WWILLDAN Comprehensive User Fee Study
VERNON
Executive Summary
The City of Vernon 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.

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 benefits, 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 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.

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 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 exceeds 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.

Study Objective
As the City of Vernon 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 Vernon departments and fee groups:
• Administrative Fees
• Building
• Engineering
• Police
• Health and Environment Control
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. 4 Comprehensive User Fee Study

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 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.
5 Comprehensive User Fee Study
W WILLDAN
VERNON
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. 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 • Central service overhead costs allocated through the Cost Allocation Plan A key 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 engage 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 providing each service.

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 valuation-based fees, Recreation programs, 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 a valuation-based fees provides 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
• Reasonable 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:
W WILLDAN 8 Comprehensive User Fee Study
VERNON
• Previous fee levels may have been set at levels less than full cost intentionally, based on policy Position staffing levels, seniority, 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, which 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 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.

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 fixed rules to guide the City, since many of the considerations are based on the unique characteristics of the City of Vernon, 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.
W WILLDAN 10 Comprehensive User Fee Study
VERNON
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.
Comparisons and Benchmarking
While comparing the City's fees with surrounding jurisdictions was not a primary goal for this full cost analysis, it is typically desired knowledge to see where a City is as compared to its neighbors. Note that any comparison is not a reflection of what it costs to provide services in each City, but instead only what or how each City charges for similar names services. It is often the case that the processes covered, departments and personnel included, third party cost involved, each City's cost recovery, or the scope of what a service is covering will be different from City to City. Willdan does not make any statement about whether any such differences exist in the comparisons below or what effect they might have on the results.

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 have 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 are 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 have reviewed the full costs and identified the recommended fee levels for consideration by City Council.

Administrative Fees
Vernon's City Administration oversees the City's daily operations, public relations, information technology practices, legislative process, and finances. The City Administration Department also develops programs to benefit Vernon's business community. The Vernon City Council appoints the City Administrator, who acts as its chief staff advisor and provides essential information for the council's decision-making process.
Administrative fees include copies, filming, passport and miscellaneous fees.
Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with Administrative fees. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services to update the fee schedule.
Many of the fees and services listed under Administrative Fees are regulated fees, or fees not otherwise recommended to be changed. For the user fees evaluated as part of this study the analysis relied primarily upon a standard unit cost build-up approach, whereby the reasonable cost of each fee occurrence was determined using staff time involved in providing services 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 fees are currently set below the full cost of providing service. Staff is only recommending a decrease to the Return Checks fee from $26 to $25 per California Civil Code section 1719 and all other fees to remain as currently set.

Building
The Building division differs from most cities in that the City retains individual inspectors specifically trained to enforce specific branches of the construction industry, including building, electrical, mechanical and plumbing. The City contracts for structural review. Given the specialized knowledge of each inspector and the ability to freely communicate regarding specific projects it permits the City to expedite plan check review and handle specific issues unique to an industrial environment in an efficient manner.
Working in conjunction with Vernon Environmental Health, the Building division conducts an occupancy inspection for each and every tenant moving into the City. The purpose of this inspection is to inform the tenant of any code issues that may not permit the tenant to use the building as intended, including storage heights, food handling requirements, processes that will require special rooms, etc. It also provides a mechanism for the City to inspect the structure for the safety issues that could harm the tenant or its employees.
The Building division is responsible for enforcing and administering City, State and Federal Building and Safety Code regulations. This division provides services including plan checking, inspections of all new construction and renovated structures, capital improvement projects, additions and remodeling including all major heating, ventilation and air conditioning units, electrical, plumbing and structural systems. Other responsibilities include the issuance of Building, Electrical, Plumbing, and Mechanical permits.
Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services and programs associated with the Building Division. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services to update the fee schedule.
The analysis of Building 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 in providing services 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 fees are under funding the cost for most of the services. Staff is recommending the fees be adjusted as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
• An increase to 14 fees;
• 14 fees would decrease, and;
• 10 fees would remain as currently set.
In addition to the above referenced fees listed under Building, the Building Permit fees are also provided by this division. For the Building Permit fees, valuation is used as a proxy for measuring the effort needed to provide services on a case-by-case basis. This method is an industry standard widely used by other jurisdictions to evaluate the cost of providing service. It is generally understood that the larger and more complex a project is, the more time and effort that is required to provide the service. Project valuation also follows that trend. By using a combination of either project valuation or historical revenue figures along W WILLDAN 14 Comprehensive User Fee Study

with a multiplier or cost recovery analysis for historical and anticipated future trends, current cost recovery along with variability in charges due to project type and scale is determined. The result of the cost analysis completed for the Building Permit program found that the program is currently operating at 55% cost recovery based on activity level from fiscal year 2022-2023. Staff is recommending that the fees be increased to 100% cost recovery.

Engineering is responsible for administering City contracts and designing public improvements, such as roadways, storm drains, sewers, traffic signals and City-owned buildings. Engineering also maintains plans for city construction projects.
Analysis

The analysis of Engineering 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 in providing services 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 of the current fees are underfunding the cost of most of the services.
Staff is recommending the fees be adjusted as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
• An increase to 9 fees;
• 2 fees would decrease;
• 15 fees would remain as currently set, and;
• the average fee change would be an increase of 13% for current fees.

Police
The Vernon Police Department provides a full range of policing services to a very unique community comprised primarily of businesses and industry. The Vernon Police Department Patrol Division is the largest unit in the Police Department. The Patrol Division also utilizes a Bicycle Patrol Team, a Motor Unit, a Canine Team, and a D.A.R.E. Program for the local Vernon Elementary School.
Patrol officers respond to all calls for service from the community. They are responsible for handling a wide variety of duties including responding to emergencies, investigating crimes and filing reports, checking out suspicious persons and vehicles, conducting traffic accident investigations and enforcing all traffic laws.
Officers take a very pro-active approach to reducing the opportunity for crime and work closely with members of the business community to ensure a safe environment in which to conduct business. The officers maintain a high level of visibility within the community and work to identify and eliminate those conditions or situations that may be attractive to the criminal element.
Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services and programs associated with the Police Department. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services to update the fee schedule.
The analysis of Police 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 in providing services 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 the current fees are under funding the cost for most of the services. Staff is recommending the fees be adjusted as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
• An increase to 3 fees;
• 1 new fee would be added;
• 13 fees would remain as currently set, and;
• The average fee change would be an increase of 1%.

Health and Environmental Control
Vernon is focused on protecting the environment and ensuring the health and safety of its residents, workers, visitors and neighboring communities. Established in 1908, the Vernon Department of Health & Environmental Control (DHEC) provides comprehensive and efficient services to accomplish the goal, tailoring its operations to regulate and meet the needs of the City's large industrial sector.
The DHEC provides Vernon businesses and residents multiple programs to ensure that they are operating as required by local and State regulations. In addition, the department oversees numerous programs that cater to the basic needs of the community as a whole.
From food safety, water quality, solid waste, to sustainability, the DHEC functions as a resource hub for information on regulatory mandates, user-friendly guidance, specialized permitting, and education. These in-house experts are accessible to businesses and residents alike.
By maintaining its own municipal health authority, the community deals directly with Vernon DHEC officials to address important environmental and health-related issues, thus enhancing the City's ability to respond quickly, especially in critical times.
Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services and programs associated with the Health and Environment Control. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services to update the fee schedule.
A new fee schedule was established that relied primarily upon a standard unit cost build-up approach, whereby the reasonable cost of each fee occurrence was determined using staff time involved in providing services to recover the direct cost of staff and the pro-rata share of departmental costs, including indirect costs for City central services. The new fee schedule consists of 135 fees and is replacing the current schedule that consists of 61 fees. The new schedule is a better accounting of the effort needed for each listed service that corresponds to tiers within a service type. This schedule will more closely align with the cost of providing service and improve cost recovery as the current schedule has historically been providing these private benefit services without recovering its cost. Staff is recommending that the fees be set at full cost recovery as detailed in Appendix C.

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 operational costs by personnel cost. 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.

Appendix B-Salary and Benefit Hourly Rates
Below are Salary and Benefit hourly rates of staff positions. The hourly rates were used in the study to determine the full cost of each service when combined with the associated overhead rates. They include the salary and benefit costs for each position based on the City's salary step schedule for positions as well as the appropriate benefits depending on each position's bargaining unit. The total salary and benefits are then divided by 1,650 productive or billable hours to reduce the total 2,080 workable hours in a year to remove hours when positions are paid but not on the job such as holidays, paid leave, and sick pay. A further reduction of under 10% is made for administrative, general, or non-specific work hours. When a position is used in the study to identify direct work hours spent on a fee or service the applicable overhead rates of the operating unit (shown in Appendix A) is applied to that positions' salary and benefit rate to determine full cost recovery. For any user fee service request that is outside the scope of the fees detailed in Appendix C, or for services for which there is no fee currently set, the City can charge up to the full cost of the service by using the salary benefit rate of the positions below along with the appropriate overhead factors from Appendix A.
