Summary
The California Master Plan for Aging describes the many challenges faced by our seniors. It includes details on the needs of the 1 in 10 seniors with dementia and on the support needs of their caregivers.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, as of July 2022, approximately 32% of the population (3,350 individuals) in the City of Sonoma is aged 65 or older. Using the ratio from the California Master Plan, this would mean that 335 city residents are or could be suffering from dementia.

CarePartners Initiative (CPI) is a Sonoma based non-profit that was founded in 2019.

The organization is committed to helping those diagnosed with dementia and their caregivers and developing a "Dementia Friendly Community". They are submitting an application to Dementia Friendly America, a national organization, for a grant and guidance on how to build this community. Letters of support are a requirement of the application. If granted, CPI will also be named a Dementia Friendly American community partner under the name Dementia Friendly Sonoma Valley.

Recommended Council Action
Authorize the Mayor to sign the letter of support.

Alternative Actions

1. Do not authorize execution of the letter.

2. Do not authorize execution of the letter and request additional information.

Agenda Item Title
Public Hearing to Adopt a Resolution Amending the City of Sonoma Master Fee Schedule for Planning, Building, Public Works, and Special Events
Summary
The City of Sonoma has a Master Fee Schedule for services that benefit only the specific users of a service and do not benefit the general public as a whole. Fees are generated from a variety of services including building and planning permits, special event fees, appeal fees, public safety fees and water service fees (late fees & disconnect fees). Revenue from fees offsets costs of services that would otherwise be paid using general fund revenue. The City Council has the authority to establish these fees and charges as defined by state law.

On April 3, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution #18-2023 updating the City of Sonoma Master Fee Schedule for FY 2022-23. Upon further review, staff has identified fees that need to be removed, modified, or added to the Master Fee Schedule for Planning, Building, Public Works, and Special Event Permit Fees. A full list of the fees being modified or added and the reason for the change is attached to this report. A complete list of all fees for these Departments are provided as an exhibit to the attached Resolution.

If approved, the fees would become effective in 60 days, on November 17, 2023.

Recommended Council Action
Conduct Public Hearing and adopt a resolution approving the amendments to the City of Sonoma Master Fee Schedule.

Alternative Actions
Request additional information and/or direct staff to make changes to the fee schedule and return for subsequent adoption.

Financial Impact
Fees and charges comprise approximately 2.87% of General Fund Revenue. Total revenue derived from fees, fines, permits and licenses (excluding Business Licenses which are considered a tax) is projected to be about $697,000 exclusive of the proposed fee increases.

No additional revenue as a result of the updated fee schedule was included in the FY 2023-24 Budget.

ADJUSTING CITY OF SONOMA MASTER FEE SCHEDULE OF USER FEES,

LICENSES AND PERMIT CHARGES FOR PLANNING, BUILDING, PUBLIC WORKS, AND SPECIAL EVENTS.

WHEREAS, California Constitution, Article XI, Section 7 gives cities police power to engage in regulatory activities for which they may charge a fee for reimbursement of costs; and
WHEREAS, Article XIII C, section 1, subdivision (e) of the California Constitution provides that a “tax” does not include: (1) a charge imposed for a specific benefit conferred or privilege granted directly to the payor 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, (2) a charge imposed for a specific government service or product provided directly to the payor 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, (3) a charge imposed for the reasonable regulatory costs to a local government for issuing licenses and permits, performing investigations, inspections, and audits, and the administrative enforcement and adjudication thereof, (4) a charge imposed for entrance to or use of local government property, or the purchase, rental, or lease of local government property, and (5) a charge imposed as a condition of property development; and WHEREAS, on March 15, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution Number 18- 2023 adopting a schedule of user fees, licenses, and permit charges with an effective date of June 3, 2023; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to update existing charges and to establish new charges as described in the report attached as Exhibit “A” hereto including, but not limited to, those types of charges described above that do not constitute a tax; and WHEREAS, Article XIII C, section 1, subdivision (e) of the California Constitution and Government Code section 66014 provide that fees, including, but not limited to, fees for building inspections and fees for filing and processing applications, may not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee is charged; and
WHEREAS, Government Code section 66016 requires the City Council to hold a noticed public hearing prior to adopting a new fee or service charge, or prior to approving an increase in an existing fee or service charge; and WHEREAS, the City Council desires to adopt and/or increase the fees and service charges included in the report analyzing the associated costs therewith and attached hereto as Exhibit “A”, which has been prepared by City Staff; and Agenda Item #8.1:

WHEREAS, on September 18, 2023, the City Council of the City of Sonoma held a duly noticed Public Hearing to allow public input and review amendments to the adopted fees and charges; and
WHEREAS, the City Council hereby determines that the proposed fees do not meet the requirements for a “project” pursuant to Sections 15378(a) and 15378(b)(2) of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines and the action is statutorily exempt under Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(8) as the establishment and modification of charges by a public agency to meet operating expenses.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Sonoma hereby:

1. Determines the recitals above are true and correct and incorporated herein by this reference.

2. Establishes amendments to certain fees and charges as outlined in Exhibit A.

This deposit is to be applied towards the costs of processing the permit application, plan checking services, training fees, and other permit costs required to be paid by the applicant. Permit processing fees and training fees apply to every permit application. Plan checking fees only apply on those permit applications where plan review services are provided.

Once all costs and expenses are calculated for a project, any remaining balance will be refunded to the applicant.

The deposit is not a fee but is to be applied towards the payment of fees owed to the City.

The deposit amount approximates the costs of processing the permit application, plan checking services and training fees. Since an exact amount for these services cannot be determined at the time of application, the deposit amount is only an approximation of those fees. Round down to the nearest dollar.

Electrical Bollards
When organizations need to use electricity on the Plaza, it requires them to identify which bollards they need powered on. The Sr. Management Analyst works with the event organizer to identify their needs and what their options are for power. Public Works then needs to remove the safety plate from the bollard, turn on the circuit breaker to the bollard, and test to ensure it is working. Post event Public Works has to turn off the circuit and replace the safety plate to the bollard. The fee is determined by the initial clarification of electrical need and the cost per bollard to turn each one.

No refund after application has been processed. Full refund minus calculated staff costs based on time expended between time of application and issuance of refund if event has not been held.
