CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: March 26, 2024
TO: City Council/City Manager
FROM: Kelly Sessions, Administrative Services Director
By: Kelly Sessions, Administrative Services Director
SUBJECT: Cost Allocation Plan and User Fee Study
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive the report and provide direction to staff and the project consultants.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
As part of the City’s ongoing commitment to prudent financial management and effective resource allocation, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) in July 2023 seeking qualified consulting firms to conduct a User Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan. The purpose of the study was to evaluate time and cost assumptions to determine the full cost (direct and indirect) of providing City services based upon the current organizational structure and processes. Such a study is essential for enhancing transparency, for establishing a legally defensible position in moving towards full cost recovery in the provision of City services, and for improving ongoing financial sustainability. Consequently, Matrix Consulting Group was selected as the vendor and put under contract for $75,000 with the charge to finish the report in time to incorporate any updated fees into the FY 2024/25 budget process.
The requested services involve updating the Schedule of Fees and Charges (“Fee Resolution”) of each department, identifying additional service fees charged by other surrounding cities that are not currently part of the existing Fee Resolution, and developing a fully-burdened staff hourly rate. Although the City had never before conducted a comprehensive citywide fee analysis, the City had conducted smaller scale departmental reviews as it did in 2017 for Planning and Engineering fees, as well as annual internal reviews to update user fees as a means of offsetting inflation costs.
Utilizing the widely accepted “bottom-up” approach to cost analysis, the Matrix project team analyzed the cost-of-service relationships that exist between fees for service activities in the following areas: General Fees, Building & Safety, Planning Services, Public Works, Police Services, and Parks & Community Services. The results of this study provide an updated understanding of current service levels and the maximum justifiable cost for those services.
Not every fee in the Fee Resolution was reviewed by Matrix. Some fees are set internally, such as recreation fees and building rental fees set by Parks and Community Services; these fees are
2.1 Packet Pg. 4
included for your review but were not calculated as part of the potential new revenue. The other fees outside the scope of the Matrix update, such as development impact fees, will be reviewed at a later date.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
When comparing FY 2023/24 fee-related expenditures with fee-related revenue, the City is spending $7.2 million in services, but only recovering $5.7 million (79%) in revenue, thus underrecovering costs by approximately $1.5 million, or 21%. At $1.2 million, Building & Safety has the largest dollar value deficit, which is primarily due to valuation-based fees. Lower deficits were expected for Planning and Public Works as those fees were evaluated more recently in 2017 and their deficits are due to changes in hourly rates. The decision to charge 100 percent full cost recovery or something lower is a policy decision to be made only by the City Council with input from City staff and the community.
STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
1. This report is for informational purposes only-this is not an action item. Matrix and City staff will receive input and direction from the City Council during this workshop.
2. During the regular City Council meeting tonight (March 26, 2024), staff will introduce the Fee Resolution and set a date for the Public Hearing on April 23, 2024.
3. The Public Hearing will be held on April 23, 2024, and the entire Fee Resolution updated with City Council input from the workshop will be brought before Council for adoption.
4. Should Council want to have additional discussion before adoption, a second workshop can be scheduled before the April 23rd Public Hearing.

1. Introduction and Executive Summary
The draft report, which follows, presents the results of the Cost of Services (User Fee) Study conducted by the Matrix Consulting Group for the City of San Ramon, California.
Project Background and Overview
The City of San Ramon has not conducted a comprehensive fee analysis. In 2017, the City conducted a review of its Planning and Engineering fees and has since updated its fees as a means to offset annual inflation costs. The purpose of this study was to evaluate time and cost assumptions and determine the full cost (direct and indirect) of providing City services based upon the current organizational structure and processes. The project team analyzed the cost-of-service relationships that exist between fees for service activities in the following areas: General Fees, Building & Safety, Planning Services, Public Works, Police Services, and Parks & Community Services. The results of this Study provide an updated understanding of current service levels and the maximum justifiable cost for those services.
General Project Approach and Methodology
The methodology employed by the Matrix Consulting Group is a widely accepted “bottom up” approach to cost analysis, where time spent per unit of fee activity is determined for each position within a Department or Division. Once time spent for a fee activity is determined, all applicable City costs are then considered in the calculation of the “full” cost of providing each service. The following table provides an overview of the types of costs included in establishing the “full” cost of services provided by the City:
Table 1: Overview of Cost Components
Cost Component Description
Direct Fiscal Year 2024 Budgeted salaries, benefits, and allowable expenditures.
Indirect Division, departmental, and Citywide support.
Together, the cost components in the table above comprise the calculation of the total “full” cost of providing any particular service, regardless of whether a fee for that service is charged.
The work accomplished by the Matrix Consulting Group in the analysis of fees for service involved the following steps:

Attachment: A: Draft Report on Cost of Services (User Fee) Study (4277 : Report on Cost of Services (User Fee) Study) DRAFT Cost of Services (User Fee) Study Report City of San Ramon, CA Matrix Consulting Group 2
• Department / Division Staff Interviews: The project team interviewed department / division staff regarding their needs for clarification to the structure of existing fee items, or for addition of new fee items.
• Data Collection: Data was collected for each permit / service, including time estimates. In addition, all budgeted costs and staffing levels for Fiscal Year 2024 were entered into the Matrix Consulting Group’s analytical software model. • Cost Analysis: The full cost of providing each service included in the analysis was established.
• Review and Approval of Results with City Staff: Department and City management has reviewed and approved these documented results.
A more detailed description of user fee methodology, as well as legal and policy considerations are provided in subsequent chapters of this report.
Summary of Results
When comparing FY24 fee-related expenditures with fee-related revenue, the City is under-recovering its costs by approximately $1.5 million or recovering 79% of its costs.
The following table shows by major service area: the revenue collected, the total annual cost, the resulting difference, and the resulting cost recovery percentage.
Table 2: Annual Cost Recovery Analysis
Service Area
Current
Revenue1
Fee-related
Cost2 Difference
Cost
Recovery %
Building & Safety $4,045,732 $5,231,607 ($1,185,875) 77% Planning Services $280,770 $486,458 ($205,688) 58%
Public Works $1,320,222 $1,453,031 ($132,809) 91%
Total $5,646,724 $7,171,096 ($1,524,372) 79%
Building & Safety at $1.2 million has the largest dollar value deficit, which is primarily due to valuation-based fees. Expanding the tiers and updating the ranges to better reflect cost of service will allow the city to achieve greater cost recovery. Lower deficits were expected for Planning and Public Works as those fees were evaluated more recently in 2017 and their deficits are due to changes in hourly rates.
The detailed documentation of this study will show an over-collection for some fees (on a per unit basis), and an undercharge for most others. The results of this analysis provide 1 This revenue is based on taking prior year workload information and multiplying it against current fees to calculate the projected revenue.
2 Fee-related cost represents for that same workload information multiplying it against the full cost calculated in the study. It will not tie to the total departmental expense, as it is meant to tie to the total fee-related cost incurred based upon application and permits processed.

each Department and the City with guidance on how to right-size their fees to ensure that each service unit is set at an amount that does not exceed the full cost of providing that service. The display of the cost recovery figures shown in this report are meant to provide a basis for policy development discussions among Council members and City staff, and do not represent a recommendation for where or how the Council should act. The setting of the “rate” or “price” for services, whether at 100 percent full cost recovery or lower, is a policy decision to be made only by the Council, with input from City staff and the community.
Considerations for Cost Recovery Policy and Updates
The Matrix Consulting Group recommends that the City use the information contained in this report to make any necessary updates to their formal Cost Recovery policies and continue with their annual updates to fees for service. 1 Adopt a Formal Cost Recovery Policy
The Government Finance Officers Association’s (GFOA) best practices for Establishing Government Charges and fees state that governmental entities should adopt formal policies regarding charges and fees, which include the jurisdiction’s intention to recover the full cost or partial costs of providing services, sets forth circumstances under which the jurisdiction might set a charge or fee at less than or more than 100% of full cost, and outlines the considerations that might influence the jurisdiction’s pricing decision.
Matrix Consulting Group strongly recommends that the City adopt a formalized, individual cost recovery policy for each service area included in this Study. Whenever a cost recovery policy is established at less than 100% of the full cost of providing services, a known gap in funding is recognized and may then potentially be recovered through other revenue sources. Matrix Consulting Group considers a formalized cost recovery policy for various fees for service an industry Best Management Practice. 2 Continue Annual Fee Update / Increase Mechanism
The purpose of a comprehensive update is to completely revisit the analytical structure, service level estimates and assumptions, and to account for any major shifts in cost components or organizational structures that have occurred since the City’s previous analysis.
GFOA best practices for Establishing Government Charges and Fees states that governmental entities should review, and update charges and fees periodically based on factors such as the impact of inflation, other cost increases, adequacy of cost recovery, use of services, and the competitiveness of current rates to avoid large infrequent fee

increases. Therefore, it is recommended the City continue the practice of conducting comprehensive analyses every three to five years as this practice captures any changes to organizational structure, processes, code amendments, as well as any new service areas.
In between comprehensive updates, the City should continue to utilize published industry economic factors such as Consumer Price Index (CPI) or other regional factors to update the cost calculations established in the Study on an annual basis. Utilizing an annual increase mechanism ensures that the City receives appropriate fee increases that reflect growth in costs. This annual increase factor should be consistent across all departments / services and be agreed upon by City Council.

2. Legal Framework and Policy Considerations
This section of the report is intended to provide an overview regarding overall legal rules and regulations as well as general policy considerations for fees for service. A “user fee” is a charge for service provided by a governmental agency to a public citizen or group. In California, several constitutional laws such as Propositions 13, 4, and 218, State Government Codes 66014 and 66016, and more recently Prop 26 and the Attorney General’s Opinion 92-506 set the parameters under which the user fees typically administered by local government are established and administered. Specifically, California State Law, Government Code 66014(a), stipulates that user fees charged by local agencies “…may not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee is charged”.
General Principles and Philosophies Regarding User Fees Local governments are providers of many types of general services to their communities.
While all services provided by local government are beneficial to constituents, some services can be classified as globally beneficial to all citizens, while others provide more of a direct benefit to a specific group or individual. The following table provides examples of services provided by local government within a continuum of the degree of community benefit received:
Table 3: Services in Relation to Benefit Received
“Global” Community Benefit “Global” Benefit and an
Individual or Group Benefit Individual or Group Benefit • Police
• Park Maintenance
• Fire Suppression
• Parks and Recreation
• Fire Prevention
• Building Permits
• Planning and Zoning Approval
• Site Plan Review
• Engineering Development
Review
• Facility Rentals
Funding for local government is obtained from a myriad of revenue sources such as taxes, fines, grants, special charges, user fees, etc. In recent years, alternative tax revenues, which typically offset subsidies for services provided to the community, have become increasingly limited. These limitations have caused increased attention on user fee activities as a revenue source that can offset costs otherwise subsidized (usually) by the general fund. In Table 3, services in the “global benefit” section tend to be funded primarily through voter approved tax revenues. In the middle of the table, one typically finds a mixture of taxes, user fee, and other funding sources. Finally, in the “individual /
2.1.a
Packet Pg. 12
Attachment: A: Draft Report on Cost of Services (User Fee) Study (4277 : Report on Cost of Services (User Fee) Study) DRAFT Cost of Services (User Fee) Study Report City of San Ramon, CA Matrix Consulting Group 6
group benefit” section of the table, lie the services provided by local government that are typically funded almost entirely by user fee revenue.
The following are two central concepts regarding the establishment of user fees:
• Fees should be assessed according to the degree of individual or private benefit gained from services. For example, the processing and approval of a land use or building permit will generally result in monetary gain to the applicant, whereas Police services and Fire Suppression are examples of services that are essential to the safety of the community at large.
• A profit-making objective should not be included in the assessment of user fees.
In fact, California law requires that charges for service be in direct proportion to the costs associated with providing those services. Once a charge for service is assessed at a level higher than the actual cost of providing a service, the term “user fee” no longer applies. The charge then becomes a tax subject to voter approval.
Therefore, it is commonly accepted that user fees are established at a level that will recover up to, and not more than, the cost of providing a particular service.
General Policy Considerations Regarding User Fees
Undoubtedly, there are programs, circumstances, and services that justify a subsidy from a tax-based or alternative revenue source. However, it is essential that jurisdictions prioritize the use of revenue sources for the provision of services based on the continuum of benefit received.
Within the services that are typically funded by user fees, the Matrix Consulting Group recognizes several reasons why City staff or the Council may not advocate the full cost recovery of services. The following factors are key policy considerations in setting fees at less than 100 percent of cost recovery:
• Limitations posed by an external agency. The State or an outside agency will occasionally set a maximum, minimum, or limit the jurisdiction’s ability to charge a fee at all. An example includes time spent copying and retrieving public documents and / or transportation permits.
• Encouragement of desired behaviors. Keeping fees for certain services below full cost recovery may provide better compliance from the community. For example, if the cost of a permit for replacing a water heater in a residential home is higher than the cost of the water heater itself, many citizens will avoid pulling the permit.
2.1.a
Packet Pg. 13
Attachment: A: Draft Report on Cost of Services (User Fee) Study (4277 : Report on Cost of Services (User Fee) Study) DRAFT Cost of Services (User Fee) Study Report City of San Ramon, CA Matrix Consulting Group 7
• Benefit received by user of the service and the community at large is mutual.
Many services that directly benefit a group or individual equally benefit the community as a whole. Examples include Planning Design Review, historical dedications, and certain types of special events.
The Matrix Consulting Group recognizes the need for policies that intentionally subsidize certain activities. The primary goals of a User Fee Study are to provide a fair and equitable basis for determining the costs of providing services and to ensure that the City complies with State law.
Summary of Legal Restrictions and Policy Considerations Once the full cost of providing services is known, the next step is to determine the “rate” or “price” for services at a level which is up to, but not more than the full cost amount.
The City Council is responsible for this decision, which often becomes a question of balancing service levels and funding sources. The placement of a service or activity within the continuum of benefit received may require extensive discussion and at times fall into a “grey area”. However, with the resulting cost of services information from a User Fee Study, the City Council can be assured that the adopted fee for service is reasonable, fair, and legal. The City will need to review all fees for service in this analysis and where subsidies are identified increase them to reduce the deficit, and where overrecoveries are identified the fee must be reduced to be in compliance with the law.

3. User Fee Study Methodology
The Matrix Consulting Group utilizes a cost allocation methodology commonly known and accepted as the “bottom-up” approach to establishing User Fees. The term means that the cost is calculated for each fee or line-item individually based upon the level of effort associated with that particular fee. The following chart describes the components of a full cost calculation:
The following subsections discuss the two components of the basis of the full cost.
Time Estimation
Utilization of time estimates is a reasonable and defensible approach, especially since experienced staff members who understand service levels and processes unique to the City developed these estimates. The project team worked closely with City staff in developing time estimates with the following criteria:
• Estimates are representative of average times for providing services. Extremely difficult or abnormally simple projects are not factored in the analysis. • Estimates reflect the time associated with the position or positions that typically perform a service.
• Estimates provided by staff are reviewed and approved by the department / division, and often involve multiple iterations before a Study is finalized. • Estimates are reviewed by the project team for “reasonableness” against their experience with other agencies.
• Estimates are not based on time and motion studies, as they are not practical for the scope of services and time frame for this project.
• Estimates match the current or proposed staffing levels to ensure there is no overallocation of staff resources to fee and non-fee related activities.

The Matrix Consulting Group agrees that while the use of time estimates is not perfect, it is the best alternative available for setting a standard level of service on which to base a jurisdiction’s fees for service while meeting the requirements of California law.
The alternative to time estimating is actual time tracking, often referred to billing on a “time and materials” basis. Except in the case of anomalous or sometimes very large and complex projects, the Matrix Consulting Group believes this approach to not be cost effective or reasonable for the following reasons:
• Accuracy in time tracking is compromised by the additional administrative burden required to track, bill, and collect for services in this manner. • Additional costs are associated with administrative staff’s billing, refunding, and monitoring deposit accounts.
• Customers often prefer to know the fees for services in advance of applying for permits or participating in programs.
• Departments can better predict revenue streams and staff needs using standardized time estimates and anticipated permit volumes.
Situations arise where the size and complexity of a given project warrants time tracking and billing on a “time and materials” basis. The Matrix Consulting Group has recommended taking a deposit and charging Actual Costs for such fees as appropriate and itemized within the current fee schedule.
Fully Burdened Hourly Rates
The fully burdened hourly rates calculated through this study include the following components:
• Salaries: FY24 Budgeted salaries were utilized and consolidated at the positional level.
• Benefits: FY24 Budgeted benefits were utilized and consolidated at the positional level.
• Productive Hours: Based upon the bargaining agreements and memorandum of understanding (MOU), working or productive hours were calculated. This means

taking the 2,080 starting hours and reducing the hours by vacation, sick, holidays, trainings, and administrative leave.
• Departmental / Divisional Overhead: This captures any internal service charges or operating supply costs such as vehicles, supplies, etc. Additionally, this component includes the cost associated with support from Director, Administrative and Analytical staff that do not directly work on fees. • Citywide Overhead: This captures support provided by City Council, City Clerk, City Attorney, Human Resources, Finance, and IT. The costs are based upon the FY24 indirect cost allocation plan, which was provided to the City under separate cover.
Together these components result in the generation of fully burdened hourly rates by position / classification and / or department / division. These rates were multiplied against the time assumptions to calculate the full cost of services noted in this report.

4. Results Overview
The motivation behind a cost of services (User Fee) analysis is for the City and Departmental staff to maintain services at a level that is both accepted and effective for the community, and also to maintain control over the policy and management of these services.
It should be noted that the results presented in this report are not a precise measurement.
In general, a cost-of-service analysis takes a “snapshot in time”, where a fiscal year of financial and operational information is utilized. Changes to the structure of fee names, along with the use of time estimates allow only for a reasonable projection of subsidies and revenue. Consequently, the City and Department staff should rely conservatively upon these estimates to gauge the impact of implementation going forward.
Discussion of results in the following chapters is intended as a summary of extensive and voluminous cost allocation documentation produced during the Study. Each chapter will include detailed cost calculation results for each major permit category including the following:
• Modifications: discussions regarding any proposed revisions to the current fee schedule, including elimination or addition of fees.
• “Per Unit” Results: comparison of the full cost of providing each unit of service to the current fee for each unit of service (where applicable). • Annualized Results: utilizing annual projected estimates of fee-related activities overall annual subsidies and revenue impacts were projected.
The full analytical results were provided to City staff under separate cover from this summary report.

5. General Fees
The General Fee category encompasses fees for services which are applied Citywide, such as, photocopies, marriage ceremony, subpoenas, subordination, etc. While these services can be applied Citywide, the City Clerk’s Office is responsible for processing and administering these fees. The following subsections discuss fee schedule modifications and detail per unit results for each major service area.
Fee Schedule Modifications
In discussions with staff, it was determined that the federally set passport fees would be added to the fee schedule as the City will be providing these services. This modification ensures that the proposed fee schedule more accurately reflects the services currently being provided.
Detailed Results
The total cost calculated for each service includes direct staff costs and Departmental and Citywide overhead. The following table details the fee name, current fee, total cost, and difference associated with each service offered.

In discussions with staff, the following modifications were proposed to the current fee schedule:
• Modified Fees: Currently, demolition permits are based on valuation, it was proposed to have these fees charged as flat fees, as the valuation of a project does not influence the time spent by staff to administer these permits. • Expanded Fees: Currently, the valuation table includes incremental tiers up to $1 million and any project valued greater than $1 million is priced using a base plus per $1,000 multiplier. It’s proposed to expand the table to include tiered costs up to $100 million, along with subsequent per $1,000 multipliers. This modification will more accurately capture the project complexity and staff time spent reviewing, inspecting, and administering the current permits processed by the community.
The proposed modifications streamline the fee schedule and ensure it more accurately reflects the current services provided by the Division.

Building under-recovers for the majority of its fees. The largest deficits are in relation to miscellaneous and trade permits, as it relates to remodels and swimming pools and spas.
Code Enforcement primarily under-recovers, ranging from a low of $15 for ‘Administrative Costs Pertaining to Violations of the Sign Ordinance’ to a high of $551 for ‘Administrative Hearing’. Over-recoveries are in relation to ‘Record Special Assessment’ and ‘Billing’ at $19, ‘City ‘City Council Approval of Contract’ at $3, and ‘Filing a Special Assessment’ at $2.
Detailed Results – Valuation Based Fees – Inspection & Plan Check
Building & Safety collects fees based on valuation for all services which are not associated with flat fees, including permits for new construction, remodels, additions, and more. Additionally, a percentage of the permit fee is used to account for plan check, and a percentage of the plan check fee is used to account for aspects of plan check which are required by state laws. The total cost calculated for each service includes direct staff costs and Departmental and Citywide overhead. The following table details by valuation category the current fee, total cost, and difference associated with each tier.

Overall, the Building Division under-recovers for valuation-based fees. By expanding the valuation table, the City has the mechanism to more accurately capture costs on projects that increase in complexity. With this type of modification, it is not uncommon to see the base fees under-recover and the incremental multiplier over-recover.
Along with determining costs associated with inspection services, the project team also worked with Building staff to determine appropriate plan check costs. Currently, the City charges a plan check fee of 65% of the building permit fee. Based upon a detailed review of time estimates provided to review plans for each valuation range this analysis showed that Plan Check should be 55% of the permit fee.
Annual Revenue Impacts
Based on the prior year’s workload information, and current fee-related expenditures, annual cost recovery was evaluated. The following table shows by major fee category:
revenue at current fee, total projected cost, and the resulting difference.

Fee Category

Cost Difference
Valuation Based Fees $2,610,310 $3,425,613 ($815,303)
Flat Fees $1,435,422 $1,805,994 ($370,572)
Total $4,045,732 $5,231,607 ($1,185,875)
Building & Safety has an annual cost recovery of 77%, which translates to roughly a $1.2 million deficit. The largest deficit is for valuation-based fees. This is in relation to permits valued between $50,000 to $100,000 as that category has a large per unit deficit. By expanding the tiers, more detailed time assumptions are utilized to create a defensible nexus between services rendered and fees charged.
Of the $371,000 flat fee deficit, $176,000 is due to the deficit associated with ‘Permit Issuance’. The City currently imposes a $40 issuance fee on all permits, the full cost was calculated to be $84, resulting in a $44 per unit difference. Due to the large amount of permits administered even a small increase to this fee would impact cost recovery.

It is important to note that the revenue and total cost shown here includes projects that may span multiple fiscal years; hence the $5.2 million is not reflective of annual cost, but the total cost for providing those services.

7. Planning Services
The Planning Services division is responsible for ensuring current and future development aligns with the City’s General Plan, Specific Plans, and Zoning Ordinance.
As such, the fees examined within this study relate to zoning, subdivisions, development plans, appeals, etc. Additionally, this Department handles business licensing within the City. The following subsections discuss fee schedule modifications and detailed per unit results for the fee-related services provided by Planning & Business Licensing.
Fee Schedule Modifications
In discussions with staff, the following modifications to the Department’s fee schedule were proposed:
• New Fees: ‘Urban Lot Split’, ‘Tree Removal Permit – Subdivision’, and ‘New Business License Listing’ were proposed to be added as these are services currently being provided by staff, but there is no specific fee category. • Expanded Fees: It was proposed to expand the ‘Short-Term Rental Registration’ fee into two categories; ‘New’ and ‘Renewal’, as the type of registration impacts the amount of time spent by staff to review and administer the permits.
The proposed modifications more accurately reflect the current services provided by the Division.
Detailed Results – Flat Fees
Planning Services collects flat fees for architectural review, conceptual development plans, temporary use permits, notices, tree removals, and business licenses. The total cost calculated for each service includes direct staff costs and Departmental and Citywide overhead. The following table details the fee name, current fee, total cost, and difference associated with each service offered.

Overall, it is recommended to raise all deposit amounts to compensate for the higher hourly wages of staff members involved in permit review and to cover the additional time required for reviewing due to new municipal and state regulations.
The concept behind deposit-based fees is that they are fully recoverable, as staff will fully bill for the time it takes to complete the project. However, in order for deposit-based fees to achieve cost recovery, it is important for staff to bill at the appropriate hourly rate.
Through this study, a blended, fully burdened rate of $330 was developed for Planning staff, and that should be utilized to bill against any deposit-based fees.
Annual Revenue Impacts
Based on the prior year’s workload information, and current fee-related expenditures, annual cost recovery was evaluated. The following table shows by major fee category:
revenue at current fee, total projected annual cost, and the resulting difference.

Flat Fees $101,520 $176,640 ($75,120)
Total $280,770 $355,890 ($75,120)
Planning Services has an annual cost recovery of 58%, which translates to roughly a $75,000 deficit. As discussed, deposit-based fees do not show a difference as the assumption that there is full cost recovery.
Roughly half of the difference is accounted for by ‘Development Plan Amendment (Changes to Site Plan and/or Sq. Ft.) – Administrative Review’ ($24,000) and ‘Home Occupation Permit’ ($19,000). Currently, the City imposes a $1,500 fee per administrative review of Development Plan amendments, the full cost of this review was calculated to be $3,196, resulting in a per unit deficit of $1,696. Since these types of reviews are not common but are staff time intensive, adjusting the fee to more closely match the calculated full cost would result in higher cost recovery with minimal impact to applicants.

8. Public Works
The Public Works Department is responsible for the daily upkeep and maintenance of City owned and operated facilities and infrastructure. These responsibilities are administered by the City’s Engineering and Public Services Divisions. The fees examined within this study relate to oversight and permitting of improvements that affect the public right of way and public infrastructure, including, encroachments, site development, minor and major subdivisions, mapping services, and more. The following subsections discuss fee schedule modifications and detailed per unit results for the fee-related services provided by Public Works.
Fee Schedule Modifications
In discussions with staff, it was determined that the fees under the Plans / Maps / Prints / Reproduction Stencils / Standard Details would be removed as the City now provides all of these via email. The proposed modifications more accurately reflect the current services provided by the Department.
Detailed Results – Flat Fees
Both Engineering and Public Services collect flat fees for encroachments, site development, mapping services, and others. The total cost calculated for each service includes direct staff costs and Departmental and Citywide overhead. The following table details the fee name, current fee, total cost, and difference associated with each service offered.

Total $1,320,222 $1,453,031 ($132,809)
Public Works has an annual cost recovery of 91%, which translates to roughly a $133,000 deficit. Public Work – Engineering currently charges $160 per hour for ‘Encroachment Permit’ applications and inspections. Through this analysis, the project team calculated the new per hour fee to be $250 for applications and $237 for inspections, resulting in a respective $90 and $77 per unit deficit. Given that the division predominantly charges fees on an hourly basis, aligning the charged rates more closely with the actual costs identified in this analysis will significantly help in narrowing the cost recovery gap.

9. Police
The Police Department is responsible for maintaining and enforcing public safety within the community. The fees examined within this study relate to fingerprinting, records, release of towed vehicles, taxicab and massage parlor permits, etc. The following subsections discuss fee schedule modifications and detailed per unit results for the feerelated services provided by Public Services.
Fee Schedule Modifications
In discussions with staff, the following modifications were proposed to the current fee schedule:
• New Fees: The following three fees were proposed for addition to the fee schedule as they highlight services the Department currently offers but has not been codified on their fee schedule:
- ‘Management Review Fee (Captain)’
- ‘Concealed Carry Weapons Application’
- ‘Special Event Staffing - Management Fee’
• Expanded Fees: It was proposed to expand ‘Police Reports’ to include a ‘Police Report – Redacted’ category.
The proposed modifications streamline the fee schedule and ensure it more accurately reflects the current services provided by the Department.
Detailed Results
Police Services collects fees for fingerprinting, records, release of towed vehicles, taxicab and massage parlor permits, and others. The total cost calculated for each service includes direct staff costs and Departmental and Citywide overhead.

10. Parks & Community Services
The Parks & Community Services Department is responsible for providing residents and visitors with cultural events, recreational activities, and educational opportunities. The Department organizes, advertises, and manages these services across various programs.
The following points provide an overview of each program:
• Facilities is responsible for maintaining and coordinating the rentals of facilities, sports fields, and park amenities and overseeing the operations of the community garden.
• Aquatics is responsible for managing the City’s aquatic facilities and offering feebased programs, encompassing swim lessons, lifeguard training, pool rental, and recreational and lap swim.
• Arts and Marketing is responsible for coordinating the rental, school use, and City use of the Theaters and curating and supervising an array of visual and performing arts classes, camps, events, and exhibits throughout the City. • Youth Enrichment and Sports is responsible for creating and administering a variety of fee based preschool, youth and teen classes, camps, activities, and sports classes, camps and leagues for both youth and adults designed to engage and benefit the health and wellness of the community.
• Senior / Adult Programs is responsible for managing and providing a diverse array of programs, classes, and events tailored specifically for the senior and adult members of the community.
• Historic Property and Nature Programs is responsible for orchestrating activities that celebrate, safeguard, and educate the community about the rich historical and natural sites unique to San Ramon.
• Special Events and Community Celebrations is responsible for the implementation of city sponsored community events and facilitating events put on by other entities.
Like most cities, San Ramon assesses most of their fees within each program on a tiered basis, proportionate to the benefit provided to the community. Depending on where the applicant falls on the tiered system, their fee(s) will vary based on the associated cost recovery goal for that group.
2.1.a
Packet Pg. 43
Attachment: A: Draft Report on Cost of Services (User Fee) Study (4277 : Report on Cost of Services (User Fee) Study) DRAFT Cost of Services (User Fee) Study Report City of San Ramon, CA Matrix Consulting Group 37
When it comes to facility rentals, San Ramon categorizes applicants into three primary groups: Non-Profit, Resident, and Private Non-Resident or Commercial. These categories are industry standard and allow the department to provide specific benefits to residents of their community.
For those seeking to rent sports fields, the classification expands to five categories: Cosponsored Youth, Co-sponsored Adult, Resident, Non-Resident, and For-Profit Camp/Tournament. Similar to the facility rentals, these categories are fairly common for field rentals across many agencies. The concept is that there is greater community benefit for co-sponsored programs as they are open to all versus the more competitive based and for profit programs that cater to the best players in each sport.
Recreation and Facility rental fees are classified as market driven due to their optional nature. Residents have the choice of utilizing the programs and facilities within their own community or those of a neighboring city. Given this, while the project team worked with parks and recreation staff to review costs associated special event applications and banner permits the majority of this section of the report focuses on highlighting overall programmatic cost recoveries.
The following subsections provide an overview of the legal framework for recreational fees, per unit results for various user fees, a cost recovery analysis of San Ramon’s Parks & Community Services Department at the programmatic level, as well as a review of their user fees that are subject to Proposition 218 and 26.
Parks & Recreation Legal Framework
There are specific rules and regulations within California State Law that impact Parks and Recreation related activities directly. These can be separated into two categories – rental rates and recreation programs. The following points provide further information regarding these items:
1. Rental Rates: One of the exceptions to the tax category under proposition 26 is a charge imposed for entrance to or use of local government property, or the purchase, or rental, or lease of local government property15. There is no requirement that these rates must be limited to the cost of service, as they can be dependent upon a variety of features of the facility or park being rented.
2. Recreation Programs: Under Proposition 26, the exception to the tax category is a charge that is “imposed”. Based upon the League of California Cities implementation guide for Proposition 26, as well as other legal opinions, recreation 15 Proposition 26 Article XIII C(1)(e)(4)
2.1.a
Packet Pg. 44
Attachment: A: Draft Report on Cost of Services (User Fee) Study (4277 : Report on Cost of Services (User Fee) Study) DRAFT Cost of Services (User Fee) Study Report City of San Ramon, CA Matrix Consulting Group 38
classes, youth sports, adult sports, are not a charge that is “imposed upon residents”. Rather residents have the option to voluntarily participate in those programs and utilize a private entity (non-governmental entity) for those activities.
Therefore, these rates are allowed to be set based upon the market options within the area rather than being restricted to the cost of service being provided.
Utilizing these two principals is key to understanding the results generated through this analysis. As such, when setting fees specific to Parks and Recreation fees do not need to be set at or under the cost of service, rather, fee amount(s) can and should be based upon the rates that the market can bear.
There are certain exceptions to this, and those are service-based fees. There are a handful of fees in the department that are subject to California state propositions that limit the fee to be based on the cost of the service.
Cost Recovery Analysis – Direct Expenses
The typical overall cost recovery for parks and recreation services is between 20-50%.
The low-cost recovery for these services is due to the fact that these services primarily benefit the community at large, and as such are providing a direct benefit to residents and the community.
Based on FY24 budgeted expenditures compared to FY24 revenues The Parks & Community Services Department recovers approximately 70% of its direct costs16 or has an annual direct subsidy of approximately $2.2 million. The following table shows by program: expenditures, revenue, and the resulting cost recovery percentage.

Packet Pg. 45
Attachment: A: Draft Report on Cost of Services (User Fee) Study (4277 : Report on Cost of Services (User Fee) Study) DRAFT Cost of Services (User Fee) Study Report City of San Ramon, CA Matrix Consulting Group 39
The largest cost recovery is for adult and youth sports at 125% and the lowest cost recovery at 26% is for Adult and Senior Enrichment. Of the $2.2 million subsidy, roughly $733,000 is for Special Programs and Events, and $630,000 for Cultural Arts. For Special Programs and events, the subsidy is largely driven due to the historic farm property program and for cultural arts it is in relation to the theater program. Per the SRVUSD Joint Use Agreement, the Dougherty Valley High school does not pay rental fees for theater use. These programs are generally subsidized due to them being more communityfocused rather than private benefit.
Other areas that are subsidized are due to partnerships provided by the department for social service programs such as Senior Meals, Senior Transportation, special needs programs, volunteer programs, and scholarships for economically disadvantaged youth.
Social service programs do not generate fees but benefit the community.
Currently, based on internal policies and discussions, the overall departmental costrecovery goal for Parks & Community Services is 50%17. The Parks and Community Services department currently recovers 70% of their direct costs.

In the previous section, the cost recovery only incorporated direct budgeted expenditures for the Department. However, various indirect costs are associated with the daily operations within the Department. The following points summarize the indirect cost components included in this analysis:
• Citywide: consists of indirect costs from other City departments, such as, Finance, Human Resources, City Manager, etc., who do not deal directly with fees but do support the staff who spend direct time on fees.
• Departmental / Administrative18: consists of indirect support from the administrative program within the Parks and Community Services Department as they provide administrative and managerial support to staff who spend direct time on fees.
The following table shows by Program, the Direct expenditures, the Departmental Overhead, and the Citywide Overhead:
17 Parks and Community Services Commission Staff Report February 8, 2023. 18 The current Administration Division budget includes Library operation costs. When allocating Administration costs, costs were allocated to the Library and all other programs. However, for purposes of this table, Library was excluded as there is no fee-related revenue shown for Library.

The $7.35 million turns into $10.76 million once indirect costs are included. Departmental overhead represents 25% of the total direct expenses, and Citywide Overhead is roughly 21%. The result of adding the direct and indirect costs together creates “fully burdened” expenditures, allowing for a more accurate comparison of cost recovery. The following table shows the cost recovery percentages at the programmatic level based upon comparing FY24 revenue to the calculated “fully burdened” expenditures.

Total $5,133,919 $10,756,538 ($5,622,619) 48%
With the inclusion of indirect expenses, the Department’s cost recovery percentage decreases from 70 to 48% and the dollar value of the deficit increases from $2.2 million to $5.6 million.
As discussed, the departmental cost-recovery goal for Parks & Community Services is 50%, at 48% with indirect expenses the department is only 2% below its internal goal. On a programmatic level, some programs more closely align with or exceed the goal (Facilities, Adult and Youth Sports, Aquatics, etc.) and other fall below it (Special Programs & Events, Adult & Senior Enrichment, etc.).
The Department should continue their evaluation of cost recovery levels. To ensure the continued stability and success of Parks & Community Services, city staff and management should consider a range of factors, including inflation, the necessity for

facility upgrades, and the varying popularity of programs. By doing so, the City will acknowledge the fluid nature of fee structures in parks and recreation services, which often shift in response to economic trends and public demand. Adjustments should aim to sustain the quality and accessibility of park facilities and recreational services, striking a balance between affordability for users and generating sufficient revenue for operations and enhancements.
Additionally, the City should continue its internal best practice of setting rates based upon a market-rate analysis conducted of comparable organizations and jurisdictions. This ensures that fees are based upon what the market can bear and programs continue to be utilized by residents.
Service Based Fees
While a majority of Parks & Community Service’s fees are market driven, a handful of their fees are service based, as such, they are contingent on prop 218 and 26 and their fee cannot supersede the actual cost to the City for providing the service. The project team worked with City staff to evaluate these fees and provide documentation on the total cost of services.
Modifications
In discussion with City staff, it was proposed to remove ‘Non-Permitted Special Events’ as this fee is encompassed under ‘Special Event Applications – Tier I’. This modification ensures consistency between scope of services offered and the documented fee schedule.
Detailed Results
The total cost calculated for each service includes direct staff costs and Departmental and Citywide overhead. The following table details the fee name, current fee, total cost, and difference associated with each service offered.

Parks & Community Services under-recover on all of their fees. The largest deficit is in relation to ‘Special Event Permit Applications – Tier III’ at $2,897. Overall, the calculated total cost shows the maximum amount that can be imposed by the City for each service.
The department should review these fees and determine where appropriate to change fees.

11. Technology Fee Surcharge
A Technology Fee allows the City to support the costs associated with the City’s permitting system, staff time for managing the systems, acquiring the system, mobile devices used for permitting, etc. The City of San Ramon currently assesses a Technology surcharge fee based upon a tiered structure only on Building Permits.
The project team worked with City staff to gather information on the different types of software systems that are in use. The following table shows by cost category the annual cost:
Table 19: Annual Technology Cost Calculation
Cost Category Estimated Cost Years Annual Cost
Bluebeam $4,000 1 $4,000
Annual Permitting System $65,500 1 $65,500
Permit System Replacement $1,500,000 10 $150,000
Total Technology Costs $219,500
The annual technology-related costs are approximately $219,500 for the City of San Ramon.
The most defensible methodology for assessing the fee is to charge the fee based proportionately on the percentage of the permit fee: the greater the permit fee, the greater the Technology Fee, as there is more software utilization and storage space for larger projects. Therefore, the project team took the total Annual Technology Cost and divided it by the annual fee-related revenue associated with Building and Planning. The following table shows this calculation:
Table 20: Technology Fee Calculation
Category Amount
Total Technology Annual Cost $219,500
Total Fee-Related Cost $57,718,065
Technology Fee as % of Permit Fee 3.8%
Based upon this calculation, the City’s full cost Technology Fee would be 3.8% of all Building and Planning permit fees. It is recommended that this fee would be assessed on all permits and applications. Therefore, if a permit fee were $100, the Technology Fee collected would be $3.80, whereas if a permit fee were $1,000, the Technology Fee collected would be $38.00. This type of structure enables the Technology Fee to be more proportionately distributed based on the projects and their impact on the system.

As part of this analysis, the project team conducted a comparative survey of other local jurisdictions and their assessment of a Technology Fee. Like other comparative efforts, the survey below shows the fees charged by the jurisdiction and does not include the basis upon which the other jurisdictions calculated or developed their fee. The following table shows the results of this comparative analysis:
Table 21: Technology Fee – Comparative Survey
Jurisdiction Fee Amount
Livermore 2% of Building Permit Fee
Pleasanton 5% of Permit Fees
Walnut Creek 5.75% of Permit Fee
Concord 10.5% of Permit Fees
Based upon the surveyed jurisdictions that charge a Technology Fee, the City’s 3.8% is in between the fees charged by Livermore and Pleasanton.
It is a best practice to collect and account for Technology surcharge in a separate account, as doing so ensures compliance with funding requirements, enables appropriate allocation of funds to technology-related activities, and mitigates any potential issues with the comingling of funds.

12. Cost Recovery Considerations
The following sections provide guidance regarding how and where to increase fees, determine annual update factors, and develop cost recovery policies and procedures.
Fee Adjustments
This study has documented and outlined on a fee-by-fee basis where the City is under and over collecting for its fee-related services. City and Department management will now need to review the results of the study and adjust fees in accordance with Departmental and City philosophies and policies. The following points outline the options the City has in adjusting its fees.
• Over-Collection: Upon review of the fees that were shown to be over-collecting for costs of services provided, the City should reduce the current fee to be in line with the full cost of providing the service.
• Immediate Increase to Full Cost Recovery: For fees that show an under-collection for costs of services provided, the City may decide to increase the fee to either (1) full cost recovery, or (2) the policy-driven fee cost recovery level of less than 100% of cost recovery.
• Phased Increase: For fees with significantly low-cost recovery levels, or which would have a significant impact on the community, the City could choose to increase fees gradually over a set period to either (1) full cost recovery, or (2) the policy-driven fee cost recovery level of less than 100% of cost recovery.
The City will need to review the results of the fee study and associated cost recovery levels and determine how best to adjust fees. While decisions regarding fees that currently show an over-recovery are fairly straight forward, the following subsections, provide further detail on why and how the City should consider either implementing Full Cost Recovery or a Phased Increase approach to adjusting its fees. 1 Full Cost Recovery
Based on the permit or review type, the City may wish to increase the fee to cover the full cost of providing services. Certain permits may be close to cost recovery already, and an increase to full cost may not be significant. Other permits may have a more significant increase associated with full cost recovery.
2.1.a
Packet Pg. 52
Attachment: A: Draft Report on Cost of Services (User Fee) Study (4277 : Report on Cost of Services (User Fee) Study) DRAFT Cost of Services (User Fee) Study Report City of San Ramon, CA Matrix Consulting Group 46
Increasing fees associated with permits and services that are already close to full cost recovery can potentially bring a Department’s overall cost recovery level higher. Often, these minimal increases can provide necessary revenue to counterbalance fees which are unable to be increased.
The City should consider increasing fees for permits for which services are rarely engaged to full cost recovery. These services often require specific expertise and can involve more complex research and review due to their infrequent nature. As such, setting these fees at full cost recovery will ensure that when the permit or review is requested, the City is recovering the full cost of its services.
2 Phased Increases
Depending on current cost recovery levels some current fees may need to be increased significantly in order to comply with established or proposed cost recovery policies. Due to the type of permit or review or the amount by which a fee needs to be increased, it may be best for the City to use a phased approach to reaching its cost recovery goals.
As an example, you may have a current fee of $200 with a full cost of $1,000, representing 20% cost recovery. If the current policy is 80% cost recovery, the current fee would need to increase by $600, bringing the fee to $800, in order to be in compliance. Assuming this particular service is something the City provides quite often and affects various members of the community, an instant increase of $600 may not be feasible. Therefore, the City could take a phased approach, whereby it increases the fee annually over a set period until cost recovery is achieved.
Raising fees over a set period of time not only allows the City to monitor and control the impact on applicants but also ensures that applicants have time to adjust to significant increases. Continuing with the example laid out above, the City could increase the fee by $150 for the next four years, spreading out the increase. Depending on the desired overall increase and the impact on applicants, the City could choose to vary the number of years by which it chooses to increase fees. However, the project team recommends that the City not phase increases for periods greater than five years, as that is the maximum window for which a comprehensive fee assessment should be completed.
Annual Adjustments
Conducting a comprehensive analysis of fee-related services and costs annually would be quite cumbersome and costly. The general rule of thumb for comprehensive fee analyses is between three and five years. This allows for jurisdictions to ensure they

Packet Pg. 53
Attachment: A: Draft Report on Cost of Services (User Fee) Study (4277 : Report on Cost of Services (User Fee) Study) DRAFT Cost of Services (User Fee) Study Report City of San Ramon, CA Matrix Consulting Group 47
account for organizational changes such as staffing levels and merit increases, as well as process efficiencies, code or rule changes, or technology improvements.
The City of San Ramon already utilizes an annual update factor based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or Construction Cost Index (CCI). The City should establish a singular increase factor, with the exception of impact fees, which should utilize a CCI. This practice should continue to ensure that the City continues to achieve its expected cost recovery goals.
Policies and Procedures
This study has identified areas where the City is under-collecting the cost associated with providing services. This known funding gap is, therefore, being subsidized by other City revenue sources. Development of cost recovery policies and procedures will serve to ensure that current and future decision makers understand how and why fees were determined and set, as well as provide a road map for ensuring consistency when moving forward. The following subsections outline typical cost recovery ranges and discuss the benefits associated with developing cost recovery goals and procedures for achieving and increasing cost recovery.
1 Typical Cost Recovery
The Matrix Consulting Group has extensive experience in analyzing local government operations across the United States and has calculated typical cost recovery ranges. The following table outlines these cost recovery ranges by major service area.
Table 22: Typical Cost Recovery Ranges by Major Service Area Service Areas Typical Cost Recovery Ranges
Building 80-100%
Planning 50-80%
Public Works 70-100%
Information presented in the table above is based on the Matrix Consulting Group’s experience in analyzing local governments’ operations across the United States and within California and reflects typical cost recovery ranges observed by local adopting authorities. The following graph depicts how San Ramon compares to industry cost recovery range standards.

Planning and Public Works are within the typical cost recovery range seen. Building at 77% is below the typical cost recovery range of 80%.
2 Development of Cost Recovery Policies and Procedures
The City should review the current cost recovery levels and adopt a formal policy regarding cost recovery. This policy can be general in nature and can apply broadly to the City as a whole, or to each department and division specifically. A department specific cost recovery policy would allow the City to better control the cost recovery associated with different types of services being provided and the community benefit received. 77%

Appendix – Comparative Survey
As part of the Cost of Services (User Fee) study for the City of San Ramon, the Matrix Consulting Group conducted a comparative survey of user fees. The City identified six jurisdictions to be included in the comparative survey: Concord, Danville, Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton, and Walnut Creek.
While this report will provide the City with a reasonable estimate and understanding of the true costs of providing services, many jurisdictions also wish to consider the local “market rates” for services as a means for assessing what types of changes in fee levels their community can bear. However, a comparative survey does not provide adequate information regarding the relationship of a jurisdiction’s cost to its fees.
The following sections detail various factors to consider when reviewing comparative survey results, as well as graphical comparisons of current fees and total calculated costs for various permits issued or services provided by the City. 1 Economic Factors
To provide additional context to the comparative survey information, the project team collected economic factors for the jurisdictions included. Three important economic factors to consider when comparing fees across multiple jurisdictions are: population, budget, and workforce size. The following tables rank each jurisdiction from smallest to largest for each of these economic factors:

Based on the data shown in the previous tables, the City of San Ramon ranks in the middle to low end of surveyed jurisdictions in terms of budget and FTE, but on the higher end of population.
2 Recency Factor
While the above comparative information can provide some perspective when paralleling San Ramon’s fees with surveyed jurisdictions, other key factors to consider are when a jurisdiction’s fee schedule was last updated and when the last comprehensive analysis was undertaken. The following tables detail when each surveyed jurisdiction last conducted a fee analysis and when they last updated their fee schedule.

It is important to note that even though jurisdictions may have conducted fee studies, fees are not always adopted at full cost recovery. The comparative results only show the adopted fee for the surveyed jurisdictions not necessarily the full cost associated with the comparable service.
3 Additional Factors
Along with keeping the statistics outlined in the previous sections in mind, the following issues should also be noted regarding the use of market surveys in the setting of fees for service:
• Each jurisdiction and its fees are different, and many are not based on the actual cost of providing services.
• The same “fee” with the same name may include more or less steps or subactivities. In addition, jurisdictions provide varying levels of service and have varying levels of costs associated with providing services such as staffing levels, salary levels, indirect overhead costs, etc.
In addition to the issues noted, market surveys can also run the risk of creating a confusing excess of data that will obscure rather than clarify policy issues. Because each jurisdiction is different, the Matrix Consulting Group recommends that the information contained in the market comparison of fees be used as a secondary decision-making tool, rather than a tool for establishing an acceptable price point for services. 20 The City of Dublin is currently undergoing a fee study.
