ACTION REPORT

January 25, 2018FROM: COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENTSUBJECT: USER FEES - BRENT STRONG

RECOMMENDATION:To review and recommend the proposed user fee changes including, but not limitedto, fee title changes, fee description changes, fee deletions, and implementation ofproposed new fees. Approve User Fees staff report as recommended by staff, submit to ManagementServices Department, and move forward to City Council for review/approval.

DISCUSSION:Every year at this time the City reviews its user fees. The user fee review processis managed by the Management Services Department. Each year City departmentsare required to review all fees that are ten (10) years old and also twenty-five(25%) of their remaining fees. During this time, the Community Services Department can also delete certain feeswhere the fee may no longer be applicable, appropriate, or based on decliningparticipation and community interest. In addition, a new fee may also be proposedfor a program or service that is not currently offered and where trending andincreased community interest may warrant the research and implementation of anew program or service and an appropriate corresponding fee imposed. Existingfees where an increase in the fee is being proposed is commonly due to severalfactors such as a modification to a program, activity, or facility use, growth in theprogram where additional costs for program expansion are necessary, or simplybringing the fee in line with benchmark cities who are offering the same or similarprogram or service. It is the goal of the Department to offer a quality program or service at a competitiveprice while attempting to maximize participation to the level of maximumaccommodation. The fee determination process includes the comparing of servicesor programs offered by the City of Fontana with similar services or programsoffered by surrounding benchmark cities. The cities that are used for mostcomparisons include, but are not limited to, Colton, Corona, Moreno Valley, Ontario,Rancho Cucamonga, Rialto, and San Bernardino. The Community ServicesDepartment may only be able to make a comparison of three (3) to five (5) cities onaverage to make a fee recommendation. Once this fee comparison information isobtained, the Community Services Department will recommend an appropriatecompetitive fee.

of 32


Beginning in 2011, at the request of the City Council and the direction of the CityManager, the Parks and Community Services Commission will participate in thereview and recommendation of all Community Services Department fees prior tothem being submitted to City Council for approval. The Community Services Department currently has 240 fees. As a result of thisyear's fee review, the Department has identified 54 fees in total that have beenreviewed in detail. The Department is recommending: * 5 New Fees*45 Increased Fees* 0 Decreased Fees* 4 Deleted Fees *54 total fees reviewed this fiscal year. The remaining 191 Community Services user fees were reviewed, recently adjustedor implemented, and, at this time, are being recommended for no change. Thisdetermination was made primarily due to the current fee for the service or programprovided being in line with what other benchmark cities are currently charging or thatan increase in a particular fee at this time may cause a decrease in participation. The Commission has been provided a summary matrix listing the 54 individual UserFees. This matrix identifies the fee titles and descriptions, comparison cityinformation, and the current and recommended fee amounts.

FISCAL IMPACT:Should all of the proposed recommendations be approved, the City will realize anestimated increase in General Fund revenue in the amount of $141,000 for a fulloperating year.

MOTION:Approve staff recommendation.
