EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
STUDY OVERVIEW
The purpose of this study is to identify the City’s current cost of providing fee -related services and activities and to update the City’s Schedule of User and Regulatory Fees (fee schedule). Any fee updates adopted as part of this study are intended for use during Fiscal Year 202 6-27. Recovering the costs of providing fee - related services directly supports the City’s priority area of focus of delivering excellent City government via reliable funding.
The fee schedule is intended to be reviewed annually, with staff conducting bi ennial studies to identify the City’s cost of providing fee -related services based on current labor rates and service delivery methods. In the interim year, fees are typically adjusted to correspond to annual cost inflation.
Annual review and adjustment of fees provides multiple benefits, including:
• Increasing the availability of General Fund revenues to be used for services and activities available to all Santa Clara residents and businesses, such as public safety, public works, and parks services. • Keeping pace with general cost inflation.
• Avoiding fee spikes that are more likely to occur when municipalities leave fees unchanged for a multiyear period.
• Providing fee payers, city staff, and city policymakers with a pattern of consistency that provides information for forecasting and decision-making purposes. • Encouraging generational equity among fee payers by avoiding long -term stagnation of fees followed by significant fee increases.
Industry practice and fiscal conditions in the state have led most cities to link cost recovery for services of individual action, cause, or benefit to that same individual through user fee revenue, relieving the agency’s general revenues as much as possible for use toward services of broader community benefit.
USER AND REGULATORY FEES
Cities derive annual revenue from a number of sources. These include, but are not limited to, property taxes, sales taxes, license fees, franchise fees, fines, rents, and user and regulatory fees. User an d regulatory fees are inten ded to cover all, or a portion of, the costs incurred by the City for providing fee -related services an d activities th at are not otherwise provided to those not payin g the fee .
California law provides guidance regarding the amounts the City may charge for fee -related services and activities. Specifically, in order to avoid being considered taxes, the fees charged shall not exceed the estimated reason able c ost of providing th e services , activities, or materials for which fees are charged.
At its conclusion, this study proposes for City Council review and consideration at public hearing a new Schedule of F ees and Charges for application and continued update in subsequent years.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
COST RECOVERY POLICY AND PRACTICE
The services for which the City imposes a user or regulatory fee typically derive from an individual person or entity’s action, request, or behavior. Therefore, except in cases where there is an overwhelming public benefit generated by the City’s involveme nt in the individual action, a fee for service ensures that the individual bears most, if not all, of the cost incurred by the City to provide th at service . When a fee targets “100% or full cost recovery,” the individual is bearing the entirety of the cost. When a fee targets less than full cost recovery, another City revenue source – in most cases, the General Fund – subsidizes the individualized activity.
Generally, fees for servic e are targeted to full cost recovery, inclusive of operating, direct, indirect, and capital costs, except in cases wh ere the City Council cites a public interest in lower fees . The City may also be influenced by market conditions, comparing to municipalities of similar size and service profile.
Recovering the costs of providing fee -related services directly influences the City’s fiscal health and increases the City’s ability to meet the service level expectations of fee payers.
FEES EXAMINED AS PART OF THIS STUDY
Fees examined as part of this study include, but are not limited to:
• Planning Fees, such as entitlement review and review for compliance with the zoning code • Public Works Engineering Fees, such as encroachment and public improvement review • Building Fees, such as permitting of new construction or modifications to existing structures • Fire Fees, such as annual inspections conducted to ensure compliance with the fire code • Police Fees, such as vehicle impound and specialized license review • Utility Services Fees, such as requests for new water or electric meters
FEES , FINES, AND TAXES NOT EXAMINED
Fees, fines, and taxes NOT examined as part of this study include:
• Assessments
• Development Impact Fees
• Fines or Penalties
• Franchise Fees
• Taxes
• Utility Rates and Services Charges
These items are subject to different approval thresholds or are not subject to the same cost of service limitations as the fees examined as part of this study. Consequently, they are specifically excluded from the scope of this study.

PROJECT ORIENTATION
LEGISLATIVE GUIDANCE
The objectives of this study, the methodology used to complete the study, and the formulation of outcomes and recommendations for future consideration were significantly influenced by Article 13C of the California Constitution and Section 66014 of the California Government Code.
Article 13C states that the local government bears the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a levy, charge, or other exaction is not a tax, that the amount is no more than necessary to cover the reasonable costs of the governmental act ivity, and that the manner in which those costs are allocated to a payer bear a fair or reasonable relationship to the payer’s burdens on, or benefits received from, the governmental activity. Additionally, Article 13C identifies the following as items that are not defined as taxes:
A charge imposed for a specific benefit conferred or privilege granted directly to the payer that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of conferring the benefit or granting the privilege. A charge imposed for a specific government service or product provided directly to the payer that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of providing the service or product.
A charge imposed for the reasonable regulatory costs to a local government for issuing licenses and permits, performing investigations, inspections, and audits, enforcing agricultural marketing orders, and the administrative enforcement and adjudication thereof. A charge imposed for entrance to or use of local government property, or the purchase, rental, or lease of local government property.
A fine, penalty, or other monetary charge imposed by the judicial branch of government or a local government, as a result of a violation of law.
A charge imposed as a condition of property development. Assessments and property-related fees imposed in accordance with the provisions of Article XIII D.
Section 66014(a) of the California Government Code includes the following, “Notwithstanding any other provision of law, when a local agency charges fees for zoning variances; zoning changes; use permits; building inspections; building permits; …the processing of maps under the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act…; or planning services…; those fees may not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee is charged, unless a question regarding the amount of the fee charged in excess of the estimated reasonable cost of providing the services or materials is submitted to, and approved by, a popular vote of two-thirds of those electors voting on the issue.
The outcomes and recommendations of the study are intended to comply with applicable federal, state, and local laws including providing confirmation that the proposed fees (“charges”) recommended as a result of this study are not taxes as defined in Article 13C of the California Constitution and that the proposed fees are no more than necessary to the cover the reasonable costs of the City’s activities and services addressed in the fees. Additionally, this report is intended to show that the manner in which the costs are allocated to a payer bear a fair and reasonable relationship to the payer’s burdens on, or benefits received from the activities and services provided by the City.

PROJECT ORIENTATION
METHODOLOGY AND DATA SOURCES
This study calculated the estimated reasonable cost of providing various fee-related services across the City organization. Generally, the estimated reasonable cost of providing the fee -related services and activities examined in this study can be calculated as the product of the composite fully-burdened hourly labor rate of the division responsible for providing services and t he estimated labor time required to process a typical request for service. This calculation is illustrated in Exh ibit 1.
EXHIBIT 1 | COST OF SERVICE CALCULATION
A combination of sources was used to complete the analysis and develop the findings and recommendations of this study. The data sources include:
• Adopted revenue and expenditures budgets and personnel salary and benefit information. • Historical project volume and revenues from fees.
• Current schedule of fees for each department.
• Citywide cost allocation plan.
• Interviews with City staff.
Once cost of service levels are identified, the City may use this information to inform targeted cost recovery from fees. Fees set at the cost of service target full cost recovery. Fees set at any amount less than the cost of service target less than full cost recovery.
An illustration of the methods used in this analysis is shown in Exhibit 2.

PROJECT ORIENTATION
Appen dix I of this report appendices provide s detailed analytical findings from the study, including the amount of cost, or estimated cost, required to provide the services for which the fee or service charge is levied and the revenue sources anticipated to provide the service, including General Fund revenues. For any fees targeted to recover less than 100% of the estimated reasonable cost of service, it is anticipated that General Fund revenues of the City will fund the difference between the targeted recovery level and 100% recovery of the estimate d cost of service unless the fee -related services are provided by Enterprise Funds (e.g. Electric fees and Environmental Utilities fees). These amounts are identified in the appendi x.

IMPLEMENTATION
CONSIDERATIONS FOR IMPLEMENTATION
If the City decides to adopt or otherwise utilize outcomes generated through this study, it should:
Update System s for F ee Outc omes - Ensure that City staff begin using updated fees and associated outcomes once the updated schedule of fees becomes effective. Values should be included in all official fee schedules used throughout the City (e.g., departmental pamphlets, counter schedules, and online information). Additionally, ensure collections processes are updated, which may include coding in billing systems and training for personnel who handle fees directly with the public.
Actively Mon itor the Use of Fees - In order to recover accurate and eligible amounts expected, the City should be diligent about tracking time to projects for time and materials billings and ensuring fees are applied in the correct amount and using the correct and intended basis for fixed fee billings. Monitor Feedback and Permit Statistics - Monitor permit and application volume and applicant feedback to determine if fee modifications are resulting in any unanticipated changes in project frequency and to increase the level of detail available for revenue forecasting. Annually R eview and Adjust F ee Values - In order to generally maintain pace with regional cost inflation and/or the City's salary cost inflation, the City should continue to adjust its fees on an annual basis. A commonly used, reasonable inflation index is the annual change in the all -urban Consumer Price Index (CPI) representative of the region. Periodic ally Perform Compreh ensive An alysis – The City should continue to perform periodic fee studies to ensure fee levels remain at or below legal limits and are consistent with evolving service practices and local conditions.
