STAFF REPORT
Item No.: 7.B.
TO: City Council
FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Greg McDanel, City Manager
Dominique Davis, City Clerk
DATE: July 2, 2026
SUBJECT: RECEIVE A PRESENTATION AND DEMONSTRATION OF THE
CITY'S AI-POWERED PUBLIC SEARCH PORTAL DEVELOPED
WITH COMMON SENSE AI PRIOR TO LAUNCH (CITY MANAGER
GREG MCDANEL)
RECOMMENDATION
Receive a progress update and video demonstration regarding the City’s engagement with Common Sense AI, Inc. and development of an AI-powered public search portal to improve public access to information.
BACKGROUND
The City of Seaside entered into a Master Services Agreement with Common Sense AI, Inc. on February 6, 2026, to support implementation of an artificial intelligencepowered enterprise search platform, public information portal, and public records processing system designed to improve access to public information and streamline internal workflows. The platform is intended to address several operational challenges, including the time-intensive nature of public records requests, difficulty locating information across multiple systems, and limitations of existing public document portals.
The project includes tools for public records processing, internal enterprise search for City staff, and a public-facing information portal for residents and businesses.
DISCUSSION
Since execution of the agreement, the City has been working with Common Sense AI on implementation and system integrations. The project is being implemented in phases, beginning with enterprise search and public records workflow improvements, Packet Page 6
Item No. 7.B. Page 2 of 3
followed by development of the public-facing portal.
The AI-powered search system currently in development is intended to be integrated into the City’s website and allow users to search across multiple public information sources using plain-language questions. These sources may include City ordinances, meeting agendas and minutes, public documents, website content, and other public information repositories. The goal is to make City information easier to locate, improve transparency, and reduce staff time spent responding to routine information requests.
An additional benefit of the public-facing portal is the ability to support search inputs and outputs in multiple languages, which can improve accessibility for Seaside’s diverse community and expand access to City information. The system also uses natural language search technology, allowing users to ask questions in plain language and receive results with links to original source documents.
City staff continue to work with Common Sense AI on integrations with existing systems and data sources, and development of the public-facing search interface is underway.
Staff will return to the City Council with future updates as implementation progresses.
DEMONSTRATION
At the April 2, 2026, City Council meeting, a video demonstration will be presented showing the AI-powered search functionality and how users may search for City information through the City’s website.
FISCAL IMPACT
The agreement with Common Sense AI is in the amount of $22,500 for the AI-powered platform, implementation, integrations, training, and support. Funding for the agreement is included in the City’s adopted budget.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY
Effective Accessible Governance

FACILITIES ON LOCAL STREETS. THIS ACTION IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) PURSUANT TO SECTION 15061(b)(3) OF THE CEQA GUIDELINES (FIRST READING -
ROLL CALL VOTE)
Housing and Planning Manager Andrew Myrick presented a proposed ordinance amending Seaside Municipal Code Chapter 17.40 to allow electronic message display signs for places of worship and public and private meeting facilities located on local streets. Staff reviewed the history of the City’s sign regulations, noting that electronic message display signs were historically prohibited and later allowed in limited circumstances, but not on local streets. The presentation summarized existing sign standards, including restrictions related to traffic visibility, proximity to residences, animation, audio, illumination hours, dimming, height, and sign area.
Staff explained that the proposed amendment was prompted by a community request to replace an existing sign with an electronic message display board. The Planning Commission recommended allowing such signs under certain permitting requirements, and staff also recommended limiting signs on local streets to 18 square feet in area and six feet in height. Following Council discussion, the item was referred back to the Planning Commission for further reconsideration.

DWELLING UNITS AND JUNIOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS. THIS
ACTION IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY ACT (CEQA) PURSUANT TO SECTION 21080.17 OF THE PUBLIC
RESOURCES CODE (FIRST READING - ROLL CALL VOTE)
Housing and Planning Manager Andrew Myrick presented a proposed ordinance amending Seaside Municipal Code Section 17.52.230 to align the City’s regulations for Accessory Dwelling Units and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units with current California law. The presentation summarized the purpose and typical characteristics of ADUs and JADUs, noted that the City’s existing ordinance was adopted in March 2023, and explained that subsequent State legislation has further limited local authority over ADU regulations. Staff reviewed the significant proposed changes, including updated size definitions, limitations on denying ADUs or JADUs due to nonconforming zoning conditions, allowance for multiple exempt ADUs, allowance of up to eight ADUs for existing multifamily projects, removal of replacement requirements for eliminated uncovered parking stalls, updated JADU deed restriction language, revised permit processing timelines, and a new appeal process to the Planning Commission. Staff recommended that the City Council approve the proposed ordinance.

Housing and Planning Manager Andrew Myrick presented a proposed ordinance amending Chapter 9.12 of the Seaside Municipal Code to clarify the applicability of the City’s noise ordinance to legally permitted uses. Staff explained that noise is regulated through both the Zoning Ordinance and Chapter 9.12, with the Zoning Packet Page 14
Thursday, June 4, 2026 City Council REGULAR Meeting Page 7 Ordinance establishing quantitative standards based on decibels, time of day, and location, while Chapter 9.12 addresses nuisance-based noise that may be considered excessive, unnecessary, or unusually loud. The presentation reviewed the criteria used to evaluate noise violations, existing exemptions, and the proposed addition of an exemption for normal noise generated by legally permitted uses. Staff noted that such noise would still remain subject to the City’s quantitative noise standards and recommended approval of the proposed ordinance.

STREET LIST IN SMC.10.30.010.B
Junior Engineer Aaron Hahn and Public Works Director/City Engineer Thomas Korman presented the Traffic Advisory Committee’s recommendation to change Contra Costa Street to one-way southbound from Broadway Avenue to Palm Avenue.
Staff reviewed the project background, including the 2022 DKS parking study, prior Traffic Advisory Committee meetings, public noticing to nearby property owners, and the Committee’s recommendation following review of the safety study and proposed parking layout. The presentation noted that the 2022 parking study found existing parking supply generally adequate under current conditions, but identified localized shortages and recommended angled parking on Contra Costa Street with one-way southbound operations as a short-term improvement. Staff presented the proposed circulation and parking layout for the corridor and recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution adding Contra Costa Street to the City’s list of one-way southbound streets pursuant to Seaside Municipal Code Section 10.30.010.B.

B. ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE COMMUNITY SOCIAL
SERVICES GRANT PROGRAM POLICY
City Manager Greg McDanel presented a proposed resolution approving the Community Social Services Grant Program Policy. The presentation reviewed the origins of the grant program, its purpose of enhancing community and social services for Seaside residents, and the history of varying award processes, including competitive requests for proposals and direct Council allocations. Staff explained that the proposed policy was developed in response to Council’s desire for a clearer and more predictable framework to guide future grant funding decisions. The recommended hybrid process would establish eligible program areas, allowable expenditures, funding requirements, application procedures, reporting requirements, and an annual scoring matrix, while preserving City Council discretion to adopt or modify staff recommendations. The policy focuses funding on programs serving children, adolescents, and transitional-age youth ages 24 and younger, with priority areas including education, workforce development, youth enrichment, mental and behavioral health, violence prevention, civic engagement, and community-building.
Staff noted that the policy aligns with community survey feedback and the City’s Strategic Plan, and recommended adoption of the resolution approving the policy, with staff to return on July 2 with the draft 2026 Request for Proposals for Council review.

Item No.: 8.D.
TO: City Council
FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Dan Meewis, Assistant City Manager
Kee Hyon Higgins, Recreation Superintendent
DATE: July 2, 2026
SUBJECT: APPROVE A MAYOR'S YOUTH FUND CONTRIBUTION REQUEST OF $3,000.00 FROM THE BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF MONTEREY
COUNTY TO ASSIST WITH THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH
THEIR EIGHT-WEEK YOUTH SUMMER CAMP PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the request.
BACKGROUND
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Monterey County is requesting a donation of $3,000.00 from the Mayor's Youth Fund to cover the costs associated with expenses related to their eight-week youth Summer Camp Program, including the purchase of art & craft supplies, pencils, specialty paper, legos, kids passport books, grill and cooking utensils and supplies and a variety of resources for STEAM-based learning experiences designed to keep kids active, engaged, and learning all summer long. Their Summer Camp Program provides grade-specific learning activities, sports camps, clinics, field trips, and hands-on projects for youth ages 6–18. It is designed to support local youth in continuing their academic, social, and emotional development during the school break.
The availability of free programming has significantly increased summer enrollment.
The Boys & Girls Club Summer Camp Program engages in environmental sustainability through its EV fleet conversion. Weekly field trips are conducted using electric vehicles (EV buses), helping the carbon footprint. Three meals a day will be provided for the youth each day, and the remaining scraps and recyclable materials will be properly sorted and recycled to reinforce sustainable habits.
Packet Page 37
Item No. 8.D. Page 2 of 3
The program has a municipal community benefit by offering a free, eight-week summer program for youth in Seaside and across Monterey County. In previous years, there was a cost associated with enrollment. However, that fee has been eliminated, making the program more accessible to local families. This investment supports families in seaside and surrounding communities by providing youth a safe, supervised environment where they can participate in structured educational and enrichment activities throughout the summer.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Monterey County does direct mailing and emailing outreach to constituents within their database for fundraising. Additional support is being pursued through local business sponsorships, grants, and community partnerships. These funding sources help supplement program costs.
Based on the information provided in the application, the request meets the criteria for the Mayor’s Youth Fund Policy:
• The Boys & Girls Clubs of Monterey County is a non-profit organization in Seaside.
• They serve 71% of seaside youth ages 6-18.
• Their program contributes to environmental sustainability and climate resilience. • Their program has a municipal community benefit.
They received their last donation at the June 24, 2025, City Council meeting. They submitted their 2025 Mayor's Youth Fund Closing Report within the 60-day time frame.
FISCAL IMPACT
This request would be funded by a donation from the Green Waste Recovery's donation to the Mayor's Youth Fund. The current balance of the Mayor's Youth Fund account (601-2106) is $62,879.79. If the City Council approves this request, the balance will decrease to $59.879.79. This is for fiscal year 2026/27.
In the event that all of the funds in the Mayor's Youth Fund become exhausted, staff will keep a file of all applications. Once Green Waste issues the next round of funding, all applications on file will be processed at the next available City Council meeting.

What items were purchased with Mayor’s Youth Fund Donation: With support from the Mayor’s Youth program, we were able to provide members with essential learning supplies including paper, pens, and colored pencils—ensuring every young person had the tools to fully engage in Club activities. Beyond the classroom, funds also made possible enriching field trips to local destinations, where youth gained new experiences, explored their community, and expanded their horizons.The entire grant funding of $3,000 was utilized to purchase supplies or fund field trips.
Please describe the activities and the date the group/individual participated in related to reduce, reuse and recycle? Please provide written description, brief City Council presentation, and/or photos.
The 2025 Summer Academy at the Seaside Clubhouse offered robust learning experiences and hands-on projects for youth ages 6–18. Operating daily from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., the program served 153 participants, including 137 Seaside residents. Members were placed in age-appropriate groups (K–2nd, 3rd–5th, and 6th–8th) to ensure activities were developmentally aligned and engaging. In addition, the Johnson-Toney Football Camp, held in two sessions during June and July, engaged 56 Seaside youth.
The summer program culminated with our Summer Showcase on Thursday, July 31, 2025, where families and community members celebrated the creativity and hard work of our youth. A central theme woven throughout programming was environmental responsibility, with lessons on reducing, reusing, and recycling. In particular, our middle school members participated in a dedicated upcycling project, collecting gently used clothing and transforming items into unique, repurposed fashion pieces—combining creativity with sustainability. Other examples of grade-level projects include:
Grades 1–3: Animal Habitats & Outer Space
● Animal Habitats: Youth explored various ecosystems and learned about the animals that inhabit them. Lessons emphasized environmental responsibility and the importance of protecting natural habitats.
● Outer Space: Members dived into astronomy, exploring our galaxy, planets, and Earth’s place in the universe. Activities included creating a model solar system.
Grades 4–5: Life in Space & Solar Energy
● Life on the International Space Station: Members explored life as an astronaut, including the challenges and wonders of living in space. This unit builds on prior space knowledge and introduces concepts of space exploration and Earth sciences. ● Solar Energy: Youth investigated the power and potential of sustainable energy. Through a hands-on project, they built solar ovens to cook s’mores, combining science with fun.

Grades 6–8: Upcycled Fashion & The Science of Ice Cream ● Upcycled Fashion: Focused on sustainability and environmental impact, youth learned about the fast fashion industry and used creative problem-solving to design and repurpose gently used clothing into new fashion items.
● The Science of Ice Cream: A deliciously educational unit, this theme explored the chemistry behind making ice cream and how ingredients interact to create various flavors and textures.

CITY OF SEASIDE
STAFF REPORT
Item No.: 8.F.
TO: City Council
FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Jessica Riley, Finance Director
DATE: July 2, 2026
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING A PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH HDL COMPANIES FOR BUSINESS
LICENSE TAX OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT AND COMPLIANCE
SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION
Approve agreement.
BACKGROUND
The City has contracted with third-party providers to administer its business license tax program since approximately 2010. Initially, these services were provided by MuniServices. Through a series of corporate acquisitions and transitions, administration of the City's business license program subsequently transferred to Avenu Insights & Analytics and most recently to Neumo.
Over time, City staff and members of the business community have experienced a noticeable decline in customer service and responsiveness. Staff have regularly received complaints regarding delayed responses, difficulty reaching customer service representatives, inconsistent communication, and challenges resolving business license account issues. These concerns have negatively impacted both City operations and the experience of local businesses interacting with the City's business license program.
Recognizing the importance of effective business license administration, staff evaluated alternative service providers capable of delivering comprehensive, full-service business license administration. Staff identified Hinderliter de Llamas & Associates (HdL) as the only viable alternative currently providing a complete suite of business license administration services, including customer support, account administration, compliance Packet Page 73
Item No. 8.F. Page 2 of 3
monitoring, discovery services, audit services, collections, online filing, payment processing, and business outreach.
Sole Source
Staff is recommending a non-competitive agreement with HdL.
While the City generally seeks competitive procurement when practical, staff's review found that Neumo and HdL are currently the only providers offering comprehensive, full-service business license administration for California municipalities, including customer service, online filing, compliance, discovery, audit, and collection services within a single platform.
Given the City's ongoing service challenges with Neumo, staff determined that a formal competitive process would provide limited value, as HdL is the only identified alternative capable of delivering the full range of services required by the City. Additionally, HdL's proposed fee structure is comparable to the City's current administration costs while providing expanded services and enhanced customer support.
Staff believes HdL will provide a higher level of service than the City's current provider, resulting in improved customer service, stronger compliance efforts, and a better experience for Seaside businesses. To support a smooth transition, the City will temporarily suspend enforcement of late fees and penalties for a limited period following implementation, allowing businesses time to adapt to the new system and processes.
FISCAL IMPACT
For Fiscal Year 2024-25, the City received approximately $1,064,731 in business license tax revenues. During that same period, administrative fees paid for business license administration totaled approximately $29,466.
HdL's proposal includes the following compensation structure:
• Business License Administration: $18 per processed account, plus annual CPI adjustment;
• Discovery, Compliance, and Audit Services: 40% of recovered revenues; • Collection Services: 30% of recovered revenues; and
• One-time Implementation Fee: $7,500.
The City's current agreement with Neumo provides for compensation equal to 45% of revenues recovered through discovery and audit activities. HdL's proposed rate of 40% represents a reduction in the City's cost for these services.

Item No. 8.F. Page 3 of 3
Based on historical activity, staff estimates annual business license administration costs will remain generally consistent with prior years at approximately $29,466. Including the one-time implementation fee of $7,500, the estimated first-year cost of the agreement is approximately $36,966, excluding any contingency-based compliance, audit, or collection recoveries.
Funding for these services is included within the Finance Department operating budget and will be funded through business license administration revenues.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEASIDE
APPROVING A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH HDL
COMPANIES FOR BUSINESS LICENSE TAX ADMINISTRATION SERVICES WHEREAS, the City of Seaside administers and collects business license taxes pursuant to the Seaside Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, since approximately 2010, the City has contracted with third-party providers to administer its business license tax program; and WHEREAS, the City's current business license administration services provider has experienced declining service levels resulting in customer service concerns from both City staff and members of the business community; and
WHEREAS, City staff evaluated available alternatives and determined that HdL Companies provides comprehensive business license administration services, including customer support, online filing and payment processing, compliance monitoring, discovery services, audit services, collections services, and business outreach; and WHEREAS, staff determined that HdL Companies and the City's current provider are the only known firms offering a fully integrated business license administration program specifically tailored to California municipalities; and WHEREAS, staff further determined that a competitive procurement process would not provide a meaningful benefit because HdL Companies is the only identified alternative provider capable of delivering the full range of services required by the City; and WHEREAS, HdL Companies has proposed a fee structure that is comparable to the City's current administration costs while providing expanded services and a lower contingency fee for discovery and audit services; and
WHEREAS, the proposed agreement includes a one-time implementation fee of $7,500 and ongoing administration services necessary to support the City's business license tax program; and

insolvency or dissolution of the business, or for deficiencies which are otherwise incapable of collection (i.e. statute of limitation or other legal defense) shall not be considered a City voluntary election to waive, and thus, Consultant would not be entitled to compensation related thereto under this provision.

CITY OF SEASIDE
STAFF REPORT
Item No.: 9.A.
TO: City Council
FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Jessica Riley, Finance Director
DATE: July 2, 2026
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER ADOPTION OF THE CITY'S
COMPREHENSIVE USER FEE SCHEDULE AND RESOLUTION
ESTABLISHING UPDATED FEES FOR CITY SERVICES FOR
FISCAL YEAR 2026/2027
RECOMMENDATION
Review, consider and conduct a public hearing on the Proposed 2026-2027 Fee Schedule and adopt a resolution approving the City of Seaside Comprehensive Fee Schedule.
BACKGROUND
The City of Seaside is committed to providing efficient, transparent, and financially sustainable municipal services. Many City services provide a broad public benefit and are appropriately funded through taxes. Other services are provided at the request of individual residents, businesses, or developers and primarily benefit the individual receiving the service. User fees provide a mechanism for recovering the reasonable cost of providing these individualized services while reducing the need for General Fund subsidies.
The City's current fee schedule was last comprehensively evaluated in 2013. Since that time, the City has relied primarily on annual inflationary adjustments authorized by Ordinance No. 1013.
Although these annual adjustments have helped maintain the fee schedule, they do not fully account for changes in staffing, technology, operating costs, regulatory requirements, or indirect support costs that have occurred over the past thirteen years.
To ensure the City's fees accurately reflect the cost of providing services, the City Council authorized an agreement with Willdan Financial Services on June 24, 2025, to prepare a Comprehensive User Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan. The study establishes a current cost-of-service analysis for City user fees and provides the basis for the proposed Comprehensive Fee Schedule.
The proposed fees have been developed using FY 2025-26 cost information and are supported by the Comprehensive User Fee Study. The recommended fees do not exceed the reasonable cost of providing the associated services and are intended to comply with applicable California law Packet Page 89
Item No. 9.A. Page 2 of 6
governing cost recovery user fees.
Cost Recovery
The City's fee schedule is guided by the principle that the cost of services providing a direct benefit to an individual applicant or user should generally be borne by that individual rather than subsidized by the City's taxpayers.
The Comprehensive User Fee Study calculated the full cost of providing each service using direct labor, employee benefits, departmental operating costs, Citywide overhead, and indirect support costs. This analysis establishes the maximum amount the City may recover through user fees.
While the study identifies the full cost of providing each service, the proposed fee schedule reflects policy decisions of the City Council and does not seek full cost recovery in every instance. Several services continue to be intentionally subsidized where broader community benefits exist, including recreation programs and selected public safety services.
Scope of the Study
The Comprehensive User Fee Study included a detailed review of fees administered by the following departments:
• Finance and City Clerk
• Building and Code Enforcement
• Planning
• Engineering
• Recreation
• Fire
• Police
• Animal Services
For each service, the consultant evaluated the current fee, analyzed staff time and associated costs, calculated fully burdened hourly rates using the City's Cost Allocation Plan, and compared existing fees with the estimated cost of providing each service. Where appropriate, recommendations were made to increase, reduce, restructure, eliminate, or create fees to improve consistency, transparency, and cost recovery.
Notice of the public hearing and availability of the proposed fee schedule were provided in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Analysis
The proposed Comprehensive Fee Schedule modernizes the City's fee structure and provides the first comprehensive update in over a decade. The study establishes a transparent and consistent methodology for determining the cost of providing services while improving the organization, clarity, and administration of the City's fee schedule.
The analysis incorporates direct labor costs, employee benefits, departmental operating expenses, indirect administrative support, and Citywide overhead through the Cost Allocation Plan to determine the full cost of providing individual services. While the study identifies the City's maximum allowable cost recovery, the proposed fees reflect policy decisions by the City and, in several instances, intentionally remain below full cost recovery where a public benefit exists.
In addition to updating fee amounts, the proposed fee schedule:
Packet Page 90
Item No. 9.A. Page 3 of 6
• Reorganizes and standardizes the City's fee schedule for improved administration and public transparency;
• Clarifies fee descriptions and billing methodologies; • Adds new fees for services currently provided without established cost recovery; • Converts certain flat fees to actual-cost recovery where appropriate; • Eliminates or reduces fees that no longer reflect current service delivery costs; and • Preserves General Fund subsidies where policy considerations support continued public investment.
Highlights from the Fee Study
The Comprehensive User Fee Study represents the City's first comprehensive review of user fees since 2013 and includes significant updates to improve cost recovery, transparency, and administration of the City's fee schedule. In addition to updating individual fees, the study reorganizes the fee schedule, standardizes fee descriptions, clarifies billing methodologies, and establishes new fees where services are currently provided without an established cost recovery mechanism.
Finance and City Clerk
The study found that several administrative fees associated with financial transactions, business licensing, records management, and regulatory services no longer reflect the City's cost of providing those services. The recommended updates include increases to administrative processing fees, establishment of several new fees, modifications to existing fee structures, and reductions where current fees exceed the cost of service. Overall, the recommended changes improve consistency and transparency while better aligning fees with the cost of providing administrative services.
Building and Code Enforcement
Building and Code Enforcement received one of the most comprehensive updates within the study.
Existing fees were reorganized to improve clarity and administration, while individual permit, plan review, and inspection fees were evaluated based on current staffing costs and service delivery practices. The recommendations include fee increases where services are significantly subsidized, reductions where efficiencies have lowered service costs, several new fee categories, and restructuring of permit-related administrative fees. The study also incorporates a technology fee to support ongoing investments in permitting software and related systems.
Planning
Planning fees were comprehensively reviewed to better reflect the cost of processing development applications, zoning requests, environmental review, and long-range planning activities. The recommendations include increases to many development-related fees, several fee reductions, new fee categories, and conversion of selected flat-rate fees to percentage-based or actual-cost methodologies where appropriate. These changes provide greater consistency across development review services while improving cost recovery.
Engineering
Engineering fees associated with development review, infrastructure improvements, encroachment permits, and stormwater compliance were evaluated using current staffing costs and workload estimates. The study recommends increases to several fees, reductions to others, additional fee categories, and conversion of numerous services to actual-cost billing where project complexity varies significantly. Although some individual fees increase substantially, much of the change reflects restructuring of deposits, billing methods, and fee classifications rather than simple fee increases.
Recreation
Packet Page 91
Item No. 9.A. Page 4 of 6
The Recreation Department was evaluated using both cost recovery and policy considerations.
Because recreation programs provide significant public benefit, full cost recovery was not recommended for most services. The proposed changes primarily consist of modest adjustments to facility rentals and program fees, together with several new fees to improve administrative consistency. Recreation programs will continue to operate with substantial General Fund support to maintain affordability and community access.
Fire
Fire Prevention fees were updated to better align inspection, permit, plan review, and fire prevention activities with the City's cost of providing those services. The study recommends increases to many existing fees, reductions where appropriate, and several new fee categories. While many adjustments are relatively modest, the updated schedule more accurately reflects current staffing costs and regulatory responsibilities and improves consistency across fire prevention services.
Police
Police Department administrative fees were reviewed for services including reports, permits, false alarms, and other regulatory activities. The recommendations include both fee increases and reductions, the addition of new administrative fees, and conversion of selected services to actualcost recovery where appropriate. Several reductions reflect fees that historically have not been actively collected or no longer correspond with current service delivery costs.
Animal Services
Animal Services fees were evaluated to improve recovery of costs associated with licensing, ordinance enforcement, stray animal response, investigations, and related regulatory activities. The study recommends increases to several existing fees while maintaining others at current levels.
Although the program continues to operate below full cost recovery, the proposed updates better align user fees with the cost of providing animal control services while maintaining reasonable public access to these services.
Overall, the proposed fee schedule modernizes the City's cost recovery practices while preserving City policy decisions to subsidize services that provide broader public benefits. The detailed analysis supporting each recommendation is contained in the attached Comprehensive User Fee Study (Exhibit A).
Annual CPI Adjustments
The Comprehensive User Fee Study utilized FY 2025-26 cost information as the basis for developing the proposed fee schedule.
Consistent with Ordinance No. 1013, select fees include the annual San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose (Bay Area) Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers Consumer Price Index (CPI-W) adjustment. The year-over-year CPI-W increase for April 2026 of 3.3 percent was applied where appropriate in the proposed fee schedule.
Following adoption, Ordinance No. 1013 authorizes future annual CPI-based adjustments to maintain the City's cost recovery, provided fees do not exceed the reasonable cost of providing the associated service. The Comprehensive User Fee Study also recommends that the City conduct a comprehensive fee study approximately every five years to ensure user fees remain aligned with actual service delivery costs.
Implementation
The proposed Comprehensive Fee Schedule was developed using FY 2025-26 cost information.
The fees recommended for adoption, including the applicable annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustment, are contained in Exhibit B.
Packet Page 92
Item No. 9.A. Page 5 of 6
While the City is adopting the updated fee schedule, the implementation of certain fees is subject to statutory requirements and operational considerations.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 66017, development-related fees, including Building, Engineering, and Planning fees, become effective sixty (60) days following adoption by the City Council. Accordingly, these departments will continue to utilize the fee schedules adopted with the FY 2026-27 Budget until September 1, 2026, at which time the updated fees identified in Exhibit B will become effective.
Additionally, implementation of the Recreation Department fees will be delayed until January 1, 2027, to maintain consistency with the City's annual Recreation Activity Guide and established program registration cycle. Recreation fees will therefore continue to follow the fee schedule adopted with the FY 2026-27 Budget until that date.
For clarity and ease of administration, the interim fee schedules that remain in effect during these transition periods are provided in Exhibit C.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed Comprehensive Fee Schedule improves the City's recovery of the reasonable cost of providing individualized municipal services while reducing reliance on the General Fund to subsidize services that primarily benefit individual users.
The proposed fees do not create a new source of discretionary revenue but update existing user fees to more accurately reflect the cost of providing services. Actual fee revenue will continue to vary based on service demand, permit activity, and development levels. The City also continues to subsidize selected services, including recreation and certain public safety programs, where policy considerations support less than full cost recovery.
The Comprehensive User Fee Study recommends continuing annual CPI-based adjustments pursuant to Ordinance No. 1013 and conducting a comprehensive fee study approximately every five years to maintain alignment between user fees and the cost of providing services.

1 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Executive Summary
The City of Seaside engaged Willdan Financial Services (Willdan) to determine the full costs incurred by the City to support the various activities for which the City charges user fees. Due to the complexity and the breadth of performing a comprehensive review of fees, Willdan employed a variety of fee methodologies to identify the full costs of individual fee and program activities. This report and the appendices herein identify 100% full cost recovery for City services. Appendix C details the full cost and suggested fees as determined through discussion with departmental staff. The recommended fees identified herein are either at or less than full cost recovery.

2 Comprehensive User Fee Study
User Fee Background
Background
As part of a general cost recovery strategy, local governments adopt user fees to fund programs and services that provide limited or no direct benefit to the community as a whole (“User Fees”). As cities struggle to maintain levels of service and variability of demand, they have become increasingly aware of subsidies provided by the General Fund and have implemented cost-recovery targets. To the extent that governments use general tax monies to provide individuals with private benefit services and not require them to pay the full cost of the service (and, therefore, receive a subsidy), the government is limiting funds that may be available to provide other community-wide benefits. In effect, the government is using community funds to pay for private benefits. Unlike most revenue sources, cities have more control over the level of user fees they charge to recover costs, or the subsidies they can institute.
Fees in California are required to conform to the statutory requirements of the California Constitution, Proposition 218, Proposition 26, and the California Code of Regulations. The Code also requires that the City Council adopt fees by either ordinance or resolution, and that any fees in excess of the estimated total cost of rendering the related services must be approved by a popular vote of two-thirds of those electors voting because the charge would be considered a tax and not a fee. There are no fees suggested to be set above the cost of service and as such a public vote is not required.
California User Fee History
Before Proposition 13, in times of fiscal shortages, California cities were able to raise property taxes, which funded everything from police and recreation to development-related services. However, this situation changed with the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978.
Proposition 13 established the era of revenue limitation in California local government. In subsequent years, the state saw a series of additional limitations to local government revenues. Proposition 4 (1979) defined the difference between a tax and a fee: a fee can be no greater than the cost of providing the service; and Proposition 218 (1996) further limited the imposition of taxes for certain classes of fees. As a result, cities were required to secure a supermajority vote in order to enact or increase taxes. Due to the thresholds needed to increase local taxes, cities have less control and very few successful options for new revenues.
The State of California took a series of actions in the 1990’s and 2000’s to improve the State’s fiscal situation, at the expense of local governments. In 2004-05, the Educational Revenue Augmentation Funds (“ERAF”) take-away of property taxes and the reduction of Vehicle License Fees further reduced local tax revenues.
In addition, on November 2, 2010, California voters approved Proposition 26, the “Stop Hidden Taxes Initiative”, which is aimed at defining “regulatory fees” as a special tax rather than a fee, thus requiring approval by two-thirds vote of local voters. These regulatory fees are typically intended to mitigate the societal and environmental impacts of a business or person’s activities. Proposition 26 contains seven categories of exceptions. The fees analyzed as part of a user fee study typically fall under categories one through five consisting of charges for specific benefits, government service, regulatory need, for use of government property, or a fine/penalty.

3 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Additional Policy Considerations
State regulations require that municipalities update their fee schedules to reflect the actual costs of certain public services primarily benefiting users. User fees recover costs associated with the provision of specific services benefiting the user, thereby typically reducing the use of General Fund monies for such purposes.
In addition to collecting the direct cost of labor and materials associated with processing and administering user services, it is common for local governments to recover reasonable support costs. Support costs are those costs relating to a local government’s central service departments that are allocable to the local government’s operating departments. Central services support cost allocations were incorporated using the resulting indirect overhead percentages determined through the City’s cost allocation plan. A cost allocation plan identifies the central service functions of the City such as Finance, City Manager, and Human Resources and allocates their cost to the departments and funds of the City that they support. This plan was used in the user fee study to account for the burden placed upon central services by the operating departments in order to allocate a proportionate share of central service cost through the study.
As labor effort and costs associated with the provision of services fluctuate over time, a significant element in the development of any fee schedule is that it has the flexibility to remain current. Therefore, it is recommended that the City include an inflationary factor in the resolution adopting the fee schedule to allow the City to annually increase or decrease the fees by changes in a pre-approved inflationary index, as described below. However, such inflationary increases shall not exceed the reasonable estimated cost of providing the services each year.
The City may employ many different inflationary factors. The most commonly used inflator is some form of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as it is widely well known and accepted. A similar inflator is the implicit price deflator for GDP, which is much like the CPI except that while the CPI is based on the same “basket” of goods and services every year, the price deflators’ “basket” can change year to year. Since the primary factor for the cost of a City’s services is usually the costs of the personnel involved, tying an inflationary factor that connects more directly to the personnel costs can also be suitable if there is a clear method, or current practice of obtaining said factor.
Each City should use an inflator that they believe works the best for their specific situation and needs but cannot rely solely on the CPI increase as it is incumbent upon each agency to ensure the amount of the fees charged does not exceed the reasonable estimated costs of providing the services. It is also recommended that the City perform this internal review annually with a comprehensive review of services and fees performed every five years, which would include adding, amending, or removing fees for programs/services.

4 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Study Objective
As the City of Seaside seeks to efficiently manage limited resources and adequately respond to increased service demands, it needs a variety of tools. A user fee study provides assurance that the City has the best information and the best resources available to make sound decisions, fairly and legitimately set fees, maintain compliance with state law and local policies, and meet the needs of the City administration and its constituency. Given the limitations on raising revenue in local government, the City recognizes that a user fee Study is a very cost-effective way to understand the total cost of services and identify potential fee deficiencies. Essentially, a user fee is a payment for a requested service provided by a local government that primarily benefits an individual or group.
The total cost of each service included in this analysis is based on the full cost of providing City services, including direct salaries and benefits of City staff, direct departmental costs, and indirect costs from central service support. This study determines the full cost recovery fee for the City to provide each service; however, each fee is set at the City’s discretion, up to 100% of the total cost, as specified in this report.
The principal goal of the study was to help the City determine the full cost of the services that the City provides. In addition, Willdan established a series of additional objectives including:
Developing a rational basis for setting fees
Identifying subsidy amount, if applicable, of each fee in the model Ensuring compliance with State law
Developing an updatable and comprehensive list of fees Maintaining accordance with City policies and goals
The study results will help the City better understand its true costs of providing services and may serve as a basis for making informed policy decisions regarding the most appropriate fees, if any, to collect from individuals and organizations that require individualized services from the City.
Scope of the Study
The scope of this study encompasses a review and calculation of the user fees charged by the following Seaside departments and fee groups:
Finance and City Clerk
Building and Code Enforcement
Planning
Police
Engineering
Recreation
Fire
Animal Services
Packet Page 101
5 Comprehensive User Fee Study
The study involved the identification of existing and potential new fees, fee schedule restructuring, data collection and analysis, orientation and consultation, quality control, communication and presentations, and calculation of individual service costs (fees) or program cost recovery levels.
Aim of the Report
The user fee study focused on the cost of City services, as City staff currently provide them at existing, known, or reasonably anticipated service and staff level needs. This report provides a summary of the study results, and a general description of the approach and methods Willdan and City staff used to determine the recommended fee schedule. The report is not intended to document all of the numerous discussions throughout the process, nor is it intended to provide an influential dissertation on the qualities of the utilized tools, techniques, or alternative approaches.
Packet Page 102
6 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Project Approach and Methodology
Conceptual Approach
The basic concept of a user fee study is to determine the “reasonable cost” of each service provided by the City for which it charges a user fee. The full cost of providing a service may not necessarily become the City’s fee, but it serves as the objective basis as to the maximum amount that may be collected.
The standard fee limitation established in California law for such fees is the “estimated, reasonable cost” principle. In order to maintain compliance with the letter and spirit of this standard, every component of the fee study process included a related review. The use of budget figures, time estimates, and improvement valuation clearly indicates reliance upon estimates for some data.
Fully Burdened Hourly Rates
The total cost of each service included in this analysis is primarily based on the Fully Burdened Hourly Rates (FBHRs) that were determined for City personnel directly involved in providing services. The FBHRs include not only personnel salary and benefits (see Appendix B), but also any costs that are reasonably ascribable to personnel. The cost elements that are included in the calculation of fully burdened rates are:
Salaries & benefits of personnel involved
Operating costs applicable to fee operations
Departmental support, supervision, and administration overhead Internal Service Costs charged to each department
Indirect City-wide overhead costs calculated through the Cost Allocation Plan An important factor in determining the fully burdened rate is in the calculation of productive hours for personnel. This calculation takes the available workable hours in a year of 2,080 and adjusts this figure to 1,650 productive or billable hours to account for calculated or anticipated hours’ employees are involved in non-billable activities such as paid vacation, sick leave, holidays, and other considerations as necessary.
Dividing the full cost, including overhead, of a position by the number of productive hours provides the FBHR.
The FBHRs are then used in conjunction with time estimates, when appropriate for how a service is provided, to calculate a fee’s cost based on the personnel and the amount of their time that is involved in providing each service.

Summary Steps of the Study
The process of the study is straightforward and simple in concept. The following list provides a summary of the study process steps:
Allowable Costs
This report identifies three types of costs that, when combined, constitute the fully burdened cost of a service (Appendix A). Costs are defined as
direct labor, including salary and benefits,
departmental overhead costs, and the City’s
central services overhead, where
departmental and central service overhead
costs constitute support costs. These cost
types are defined as follows:
Direct Labor (Personnel Costs): The
costs related to staff salaries for
time spent directly on fee-related
services.
Departmental Overhead: A
proportional allocation of
departmental overhead costs,
including operation costs such as
supplies and materials that are necessary for the department to function. Central Services Overhead: These costs, as provided via the City’s cost allocation plan, represent services provided by those central services departments whose primary function is to support other City departments.

8 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Methodology
The three methods of analysis for calculating fees used in this report are the:
Case Study Method (Standard Unit Cost Build-Up Approach): This approach estimates the actual labor and material costs associated with providing a unit of service to a single user. This analysis is suitable when City staff time requirements do not vary dramatically for a service, or for special projects where the time and cost requirements are easy to identify at the project’s outset. Further, the method is effective in instances when a staff member from one department assists on an application, service or permit for another department on an as-needed basis. Costs are estimated based upon interviews with City staff regarding the time typically spent on tasks, a review of available records, and a time and materials analysis.
Program Cost Approach: In some instances, the underlying data is not available or varies widely, leaving a standard unit cost build-up approach impractical. In addition, market factors and policy concerns (as opposed to actual costs) tend to influence rental based fee levels more than other types of services. Willdan employed a different methodology where appropriate to fit a program’s needs and goals. Typical programmatic approach cases are facility use fees, penalties, and instances where a program cost is divided over the user base to obtain a per applicant cost for shared cost services.
Valuation Based Fees: This method of collection is used when the valuation of the improvement can be used as a proxy for the amount of effort it would take for City staff to complete the service provided. More specifically, this approach is commonly used for certain User Fees in the Building Division. It is generally accepted that as a project’s size scales up, the cost of the project increases, and the amount of effort needed to review and inspect also increases. Using valuation-based fees provide for a system that can adjust as project sizes scale. Land is not included in the valuation.
Quality Control/Quality Assurance
All study components are interrelated, thus flawed data at any step in the process will cause the ultimate results to be inconsistent and unsound. The elements of our Quality Control process for user fee calculations include:
Involvement of knowledgeable City staff
Clear instructions and guidance to City staff
Reasonableness tests and validation
Internal and external reviews
Cross-checking
Reasons for cost increases/decreases over current fees
Within the fee tables in Appendix C, the differences are identified between the full costs calculated through the study and the fee levels currently in effect. The reasons for differences between the two can arise from a number of possible factors including:
Packet Page 105
9 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Previous fee levels may have been set at levels less than full cost intentionally, based on policy decisions
Staffing levels and the positions that complete fee and service activity may vary from when the previous costs were calculated
Personnel and materials costs could have increased at levels that differed from any inflationary factors used to increase fees since the last study
Changes in processes and procedures within a department, or the City as a whole Changes in the demand for services in a City may have also changed the staffing or cost structure of departments over time
City Staff Contributions
As part of the study process, Willdan received tremendous support and cooperation from City staff, who contributed and reviewed a variety of components to the study, including:
Budget and other cost data
Staffing structures
Fee and service structures, organization, and descriptions Direct and indirect work hours (billable/non-billable) Time estimates to complete work tasks
Review of draft results and other documentation
A user fee study requires significant involvement of the managers and line staff from the departments on top of their existing workloads and competing priorities. The contributions from City staff were critical to this study. We would like to express our appreciation to the City and its staff for their assistance, professionalism, positive attitudes, helpful suggestions, responsiveness, and overall cooperation.

Seaside User Fees
Cost Recovery
The cost recovery models, by department/division fee type, are presented in detail in Appendix C. Full cost recovery is determined by summing the estimated amount of time each position (in increments of minutes or hours) spends to render a service. Time estimates for each service rendered were obtained through interviews conducted with City staff for each department/division fee included in the study. The resulting cost recovery amount represents the total cost of providing each service. The City’s current fee being charged for each service, if applicable, is provided in this section, as well, for reference.
It is important to note that the time data used to determine the amount of time each employee spends assisting in the provision of the services listed on the fee schedule is essential in identifying the total cost of providing each service and will differ from City to City depending on staffing, positions involved, experience of staff, the use of consultants, and the policies and procedures in place for each City.
Specifically, in providing services, a number of employees are often involved in various aspects of the process, spending anywhere from a few minutes to several hours on the service.
The primary goal of this study was to identify the cost of City services, to provide information to help the City make informed decisions regarding the actual fee levels and charges. The responsibility of determining the final fee levels is a complicated task. City staff must consider many issues in formulating recommendations, and the City Council must consider those same issues and more in making the final decisions.
City staff assumes the responsibility to develop specific fee level recommendations to present to the City Council. Unfortunately, there are no hard and fast rules to guide the City, since many of the considerations are based on the unique characteristics of the City of Seaside, and administrative and political discretion.
However, in setting the level of full cost recovery for each fee, one should consider whether the service solely benefits one end user or the general community.
Subsidization
Recalling the definition of a user fee helps guide decisions regarding subsidization. The general standard is that individuals (or groups) who receive a wholly private benefit should pay 100% of the full cost of the services. In contrast, services that are simply public benefit should be funded entirely by the general fund’s tax dollars. Unfortunately, for the decision makers, some services fall into the range between these two extremes.
Further complicating the decision, opponents of fees often assert that the activities subject to the fees provide economic, cultural, “quality of life,” or other community benefits that exceed the costs to the City, but it is important to distinguish the difference between any purported possible benefits that may be conveyed through the result of activities of the service receiver and the direct benefit being conveyed through the City providing the service to the requestor.
It is recommended the City consider such factors during its deliberations regarding appropriate fee levels.
Packet Page 107
11 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Of course, subsidization can be an effective public policy tool since it can be used to reduce fees to encourage certain activities (such as to ensure public safety) or allow some people to be able to afford to receive services they otherwise could not at the full cost. In addition, subsidies can be an appropriate and justifiable action, such as to allow citizens to rightfully access services, without overburdensome costs.
Despite the intent, it is important for the City and public to understand that subsidies must be covered by another revenue source, typically the General Fund’s other unrestricted funds.
Revenue Analysis
The revenue analysis of this User Fee Study Report is intended to provide additional context as a projection of what the fee changes will have in revenue, assuming no participation changes in service requests. The projections are based on the average fee change for each department and evaluates the projected revenue change resulting from suggested fees.
Impact on Demand (Elasticity)
Economic principles of elasticity suggest that increased costs for services (higher fees) will eventually curtail the demand for the services; whereas lower fees may spark an incentive to utilize the services and encourage certain actions. Either of these conditions may be a desirable effect to the City. However, the level of the fees that would cause demand changes is largely unknown. The cost of service study did not attempt to evaluate the economic or behavioral impacts of higher or lower fees; nevertheless, the City should consider the potential impacts of these issues when deciding on fee levels.
Summary
City staff is recommending setting user fees at suggested fee amounts as detailed in Appendix C. City and departmental goals, City Council priorities, policy initiatives, past performance, implementation issues, and other internal and external factors should influence staff recommendations and City Council decisions. In this case, the proper identification of additional services (new or existing services) and the update to a consistent and comprehensive fee schedule were the primary objectives of this study. City staff has reviewed the full costs and identified the recommended fee levels for consideration by City Council.

13 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Finance and City Clerk
The Finance department is responsible for the financial management, reporting, budgeting, accounting, grant management, debt management, payroll, purchasing, and auditing services for all the City funds.
City Clerk is responsible for maintaining official city records and ensuring transparency. Duties include managing public records requests, preparing City Council agendas and minutes, overseeing elections, and maintaining municipal codes and documents.
Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with Finance and City Clerk. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.
The analysis of Finance and City Clerk services relied primarily upon a standard unit cost build-up approach, whereby the reasonable cost of each fee occurrence was determined using staff time involved with providing the service to recover the direct cost of staff and the pro-rata share of departmental costs, including indirect costs for City central services. Willdan then compared the calculated full cost against the current fee amount to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that most Finance and City Clerk fees are currently set below the full cost of providing the service. Staff have suggested reasonable fee adjustments to the fee schedule as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
An increase for 4 fees;
3 fees would decrease;
2 new fees would be added;
1 fee would change from an actual cost to a flat fee; 1 fee would change from a flat to actual cost fee;
7 fees would remain as currently set, and;
The average fee change would be an increase of 67% for current fees.

14 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Building and Code Enforcement
Building & Code Enforcement’s primary responsibility is to protect the health, safety and general welfare of all Seaside residents and visitors. Our approach reflects a fundamental respect for individuals and property rights.
The Department oversees adherence to all applicable building codes and regulations in order to ensure the safe occupancy of all residential and commercial structures within the City of Seaside. The permitting, plan review and inspection process helps us ensure the health, safety and well-being of all who visit, and live in our community.
Code Enforcement is responsible for responding and abating code violations. Unabated violations can pose serious threats to public safety. To help prevent and minimize the effects of structure fires and other hazards, our staff strive to educate persons about regulations and provide options to remedy code violations. Where abatement of a public nuisance or other violations cannot be achievable through voluntary compliance, our staff is required to heighten enforcement strategies to abate the nuisance through legal remedies.
Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services and programs associated with the Building and Code Enforcement Department. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.
The analysis of Building and Code Enforcement services relied primarily upon a standard unit cost build-up approach, whereby the reasonable cost of each fee occurrence was determined using staff time involved with providing the service to recover the direct cost of staff and the pro-rata share of departmental costs, including indirect costs for City central services. Willdan then compared the calculated full cost against the current fee amount to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that most current flat rate fees are not in line with the cost of providing the service. Staff have suggested reasonable fee adjustments to the fee schedule as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
An increase for 42 fees;
38 fees would decrease;
54 new restructured fees would be added;
1 fee would change from an actual cost to a flat fee; 25 fees would remain as currently set, and;
The average fee change would be a decrease of 28% for current fees.
In addition to the above referenced fees listed under Building, the Building Permit fee program is also provided by this division. For the Building Permit fees, the cost of service for each construction type is also split into multiple ranges of square footage for each construction type. The analysis performed for this program was to look at how the program is recovering the cost of service and evaluate what fee increases would be needed to achieve full cost recovery. The result of the cost analysis completed found that the Packet Page 111

program is currently operating at 57% cost recovery. It is suggested that the fees be increased to raise cost recovery to 86%, which would require a 50% increase. Current and new fees are detailed in Appendix C.

Planning
The Community Development Department supports orderly development within the City of Seaside, develops long-term plans to guide future development, and supports the creation of affordable housing.
Planning aligns land use policies to meet the needs of the community. CDBG federal grant funds are utilized for public service and eligible capital projects. Housing works with developers on affordable housing matters, promotes ADUs, affordable housing programs, and works to secure grant funding as available.
Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with the Planning Department. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.
The analysis of Planning services relied primarily upon a standard unit cost build-up approach, whereby the reasonable cost of each fee occurrence was determined using staff time involved with providing the service to recover the direct cost of staff and the pro-rata share of departmental costs, including indirect costs for City central services. Willdan then compared the calculated full cost against the current fee amount to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that most Planning fees are currently set below the full cost of providing the service. Staff have suggested reasonable fee adjustments to the fee schedule as detailed in Appendix C.
As a result, there would be:
An increase for 25 fees;
5 fees would decrease;
4 new fees would be added;
7 fees would change from a flat or actual cost to percentage based on base permit fee; 2 fees would change from a flat to an actual cost fee; 21 fees would remain as currently set, and;
the average fee change would be an increase of 37% for current fees.

Recreation
The Recreation Department provides high-quality park and recreation facilities, programs, services, and natural areas that meet the needs of the diverse community we serve. These essential assets connect people to place, self, and others. The department is responsible for the management of four major recreation facilities and the provision of recreation programs for families, youth, and senior citizens.
Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with Parks and Recreation Department. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.
The analysis of most Recreation programs encompassed facility rentals and other recreation services. The fee for use of government owned facilities and property can be set discretionally by the City per Proposition 26 to reduce the cost to the public for related facilities costs, and because there is market availability for facility use elsewhere. The cost of acquisition, maintenance, repair, and upgrade to the City and subsequently the community is partially offset by rental or use fee revenue. As such these fees should be set using the knowledge of activity use for the facilities, policy desires of the City, and market factors when desirable. It is generally accepted that many Recreation programs provide a measure of public benefit to the residents and City as a whole. In addition, cities generally want to ensure that their programs and services remain affordable to the community at large, and that the programs remain competitive with surrounding jurisdictions and private businesses. Therefore, full cost recovery is typically not the primary goal of fee setting. An overall program cost analysis for Parks & Recreation was also performed and determined that the department is currently operating at around 6% cost recovery including indirect support from central services of the City. A time and cost analysis was performed for the Cancellation fees in the schedule that have direct staff involvement identified to determine the direct cost for each. Staff have suggested reasonable fee adjustments to the fee schedule, and they are detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
An increase for 10 fees;
10 new fees would be added, and;
94 fees would remain as currently set, and;
the average fee change would be an increase of 3% for current fees.

Animal Control enforce ordinances regarding animals in the City of Seaside, Pick up strays and injured animals, Enforce state and local quarantines regarding animal bites, Investigate any reports of animal cruelty or mistreatment, and Educate and inform the public about animal laws in the City of Seaside.
Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with Animal Control. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.
The analysis of Animal Control services relied upon both a standard unit cost build-up approach, whereby the reasonable cost of each fee occurrence was determined using staff time involved with providing the service to recover the direct cost of staff and the pro-rata share of departmental costs, including indirect costs for City central services, and a program cost analysis to determine the cost recovery of current license fees. The analysis found that current fees are not in line with the cost of providing individual services and the program is well below covering the cost of Animal Control activities. Staff have suggested reasonable fee adjustments to the fee schedule as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
An increase for 10 fees;
10 fees would remain as currently set, and;

Appendix A – Total Allowable Cost to be Recovered
Below are the total allowable costs that may be recovered through user fees; however, only a portion of the total allowable cost is recovered as staff not only works on services related to user fees, but also works on an array of other City functions during the operational hours of the City. The direct overhead percentages below are derived by dividing other operational costs by salaries and benefits. The indirect allocation percentages are provided through the cost allocation plan. The amounts listed below will not reconcile to City budgets as costs that should not be included in overhead for personnel in the application of determining fully burdened hourly rates were excluded. Examples of these costs are capital, debt, monetary transfers, contract costs, and other costs that are charged directly to the service requestor.

For fees, services, and penalties in which the full cost, existing fee, and suggested fee is listed as “NA”, the amount or percentage was not calculable. This is most common when either the current or the suggested fee includes a variable component that is not comparable on a one-to-one basis, a full cost was not calculated (for penalties, fines, market-based fees, or items not included in the study), or when there is not a current fee amount to compare against.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEASIDE
ADOPTING A COMPREHENSIVE FEE SCHEDULE FOR CITY SERVICES WHEREAS, the City of Seaside ("City") establishes fees and charges for municipal services, permits, applications, inspections, recreation programs, and other City services; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to maintain a fee schedule that reasonably reflects the cost of providing municipal services while ensuring that the cost of services benefiting individual users is borne primarily by those users rather than the general taxpayers; and
WHEREAS, the City retained Willdan Financial Services to prepare a Comprehensive User Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan to evaluate the City's cost of providing services and recommend updated fees based upon accepted cost allocation and cost recovery methodologies; and
WHEREAS, the Comprehensive User Fee Study evaluated fees administered by the Finance and City Clerk, Building and Code Enforcement, Planning, Engineering, Recreation, Fire, Police, and Animal Services Departments; and
WHEREAS, the Comprehensive User Fee Study establishes the estimated reasonable cost of providing each service and provides the basis for the fees proposed for adoption; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the fees adopted by this Resolution do not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the services for which the fees are imposed and are therefore consistent with applicable provisions of the California Constitution, including Article XIII C, Section 1(e), and applicable provisions of the California Government Code; and
WHEREAS, for development-related fees subject to Government Code Sections 66016 through 66018, the City made available the data supporting the proposed fees at Meeting Date: 7/2/2026
Item X.X
Packet Page 216
least ten (10) days prior to the public hearing and conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the proposed fees and receive public testimony; NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that The City Council hereby adopts the Comprehensive Fee Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit B, as amended by the City Council during the public hearing, and incorporated herein by this reference as the City's authorized rates, fees, and charges for the identified municipal services. Except as otherwise provided herein, the fees set forth in Exhibit B shall become effective upon the effective date of this Resolution. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66017, the Building, Engineering, and Planning fees shall become effective on September 1, 2026. Recreation fees shall become effective on January 1, 2027, to maintain consistency with the City's Recreation Activity Guide and established program registration cycle.

STAFF REPORT
Item No.: 10.B.
TO: City Council
FROM: Greg McDanel, City Manager
BY: Greg McDanel, City Manager
DATE: July 2, 2026
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION RENAMING THE COMMUNITY SOCIAL
SERVICES GRANT PROGRAM AS THE YOUTH OPPORTUNITY
GRANT PROGRAM, APPROVING THE REVISED POLICY, AND FY
2026-2027 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
RECOMMENDATION
Approve program renaming the Community Social Services Grant Program as the Youth Opportunity Grant Program, approving the revised Youth Opportunity Grant Program Policy, and approving the FY 2026-2027 Youth Opportunity Grant Program Request for Proposals.
BACKGROUND
The City of Seaside established the Community Social Services Grant Program in Fiscal Year 2020-2021 to support nonprofit, community-based, faith-based, and fiscally sponsored organizations that provide programs and services benefiting Seaside residents.
Since its inception, the program has awarded approximately $2.5 million through 43 grants supporting a broad range of community services, including youth development, education, recreation, public health, mental health, senior services, homelessness prevention, and community-building initiatives.
At its January 15, 2026 meeting, the City Council discussed the history and future direction of the program and provided policy direction regarding transparency, evaluation criteria, accountability measures, and funding priorities, including direction to Packet Page 236
Item No. 10.B. Page 2 of 3
narrow the program scope toward youth-serving activities.
On June 4, 2026, the City Council adopted a formal Community Social Services Grant Program Policy. The adopted policy established a framework for administration of future grant funding cycles and focused eligible funding on programs and services primarily benefiting Seaside children, adolescents, and transitional-age youth age 24 and younger. At that meeting, staff also committed to return with a Request for Proposals for Council review and approval prior to issuing the next grant cycle.
Following Council's June 4 action, staff prepared the FY 2026-2027 Request for Proposals consistent with the adopted policy and Council direction. The RFP establishes the application requirements, eligible program areas, evaluation process, scoring matrix, reporting expectations, and tentative schedule for the upcoming funding cycle.
In addition, the City Council requested that the program be renamed the Youth Opportunity Grant Program. The revised name more clearly communicates the Council's youth-focused policy direction while maintaining continuity with the previously established Community Social Services Grant Program. The revised policy attached to the resolution makes conforming name changes and retains the substantive framework adopted by the City Council.
The proposed RFP and revised policy continue to emphasize:
• Programs and services primarily benefiting Seaside youth age 24 and younger. • Transparent application requirements and published evaluation criteria. • A 100-point scoring matrix focused on youth-related community needs, program design and feasibility, anticipated outcomes and impact, equity and reach, organizational readiness and partnerships, and cost-effectiveness and match. • A minimum 10 percent cash or in-kind match from applicants. • City Council authority over final grant funding decisions. • Quarterly progress and expenditure reporting, final outcome reporting, and participation in Blue Ribbon Task Force meetings during the grant cycle.
Approval of the resolution will rename the program, approve the revised policy, and authorize issuance of the FY 2026-2027 RFP. All grant awards will return to the City Council for future consideration and approval. Approval of the RFP does not obligate the City to award funding to any applicant or in any specific amount.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with renaming the program, approving the revised policy, or approving issuance of the FY 2026-2027 RFP. Funding for future Youth Opportunity Grant Program awards will be determined by City Council through Packet Page 237
Item No. 10.B. Page 3 of 3
the annual budget process or subsequent Council action. All grant awards remain subject to future City Council approval.
