PEER COMPARISON SURVEY RESULTS ......................................................................... 3
CHAPTER 1. Stakeholder Outreach
MGT conducted two outreach sessions with external stakeholders at the beginning of the user fee study.
The goal of each outreach was to obtain feedback from customers on the current fee schedule.
Qualtrics Online Survey
A Qualtrics survey was launched on the City’s website on August 15, 2022 , and initially closed on September 6, 2022. The survey was provided in both English and Spanish. The intent of the survey was to gather stakeholder feedback on the City’s Planning and Building fees, to determine if there are areas where subsidies should be considered and if there is a need to restructure how fees are being charged.
The survey contained 16 questions.
The City received 145 responses in English and 2 in Spanish. The City requested that the survey be activated again to see if any additional responses could be collected. MGT reopened the survey on October 14, 2022, and closed it on October 31, 2022. In total, the City received 156 responses in English and 2 in Spanish.
The results of both outreach sessions were shared with the department’s leadership and taken into consideration when restructuring the current fee structure.
In person development stakeholder meeting was held on May 31, 2023 Prior to this meeting, the city sent out the Qualtrics survey mentioned above. The intent of the survey was to gather stakeholder feedback on the City’s current Planning and Development fees in order to determine if there are areas where subsidies should be considered and if there is a need to restructure how fees are being charged (excludes impact fees). The city then held an in person stakeholder meeting to present their proposed structural changes to stakeholders before finalizing their recommendations.
The meeting allowed development stakeholders the opportunity to see the draft results of the fee study and provide comments on the structure and recommendations before it is presented to the City Council for final adoption.
This in-person meeting provided a very small turnout. Those that did attend the meeting did not express any concerns regarding the revised fee structure. The comments primarily focused on how the City would charge fees for projects that were currently in progress.
CHAPTER 2. Peer Comparison Survey
The purpose of a peer comparison survey is to provide the city a sense of the local market pricing for services, and to use that information to gauge the impact of recommendations for fee adjustments. MGT worked with the City of Santa Rosa’s staff to identify the list of fees that would be part of the peer
comparison survey. The following peer jurisdictions were included as part of the comparison survey for Building fees: City of Petaluma, San Rafael, Vacaville, Rohnert Park and Napa. The building prototype comparison also incorporated Sonoma County. The fee amounts were determined by the jurisdictions published fee schedules at the time of the survey. It should be noted that many of the comparison agencies are currently going through their own fee studies and may have changed their fees since the time the peer survey was conducted.
It is good to keep in mind that comparison surveys don’t always provide a “apples to apples” comparison of the fee. When comparing fees there are several key factors to keep in mind:
• When was the last time that agency updated their fees? • We don’t know if the agency has set their fees below full cost recovery. • Salaries and benefits can vary from agency to agency and can impact the cost of services. • Often fee structures can differ, and a comparison is only and estimate of the fee that may be charged.
In general, a comparison survey paints only part of the picture and can only provide a high -level comparison. Results of the survey can be seen in Appendix A of this report.
