead of room classifications.
Room rental deposits will remain in effect as listed per the room size classifications (e.g. Small, Medium, Large, Grand).
7. Increase Fees for Indoor Facility Rentals
Fiscal impact: Estimated revenue increase of $25,000.00 San Ramon Community Center
(1) Propose increasing rental rate by $10.00 per hour for the Fountain Room at the San Ramon Community Center.
For Non-Profit Groups, weekday fees would increase from $65.00/Hr.to $75.00/Hr.
For Non-Profit Groups, weekend fees would increase from $145.00/Hr. to $155.00/Hr.
For Residents, weekday fees would increase from $120.00/Hr. to $130.00/Hr. For Residents, weekend fees would increase from $270.00/Hr. to $280.00/Hr. For Non-Residents, weekday fees would increase from $150.00/Hr.to $160.00/Hr. For Non-Residents, weekend fees would increase from $335.00/Hr.to $345.00/Hr.
Amador Rancho Community Center
(2) Propose increasing rental rate by $5.00 per hour for the Russell Room at the Rancho San Ramon Community Center.
For Non-Profit Groups, weekday fees would increase from $35.00/Hr. to $40.00/Hr.
For Non-Profit Groups, weekend fees would increase from $70.00/Hr. to $75.00/Hr.
For Residents, weekday fees would increase from $65.00/Hr. to $70.00/Hr. For Residents, weekend fees would increase from $95.00/Hr. to $100.00/Hr.
11.4 Packet Pg. 305
For Non-Residents, weekday fees would increase from $80.00/Hr. to $85.00/Hr. For Non-Residents, weekend fees would increase from $115.00/Hr. to $120.00/Hr.
(3) Propose increasing rental rate by $10.00 per hour for the Bella Vista Room at the Rancho San Ramon Community Center.
For Non-Profit Groups, weekday fees would increase from $50.00/Hr. to $60.00/Hr.
For Non-Profit Groups, weekend fees would increase from $95.00/Hr. to $105.00/Hr.
For Residents, weekday fees would increase from $85.00/Hr.to $95.00/Hr. For Residents, weekend fees would increase from $145.00/Hr. to $155.00/Hr. For Non-Residents, weekday fees would increase from $105.00/Hr. to $115.00/Hr.
For Non-Residents, weekend fees would increase from $180.00/Hr. to $190.00/Hr.
In addition, a portion of our rental facilities have been remodeled, including the installation of state of the art A/V equipment. Staff recommends that the remodeled rooms are priced higher based on their desirability for rental. The proposed increase will also keep pace with maintenance associated with the renovated facilities, continued increases in utilities, and the increased staff rates due to increased minimum wage.
8. Establish Fees for Use of City Hall Rotunda (pg. 42) Fiscal impact: Estimated revenue increase of $10,500.00 (1) Establish a facility deposit and rental fee for the City Hall Rotunda. Refundable Damage Deposit: $2,500.00
City Hall Rotunda Resident Rental fee for up to 10 hours: $3,500.00 City Hall Rotunda Resident Non-Profit rental fee for up to 10 hours: $2,500.00 Per the City Council Policy Committee, fees for the City Hall Rotunda have been included in the proposed fee resolution; however, no rentals will be allowed until the City Council Policy Committee has reviewed and approved the rental rules/policies for the rotunda. Rental of the City Hall Rotunda would require a refundable facility rental deposit in the amount of $2,500 and all contracted hours (10) shall be charged at the rate of $350/per hour for a total of $3,500 per resident event and $250 an hour for a total of $2,500 per non-profit resident events. Rates were established based on the City of San Francisco and the City of San Jose, both who offer private rental opportunities in 10-hour reservations in their City Hall Rotundas. The City of San Ramon fee proposal also considered guest occupancy limits and utilized the Fountain Room at the San
11.4 Packet Pg. 306
Ramon Community Center (the City’s largest rental facility as a comparison) to propose refundable deposit and hourly rates for the City of San Ramon. Rentals would only be allowed after regular business hours on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

9. Increase Fees for Group Picnic and Aquatic Picnic Rentals Fiscal impact: Estimated revenue increase of $3,500.00
(1) Recommend to increase all Group Picnic Rental fees by 3.8% and round to the next whole dollar.
For Non-Profit, groups of 1-50, rates would increase from $58.00 to $60.00 For Non-Profit, groups of 51-149, rates would increase from $142.00 to $147.00 For Non-Profit, groups of 150-200, rates would increase from $163.00 to $169.00 For Residents, groups of 1-50, rates would increase from $111.00 to $115.00 For Residents, groups of 51-149, rates would increase from $215.00 to $223.00 For Residents, groups of 150-200, rates would increase from $320.00 to $332.00 For Commercial Residents, groups of 1-50, rates would increase from $156.00 to $162.00
For Commercial Residents, groups of 51-149, rates would increase from $283.00 to $294.00
For Commercial Residents, groups of 150-200, rates would increase from $528.00 to $548.00
For Non-Residents, groups of 1-50, rates would increase from $204.00 to $212.00 For Non-Residents, groups of 51-149, rates would increase from $354.00 to $368.00
For Non-Residents, groups of 150-200, rates would increase from $528.00 to $548.00
11.4 Packet Pg. 307
(2) Recommend to increase Aquatic Picnic Rental fees by 3.8% and round to the next whole dollar.
For Residents, groups of up to 26, rates would increase from $157.00 to $163.00 For Residents, groups of 26-50, rates would increase from $313.00 to $325.00 For Non-Residents, groups of up to 26, rates would increase from $228.00 to $237.00
For Non-Residents, groups of 26-50, rates would increase from $390.00 to $405.00
Staff recommends a 3.8% (CPI) increase for Group Picnic and Aquatic Picnic reservations. The increase is to keep pace with required maintenance costs associated with the facilities.
Staff also recommends the addition of a Group Picnic area at Monarch Park to be included in the rental program. The picnic area near the play structure at Monarch Park was highly requested over the past several months.
10. Central Park Amphitheater Fee Adjustments
Fiscal impact: Estimated revenue increase of $1,500.00
(1) Staff recommends eliminating the $1,500 fee ($150.00/per hour) for a 10-hour rental and listing any rental over 6 hours as $125.00/per hour Due to a recent use review of the Amphitheater located at the San Ramon Community Center, staff determined renters often choose this outdoor space for over 6 hours. Staff recommends eliminating the current fee structure of $1,500 per 10 hours ($150.00/per hour) and extending the discounted rate of $125.00/per hour to any Central Park Amphitheater rental over 6 hours.
11. Addition of Rancho San Ramon Park Amphitheater Fees Fiscal impact: Estimated revenue increase of $1,000.00
(1) Staff recommends adding a fee of $100.00/per hour (for a 2-hour minimum plus the cost of the field rental) to rent the outdoor Amphitheater space at Rancho San Ramon Park.
(2) Staff recommends adding a discounted rate of $84.00/per hour for rentals that are over 6 hours.
The current fee resolution does not offer the Amphitheater located at the Rancho San Ramon Park for rental opportunities. Staff reviewed requests and found the community is seeking this space to rent for outdoor events and awards ceremonies. Recommended fees were determined by a fee comparison survey and the recommended fees for the Central Park Amphitheater.
11.4 Packet Pg. 308
12. Field Rental Grass Field Hourly Fee Increase
Fiscal impact: Estimated revenue increase of $25,000
(1) Following the fee methodology approved by the Parks & Community Services Commission associated with the FY2021/22 Fee Resolution recommendations, staff proposes to increase turf field rental rates by $1.00.
For Youth Co-Sponsored Groups and SRVUSD, fees would increase from $10.00 to $11.00/Hr.
For Adult Co-Sponsored Groups and Residents, fees would increase from $17.00 to $18.00/Hr.
For Non-Residents, fees would increase from $31.00 to $32.00/Hr.
This recommendation reflects the previously approved eight-year plan to increase hourly field rental fees. The planned method of increasing hourly field rental fees has positively affected user groups and the City. User groups are able to plan and budget as necessary and the City sees a steady and predictable increase in yearly revenue to offset maintenance costs.
The eight-year plan was established during the FY 2018/19 budget process through staff survey of 44 agencies to collect data comparing current hourly rates, rental classifications, and cost recovery expectations. Seventeen agencies responded with survey data, which revealed City of San Ramon’s hourly rate for field rentals was significantly lower than the average.
Based on the information collected, staff recommended establishing a yearly increase plan for hourly field rates.
Fiscal Year Youth Co-Sponsored Adult Co-Sponsored/
Resident
Non-Resident
FY 2018/19 $7.33 $14.65 $28.61
FY 2019/20 $8.00 $15.00 $29.00
FY 2020/21 $9.00 $16.00 $30.00
FY 2021/22 $10.00 $17.00 $31.00
FY 2022/23 $11.00 $18.00 $32.00
FY 2023/24 $12.00 $19.00 $33.00
FY 2024/25 $13.00 $20.00 $34.00
FY 2025/26 $14.00 $21.00 $35.00
FY 2026/27 $15.00 $22.00 $36.00
13. Outdoor Rental Hourly Fee Increase (Synthetic Fields, Field Lights, Sand Volleyball Courts, Storage, Batting Cages
Fiscal impact: Estimated revenue increase of $10,000
(1) Propose increasing fees for Synthetic Fields, Light at Sports Fields, Sand Volleyball Courts, Monthly Storage Units, and Batting Cages, by 3.8% (CPI) and rounding up to
11.4 Packet Pg. 309
the nearest whole dollar.
The proposed increase will help keep pace with required maintenance costs associated with the facilities. The increase in costs are being included in the rental fees for Synthetic Fields, Lights at Sports Fields, Sand Volleyball Courts, Monthly Storage Units, and Batting Cages.
14. Field and Gymnasium Scoreboard Fees for Private Rentals Fiscal impact: Estimated revenue Increase of $2,000
(1) Propose establishing monthly and daily rental rates for the use of field and gym scoreboards for Private Rentals.
Monthly Rental Fee: $400.00
Daily Rental Fee: $100.00
Staff recommends reinstatement of the 2016 daily scoreboard fee and the addition of a monthly fee for private rentals on athletic fields and community gymnasiums where scoreboards are present. This will help cover costs for maintenance and replacement parts. There has been an increase in the use of private field and gymnasium rentals for both practices and games. Staff has received inquiries for the use of scoreboards; however, there are no current fees for scoreboards on fields or gyms. Scoreboards are currently installed at both Iron Horse and Pine Valley gymnasiums as well as Central Park Diamonds 1-4 and the Rancho San Ramon Baseball Field.
15. Dougherty Station Community Center Front Row Theater Rental Fee Increase Fiscal impact: No anticipated impact on revenue.
(1) Propose increasing the hourly rates for Technical and House Staff for theater rentals by $2.00 per hour from $33.00 per hour to $35.00 per hour.
Due to the negotiated contract with Venuetech, the City’s theater management company, staff recommends increasing the current rates for Theater Staff by $2.00/hour to cover contract costs associated with increases in the minimum wage and to stay in line with current hourly rates for Theater Staff in the Bay Area.
16. Dougherty Valley Performing Arts Center Theater Rental Fee Increases Fiscal impact: No anticipated impact on revenue.
(1) Propose increasing the hourly rates for the Technical and House Staff for theater rentals by $2.00 per hour from $33.00 per hour to $35.00 per hour. (2) Propose increasing the hourly rates for the Production Manager II Staff for theater rentals by $2.00 per hour from $41.00 per hour to $43.00 per hour.
Due to the negotiated contract with Venuetech, the City’s theater management company, staff recommends increasing the current rates for Theater Staff by $2.00/hour to cover contract costs
11.4 Packet Pg. 310
associated with increases in the minimum wage and to stay in line with current hourly rates for Theater Staff in the Bay Area.
17. Permanent and Portable PA System Fees
Fiscal impact: Estimate revenue increase of $250.00
(1) Propose adding the Vista Grande Room permanent PA system to be included in existing permanent PA rental fees.
The Vista Grande Room previously used a portable PA. Now that a new permanent AV system is installed, staff recommends adding the Vista Grande Room to the options for permanent PA systems. Permanent PA systems are currently $75.00/ day in the Fountain Room, Terrace Room, Ridgeview Room, and Bella Vista Room.
18. San Ramon Olympic Pool and Aquatic Park and Dougherty Valley Aquatic Center Special Event and Lane Use Fees
Fiscal impact: Estimated revenue increase of $24,400
(1) Propose to increase the Combined Lane Rental and Lifeguard for 25-yard Course Fees to better align with the market rate based on a fee survey of similar facilities. This would account for increases in expenses to operate the facilities and an adjustment for the increase in minimum wage.
For Co-Sponsored Groups, fees would increase from $8.00 to $9.00 For Residents, fees would increase from $10.70 to $12.00 For Non-Residents, fees would increase from $13.40 to $15.00 (2) Propose to increase the Combined Lane Rental and Lifeguard fees for 50-meter Course Fees.
For Co-Sponsored Groups, fees would increase from $12.90 to $14.00 For Residents, fees would increase from $17.20 to $19.00 For Non-Residents, fees would increase from $21.50 to $24.00 Staff conducted a fee survey of similar agencies throughout the State of California. The conclusion of the survey is that City 50-meter Course Fees were lower on average than the standard.
50-Meter Course Current San Ramon Hourly
Rates
Fee Survey Average Hourly
Rates
Co-Sponsored $12.90 $18.98
Resident $17.20 $23.67
Non-Resident $21.50 $29.67
Based on the information collected through fee surveys and analysis of other similar facilities,
11.4 Packet Pg. 311
staff recommends establishing a new yearly increase plan for hourly 50-meter course rates over the next five years. The first year, the resident fee would be increased to $19.00 and increase by roughly $1.00 yearly until reaching $25.00. Non-resident and Co-sponsored fees are determined on the Resident rate at plus or minus 25% respectively. Below is a table outlining the five-year plan.
Fiscal Year Co-Sponsored Resident Non-Resident
FY 2022/23 $14.00 $19.00 $24.00
FY 2023/24 $15.00 $20.00 $25.00
FY 2024/25 $16.00 $22.00 $27.00
FY 2025/26 $17.00 $23.00 $29.00
FY 2026/27 $18.00 $25.00 $31.00
By instituting this multi-year method of increasing hourly 50-meter course rental fees, the user groups are able to plan and budget as necessary and the City sees a steady and predictable increase in yearly revenue to offset maintenance costs, increased staff wages and align with market rates. This is equitable with the multi-year rate increase plan for field users and employs the same methodology and reasoning as the City’s Field Maintenance and Sustainability Plan.
The City reserves the right to revise annual increases to the proposed 5-year plan based on uncontrollable economic factors.
(3) Propose to increase special event and private rental lifeguard fees by $1.00. Special Event Lifeguard Fee would increase from $21.00 per hour to $22.00 per hour. These fees are applied to special events, Swim Meets and Water Polo Tournaments at the aquatic facilities.
Private Rental Group Lifeguard Fee would increase from $21.00 per hour to $22.00 per hour.
The proposed increase is necessary to offset the rising pay rates due to increased minimum wage.
The hourly staff fees were last increased in 2021.
(4) Propose eliminating the current Water Polo Tournament fees that are based on half-day and daily rates and establishing an hourly Water Polo Tank fee at $75.00 per hour per tank + Guard Fee.
The current Water Polo Tournament fees (ranging from $324/half day plus Guard Fee for 1 tank / half pool to $649/day plus Guard Fee for 2 tanks / full pool) are rarely used. By eliminating the current fees and establishing an hourly fee per water polo tank, it will simplify user understanding and administration of the fees. The proposed Water Polo Tank fee is consistent with the Recreation Swim Team Meet fee due to the similarity in pool space and amenities utilized.
(5) Propose to increase all remaining San Ramon Olympic Pool and Aquatic Park and Dougherty Valley Aquatic Center Special Event by 3.8% and rounded to simplify user group understanding and administering of fees.
The only fees that this increase would not be applied to are:
11.4 Packet Pg. 312
i. The equipment fee for the rental of the Colorado Computer as this is related to a fixed cost for use of the equipment.
ii. The parking permit fee for the San Ramon Olympic Pool as this is related to a fixed cost for materials and resources required to issue permits.
iii. The private rental group fees as there is little demand for this service and City prices are comparable to the industry standard.
The proposed increase will help keep pace with required maintenance costs of the facilities, continued increases in utility costs, and increased staff rates due to increased minimum wage. A fee survey conducted of similar agencies throughout the State of California, concluded City Pool or Aquatic Center Special Event fees are higher on average than the standard. However, the services and amenities provided are of greater value than comparable facilities. The proposed increase of 3.8% is in line with the Bay Area CPI-U for October 2021.
19. Increase Hourly Gymnasium Fees
Fiscal impact: Estimated revenue increase of $7,500
(1) Propose to increase all Gymnasium Rental fees by 3.8% and round to the nearest whole dollar.
For Residents, individual Floor hourly rates would increase from $66.00 to $69.00 For Residents, Main Floor, hourly rates would increase from $129.00 to $134.00 For Non-Residents, individual Floor hourly rates would increase from $91.00 to $95.00
For Non-Residents, Main Floor, hourly rates would increase from $179.00 to $186.00
For Co-Sponsored, individual Floor hourly rates would increase from $41.00 to $43.00
For Co-Sponsored, Main Floor, hourly rates would increase from $79.00 to $82.00
Staff recommends a 3.8% increase to keep pace with required maintenance costs associated with the facilities, as well as to offset rising staff rates due to increased minimum wage.
There is heightened demand for gym use, especially over the past 6 months when the City of San Ramon re-opened the gymnasiums after the COVID-19 pandemic. During Fall and Winter of 2021, the gymnasium was booked with very limited space available Monday through Friday.
20. Gymnasium Special Event Fee
Fiscal impact: Estimated revenue increase of $6,000
11.4 Packet Pg. 313
(1) Propose addition of a Gymnasium Special Event fee rate of Special Event Daily Rate + hourly rate fee.
For Residents, Floor A, B or C, hourly rates would increase from $66.00 to $69.00 + $221.00 Special Event Daily Rate
For Residents, Main Floor, hourly rates would increase from $129.00 to $134.00 + $221.00 Special Event Daily Rate
For Non-Residents, Floor A, B or C, hourly rates would increase from $91.00 to $95.00 + $221.00 Special Event Daily Rate
For Non-Residents, Main Floor, hourly rates would increase from $179.00 to $186.00 + $221.00 Special Event Daily Rate
For Co-Sponsored, Floor A, B or C, hourly rates would increase from $41.00 to $43.00 + $221.00 Special Event Daily Rate
For Co-Sponsored, Main Floor, hourly rates would increase from $79.00 to $82.00 + $221.00 Special Event Daily Rate
Currently, Gymnasium Special Events are required to pay 20% of their gross revenue per event.
Obtaining validated registration and financial records of each private event has been unsuccessful. In an attempt to simplify this process for staff and users, Staff is recommending to eliminate the 20% fee and replace it with a Special Event Daily rate. In addition to the Special Event Daily rate, users will be required to pay the hourly rate for each floor reserved. The proposed fees follow the same pricing methodology as events held on the fields and will allow users to know the cost prior to the event and staff to ensure the correct total is collected for each rental. Staff believes that the proposed fees will increase usage and make the process more effective for users and the City.
STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
Staff will set the item for public hearing and adoption at the April 26, 2022 meeting.
