BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY

AGENDA REPORT For meeting of: May 16, 2017

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council VIA: Magda Gonzalez, City Manager FROM: Yulia Carter, Finance Director TITLE: ADJUSTMENTS TO THE COST OF SERVICES SCHEDULE (USER FEES)

RECOMMENDATION:

1. Review results of the comprehensive User Fee study and proposed fee schedule; 2. Conduct a public hearing and adopt the attached resolution authorizing adjustments to

the City of Half Moon Bay Cost of Services Schedule (User Fees) for Fiscal Year 2017‐18, as proposed in Attachment 1;, and

3. Adopt a policy guideline for future annual cost of services increases based on the San Francisco – Oakland – San Jose (Bay Area) Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers Consumer Price Index (CPI‐W).

FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed fee schedule, if adopted, would result in a net annual increase to the General Fund revenue of approximately $405,300 based on current activity levels as presented in this report. Implementation of the new fees would be effective July 16, 2017. A minimum 60‐day notice is required for the user fees in accordance with California Government Code Section 66017. STRATEGIC ELEMENT: This recommendation supports the Fiscal Sustainability and Inclusive Governance Elements of the Strategic Plan. BACKGROUND: Municipal best practice guidelines state that staff should review the costs of providing fee‐related services in conjunction with development of the annual operating budget. A user fee and cost allocation model should be used as a basis for this review to ensure that the City of Half Moon Bay is utilizing comprehensive overhead rates and accurately accounting for the true cost of providing various programs and services within City operations. The last comprehensive cost of services study was performed in FY 2003‐04 by Maximus, calling for a need for a new study. In June, 2014, the City released an RFP for services related to an overhead cost allocation and comprehensive rate and fee study.

3

On August 19, 2014 the City Council awarded a contract to NBS Government Finance Group (NBS) to prepare a Cost Allocation Plan, Development Impact Fees (DIF) nexus study, and a Comprehensive Fee Study. The scope of the study included a comprehensive analysis of the total cost of providing services, including all applicable direct, indirect, and overhead costs associated with individual development‐related services (planning, building, public works, and administration).

The first part of this project, the overhead Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) model was developed by NBS in March 2015. Staff incorporated appropriate and defensible general and administrative cost allocations into the FY 2015‐16 budget, and later updated the same for FY 2016‐17. The purpose of the CAP implementation is to ensure that the City is accurately accounting for the true cost of providing various programs and services within its operations and maximizing recovery of General Fund indirect costs from identified operating departments, as well as from enterprise and other chargeable funds and projects.

The CAP model serves as the backbone for the overall cost of services analysis, as it is the City’s goal to identify overhead rates that can be used in the calculation of billable hourly rates for grants, fees, federal reimbursements, and other billings; and develop charges for user fees that comply with Proposition 218. A major goal of the user fee study was to build a model to allow the City to move closer to a full‐cost recovery when setting user fees.

The second part of the project included conducting a Development Impact Fee nexus study to review development impact mitigation fees imposed on new development, including capital outlay and park facilities, traffic mitigation, sewer connection and storm drainage fees. This study was sub‐contracted by NBS to Michael Baker International and was presented to Council on November 17, 2015. Following the Government Code and public hearing requirements the new development fees went into effect in January, 2016.

The final stage of the project includes review of the City’s cost of services schedule (user fees) to provide staff with a baseline for recommended revisions to the current fee schedule, which is the subject for today’s discussion. Included in the study, a benchmark comparison of the City’s fees was conducted to measure the market consistency of the City’s service charges. This analysis showed that there is a wide variety of service schedules and pricing methodology used by different municipalities, which makes comparisons difficult. However, the methodologies used to calculate the fees are consistent with those used among neighboring cities.

NBS presented preliminary results of the user fee study to the Finance Committee on May 8, 2017. The Committee recommended bringing results of the study the City Council as a public hearing to satisfy the Government Code requirements. The committee also discussed building in a legally defensible increase into the recommended fees to reflect the anticipated increases in the FY 2017‐18 budget compared to the FY 2016‐17 Adopted budget, which was used as a basis of the study. Staff has prepared a master fee schedule that factors the most recent CPI increase of 3.3% (February 2017) to the consultant recommended fees to arrive at the staff recommended user fees (Attachment 5).

DISCUSSION:

Conducting a comprehensive user fee study is not an annual requirement and only becomes valuable following significant shifts in the organization, local practices, legislative values or changes in legal requirements. Even if the City chooses to adjust fees automatically on an annual basis, certain fees can still be adjusted above or below the average rate at the Council’s direction. The full cost of services adjusted by CPI would be the City’s only limit in setting its fees. There are some exceptions to the Fee Schedule that do not lend themselves to strict analysis of cost recovery. These exceptions are fees that are limited or set by statute, fines and penalties. The examples of fees with a legal limit include the service charge on checks returned for non‐sufficient funds, or vehicle repossession release fee that is established and mandated by the State. Based on the results of the cost allocation plan (CAP) and individual and group meetings with each City department, the resulting report provides a calculation of the percentage of cost recovery currently attained for each service. This information provides staff and Council with a baseline for recommended revisions to the current fee schedule. A complete report of the User Fee Study prepared by NBS is included in Attachment 2 to the staff report and provides the objectives, approach and methodology of the study, as well as specific details and analysis, including cost recovery of the City’s Planning, Building, Public Works, Police, and Administrative activities. As part of this project, staff took the opportunity to clean up and consolidate redundant and rarely used fees, like duplication of documents available online, etc. While the majority of the fees show an increase, the study also identified 85 fees which will be lowered, which have also been incorporated in the Master Fee Schedule (Attachment 5).

As shown in the table below, the City is currently recovering approximately 56% of the costs associated with providing user and regulatory fee‐related services. At the recommended level, the City will recover approximately 99% of the costs, which would translate into $405,300 in additional revenues based on prior year activity level. If the Council chose to add the 3.3% CPI‐W increase to these recommended fees, this would bring an additional $30,800. Should the Council decide to adopt a policy of 100% recovery for all fees included in the report, approximately $14,000 in additional costs could be recovered.

Staff recommends setting the fees by using a 100% recovery rate for the majority of City services. The rationale behind this recommendation is that the City should target a full cost recovery for services that provide private benefit (e.g. majority of building and planning services). This assumes that the City’s goal should be to maximize revenues from user fees to recover full cost of service, and only offer subsidy for services that provide public benefit (e.g. public safety, children and senior services and activities, etc.). Included in this report are several fee categories that are not being recommended to recover 100% of the cost of providing various services. There are economic, policy and social reasons why staff does not recommend setting all fees at 100% of their cost recovery amount. Staff recommends subsidizing some fees like block party permits, public safety service fees and solar panel permit fees to encourage and alleviate citizens’ burdens for certain activities. Certain planning fees related to appeals are also proposed to be subsidized to maintain local control. Additional information on city services that are recommended at less than 100% recovery rate can be found in Attachment 3 to this staff report. Parks and Recreation Fees were not originally included in the scope of the user fee study, as these services were provided through a contract with Boys & Girls Club, and the City did not collect nor benefit from revenues associated with these services. In preparation for bringing these services back in‐house this July, Staff has compiled a schedule of Parks and Recreation Fees previously approved by City Council and/or used by Boys & Girls Club (Attachment 4). Staff recommends that these fees remain unchanged and be included in the City’s master fee schedule at this time to ensure easy transition and continuity of Parks & Recreation services provided to the community. Staff also recommends a comprehensive review of these fees in about a 6‐12 months after the new Parks and Recreation program is established and fully functional.

6

Staff also recommends that the Council adopt the guidelines to adjust most fees annually based on the San Francisco – Oakland – San Jose (Bay Area) Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers Consumer Price Index (CPI‐W). As noted previously, conducting a comprehensive user fee study becomes valuable when following significant shifts in the organization, local practices or legal requirement changes. Even if the Council chooses to adjust fees automatically on an annual basis, certain fees can still be adjusted above or below the average rate at the Council’s discretion within the full cost of services limits increased by CPI. Staff also recommends that the City follows best practices of performing a comprehensive cost allocation and user fee study every five years to ensure that the current fee structure is thoroughly studied and reviewed on a regular basis.

Citywide User Fee Study – City of Half Moon Bay 1 Prepared by NBS

Executive Summary

NBS performed a User Fees and Charges Study (Study) for the City of Half Moon Bay (City). The purpose of this report

is to describe the Study’s findings and recommendations, which intend to defensibly update and establish user and

regulatory fees for service for the City of Half Moon Bay, California.

California cities impose user fees and regulatory fees for services and activities they provide through provisions of

the State Constitution. First, cities may perform broad activities related to their local policing power and other

service authority as defined in Article XI, Sections 7 and 9. Second, cities may establish fees for service through the

framework defined in Article XIIIC, Section 1. Under this latter framework, a fee may not exceed the estimated

reasonable cost of providing the service or performing the activity. For a fee to qualify as such, it must relate to a

service or activity under the control of the individual/entity on which the fee is imposed. For example, the

individual/entity requests service of the municipality or his or her actions specifically cause the municipality to

perform additional activities. In this manner, the service or the underlying action causing the municipality to perform

service is either discretionary and/or is subject to regulation. As a discretionary service or regulatory activity, the

user fees and regulatory fees considered in this Study fall outside requirements for imposition of taxes, special taxes,

or fees imposed as incidences of property ownership.

The City’s chief purposes in conducting this Study were to ensure that existing fees do not exceed the costs of service

and to provide an opportunity for the City Council to re-align fee amounts with the adopted cost recovery policies.

Outcomes

This Study examined user and regulatory fees managed by the following City departments and programs:

Administrative departments such as City Manager, City Clerk, and Finance

Community development departments, including, Planning, Public Works, and Building

Police

The Study identified approximately $528,000 currently collected per year from fees for service, versus $947,000 of

eligible costs for recovery from fees for service. The following table provides a summary of results for each service

area studied:

Total $ 528,348 $ 947,244 $ (418,897) 56% $ 933,671 99%12


As shown, the City is recovering approximately 56% of costs associated with providing user and regulatory fee related

services. Should the Council elect to adopt fee levels at 100% of the full cost recovery amounts determined by this

Study, an additional $419,000 in costs could be recovered. However, as discussed in Section 1 of this report, there

are reasons for adopting a fee at less than the calculated full cost recovery amount. As such, City staff provided initial

recommended fee amounts for the Council’s consideration. If Council elects to adopt fee levels at staff’s initial

recommendations, an additional $405,000 in costs could be recovered, or a 99% cost recovery outcome for services

provided.

Report Format

This report documents analytical methods and data sources used throughout the Study, presents findings regarding

current levels of cost recovery achieved from user and regulatory fees, discusses recommended fee amounts, and

provides a comparative survey of fees imposed by neighboring agencies for similar services.

Section 1 of the report outlines the foundation of the Study and general approach.

Sections 2 through 7 discuss the results of the cost of service analysis performed, segmented by category

of fee and/or department. The analysis applied to each category/department falls into studies of: the fully

burdened costs of providing service, establishment of fee categories and amounts, evaluation of current

cost recovery levels, and the recommended fees for providing services.

Section 8 provides the grand scope conclusions of the analysis provided in the preceding sections.

Appendices to this report include additional analytical details for each department or division studied, and

a comparison of fees imposed by neighboring agencies for similar services.

An updated Master Fee Schedule document will accompany the City’s Staff Report.

Section 1 – Introduction and Fundamentals

Scope of Study

The following is a summarized list of fees for each City department or program studied:

Administrative fees, including:

o Returned checks

o Copies and duplication requests

o Election filing fees

o Hourly rates for staff research requests

o Alarm permits

o Special event permits

o Annual parking permit processing for Poplar Beach

Planning fees, including:

o Pre-entitlement processing

o Coastal development permits

o Environmental review

o Design review

o Entitlement processing and appeals

Public Works fees, including:

o Improvements within the right-of-way

o Final map review and approval

o Grading review and inspection

o Encroachment permits

Building and Safety permits

Police permits for miscellaneous records requests, etc.

The fees examined in this Study specifically excluded utility rates, development impact fees, and special assessments,

all of which fall under distinct analytical and procedural requirements different from the body of user/regulatory

fees analyzed in this effort. Additionally, this Study excluded facility and equipment rental rates, as well as most of

the fines and penalties that may be imposed by the City for violations to its requirements or code. (The City is not

limited to the costs of service when charging for entrance to or use of government property, or when imposing fines

and penalties.)

14


Methods of Analysis

There are three phases of analysis completed for each City department or program studied:

1) Cost of service analysis

2) Fee establishment

3) Cost recovery evaluation

Cost of Service Analysis

A cost of service analysis is a quantitative effort that compiles the full cost of providing governmental services and

activities. There are two primary types of costs considered: direct and indirect costs. Direct costs are those that

specifically relate to the activity in question, including the real-time provision of the service. Indirect costs are those

that support provision of services in general, but cannot be directly assigned to the fee for service in question.

Components of the full cost of service include direct labor costs, indirect labor costs, specific direct non-labor costs

where applicable, allocated non-labor costs, and allocated City-wide overhead. Definitions of these cost

components are as follows:

Labor costs – Salary, wages and benefits expenses for City personnel specifically involved in the provision of services and activities to the public.

Indirect labor costs – Personnel expenses supporting the provision of services and activities. This can include line supervision and departmental management, administrative support within a department, and staff involved in technical activities related to the direct services provided to the public.

Specific direct non-labor costs – Discrete expenses incurred by the City due to a specific service or activity performed, such as contractor costs, third-party charges, and very specific materials used in the service or activity. (In most fee types, this component is not used, as it is very difficult to directly assign most non-labor costs at the activity level.)

Allocated indirect non-labor costs – Expenses other than labor for the departments involved in the provision of services. In most cases, these costs are allocated across all services provided by a department, rather than directly assigned to fee categories.

Allocated indirect organization-wide overhead – These are expenses, both labor and non-labor, related to agency-wide support services. Support services include general administrative services such as City Council, City Manager, City Clerk, City Attorney, Human Resources, Finance, and Information Services, as well as cost burdens for building and equipment use and maintenance. An agency’s support services departments assist the direct providers of public service. The amount of costs attributable to each department or program included in this Study were sourced from a separate Cost Allocation Plan, prepared by NBS.

All cost components in this Study use annual (or annualized) figures, representing a twelve-month cycle of expenses

incurred by the City in the provision of all services and activities agency-wide.

Nearly all of the fees under review in this Study require specific actions on the part of City staff to provide the service

or conduct the activity. Because labor is the primary underlying factor in these activities, the Study expresses the

15


full cost of service as a fully burdened cost per labor hour. NBS calculates a composite, fully burdened, hourly rate

for each department, division, program, or activity, as applicable to the specific organization and needs of each area

studied. The rate serves as the basis for further quantifying the average full cost of providing individual services and

activities.

Deriving the fully burdened labor rate for each department, and various functional divisions within a department,

requires two figures: the full costs of service and the number of hours available to perform those services. The full

costs of service are quantified through the earlier steps described in this analysis. NBS derives the hours available

from a complete listing of all personnel employed by the City.

A full-time employee equates to 2,080 hours per year of regular time. Using this as an initial benchmark of labor

time, the Study removes the average employee’s eligible annual leave from the total number of regular paid hours

to generate the total number of available labor hours for each City department or program. These available hours

represent the amount of productive time available for providing both fee-recoverable and non-fee recoverable

services and activities. The productive labor hours divided into the annual full costs of service equals the composite

fully burdened labor rate. Some agencies also use the resulting rates for other purposes than setting fees, such as

when the need arises to calculate the full cost of general services, or structure a cost recovery agreement with

another agency or third party.

Fully burdened labor rates applied at the individual fee level estimate an average full cost of providing each service

or activity. This step required the development of staff time estimates for the services and activities listed in the

City’s fee schedule. In some fee programs, the City’s time tracking records were useful in identifying time spent

providing general categories of service (e.g. plan review, inspection, public assistance, etc.). However, the City does

not systematically track activity service time for all departments or all fee services provided. Consequently,

interviews and questionnaires were used to develop the necessary data sets describing estimated labor time. In

most cases, City staff estimated the average amount of time (in minutes and hours) it would take to complete a

typical occurrence of each service or activity considered. Every attempt was made to ensure that each department

having a direct role in the provision of each service or activity provided a time estimate.

It should be noted that the development of these time estimates was not a one-step process: estimates received

were carefully reviewed by both consultant and departmental management to assess the reasonableness of such

estimates. Based on this review, the City reconsidered its time estimates until both parties were comfortable that

the fee models reasonably reflected the average service level provided by the City. Then, staff’s time estimates were

applied to the appropriate fully burdened labor rate to yield an average full cost of the service or activity.

The average full cost of service is just that: an average cost at the individual fee level. The City does not currently

have the systems in place to impose fees for every service or activity based on the actual amount of time it takes to

serve each individual. Moreover, such an approach is almost universally infeasible without significant – if not

unreasonable – investments in costly technology. Much of the City’s fee schedule is composed of flat fees, which by

definition, are linked to an average cost of service; thus, use of this average cost method is the predominant

approach in proceeding toward a schedule of revised fees. Flat fee structures based on average costs of service are

widely applied among other California municipalities, and it is a generally accepted approach. (Refer to the

subsection below regarding “Fee Establishment” for further discussion.)

Subsequent chapters and the appendices of this report discuss the completed cost of service analysis developed

for each department or division. 16


Fee Establishment

Many of the City’s fees are flat fees, meaning they correspond directly to the average full cost of service result. For

the few activities where estimating an average was impossible – due to the highly variable nature of the service –

use of fully burdened hourly rates coupled with time tracking is the preferred fee structure. (In other words, the

City would impose a fee per hour of staff time, requiring some degree of time estimation or outright time-tracking

at the case level.)

Establishing fees also includes a range of considerations, as described below:

Addition to and deletion of fees – The Study’s process provided each department the opportunity to propose

additions and deletions to their fee schedules, as well as rename, reorganize, and clarify fees imposed. Many

such revisions better conform fees to current practices, as well as improve the calculation of fees owed by an

individual, the application of said fees, and the collection of revenues. In other words, as staff is more

knowledgeable and comfortable working with the fee schedule, the accuracy achieved in both imposing fees

on users and collecting revenues for the City is greater. Beyond this, some additions to the fee schedule were

simply identification of existing services or activities performed by City staff for which no fee is currently

charged.

Revision to the structure of fees – In most cases, the current structure of fees did not change; the focus is to

recalibrate the fee amount to match the costs of service. In several cases, however, fee categories and fee

names were simplified or re-structured to increase the likelihood of full cost recovery, or to enhance the

fairness of how the fee applies to various types of fee payers.

Documentation of tools to calculate special cost recovery – The City’s fee schedule should include the list of

fully burdened rates developed by the Study. Documenting these rates in the fee schedule provides an

opportunity for the City Council to approve rates for cost recovery under a “time and materials” approach. It

also provides clear publication of those rates, so fee payers of any uniquely determined fee can reference the

amounts. The fee schedule should provide language that supports special forms of cost recovery for activities

and services not contemplated by the adopted master fee schedule. These rare instances use the published

rates to estimate a flat fee, or bill on an hourly basis, at the discretion of the director of each department.

Cost Recovery Evaluation

The NBS fee model compares the existing fee for each service or activity to the average full cost of service quantified

through this analysis. A cost recovery rate of 0% identifies no current recovery of costs from fee revenues (or

insufficient information available for evaluation). A rate of 100% means that the fee currently recovers the full cost

of service. A rate between 0% and 100% indicates partial recovery of the full cost of service through fees. A rate

greater than 100% means that the fee exceeded the full cost of service.

User fees and regulatory fees examined in this Study should not exceed the full cost of service. In other words, the

cost recovery rate achieved by a fee should not be greater than 100%. In most cases, imposing a fee above this

threshold could require the consensus of the voters.

17


NBS also assists with modeling the “recommended” or “targeted” level of cost recovery for each fee, always

established at 100%, or less, than the calculated full cost of service. Targets and recommendations always reflect

agency-specific judgments linked to a variety of factors, such as existing City policies, agency-wide or departmental

revenue objectives, economic goals, community values, market conditions, level of demand, and others.

A general means of selecting an appropriate cost recovery target is to consider the public and private benefits of the

service or activity in question.

To what degree does the public at large benefit from the service?

To what degree does the individual or entity requesting, requiring, or causing the service benefit?

When a service or activity completely benefits the public at large, there is generally little to no recommended fee

amount (i.e., 0% cost recovery), reflecting that a truly public-benefit service is best funded by the general resources

of the City, such as General Fund revenues (e.g., taxes). Conversely, when a service or activity completely benefits

an individual or entity, there is generally closer to or equal to 100% of cost recovery from fees, collected from the

individual or entity. An example of a completely private benefit service may be a request for exemption from a City

regulation or process.

In some cases, a strict public-versus-private benefit judgment may not be sufficient to finalize a cost recovery target.

Any of the following other factors and considerations may influence or supplement the public/private benefit

perception of a service or activity:

If optimizing revenue potential is an overriding goal, is it feasible to recover the full cost of service?

Will increasing fees result in non-compliance or public safety problems?

Are there desired behaviors or modifications to behaviors of the service population helped or hindered through the degree of pricing for the activities?

Does current demand for services support a fee increase without adverse impact to the citizenry served or

current revenue levels? (In other words, would fee increases have the unintended consequence of driving

away the population served?)

Is there a good policy basis for differentiating between type of users (e.g., residents and non-residents,

residential and commercial, non-profit entities and business entities)?

Are there broader City objectives that inform a less than full cost recovery target from fees, such as

economic development goals and local social values?

Because this element of the Study is subjective, NBS provides the full cost of service calculation information and the

framework for considering fees, while those closest to the fee-paying population – the City departments and

programs – have considered appropriate cost recovery levels at or below that full cost for the Council’s review.

Comparative Fee Survey

Often policy makers request a comparison of their jurisdiction’s fees to surrounding or similar communities. The

purpose of a comparison is to provide a sense of the local market pricing for services, and to use that information to

gauge the impact of recommendations for fee adjustments.

Appendix B presents the results of the Comparative Fee Survey for the City of Half Moon Bay. NBS worked with the

City to choose five comparative agencies: Cities of Belmont, Brisbane, Hillsborough, Pacifica, and Woodside.

NBS notes the following about the approach to, and use of, comparative survey data:

Comparative surveys do not provide information about the cost recovery policies or procedures inherent in each

comparison agency.

A “market based” decision to price services below the full cost of service calculation, is the same as making a

decision to subsidize that service.

Comparative agencies may or may not base their fee amounts on the estimated and reasonable cost of providing

services. NBS did not perform the same level of analysis provided for this Study on the comparative agencies’

fees.

Comparative fee survey efforts are often non-conclusive for many fee categories. Comparison agencies typically

use varied terminology for provision of similar services.

In general, NBS reasonably attempts to source each comparison agency’s fee schedule from the Internet, and

compile a comparison of the City’s existing fee categories and amounts for the most readily comparable fee items

that match the client’s existing fee structure.

Data Sources

The following City-published data sources were used to support the cost of service analysis and fee establishment

phases of this Study:

The City of Half Moon Bay’s Adopted Budget for Fiscal Year 2016-17.

A complete listing of all City personnel, salary/wage rates, regular hours, paid benefits, and paid leave amounts – provided by the Finance Department.

Various correspondences with the City staff supporting the adopted budgets and current fees, including budget notes and expenditure detail not shown in the published document.

Prevailing fee schedules provided by each involved department.

Annual workload data from the prior fiscal year provided by each involved department or program studied.. The City’s adopted budget is the most significant source of information affecting cost of service results. NBS did not audit or validate the City’s financial management and budget practices, nor was cost information adjusted to reflect different levels of service or any specific, targeted performance benchmarks. This Study has accepted the City’s budget as a legislatively adopted directive describing the most appropriate and reasonable level of City spending.

19


Consultants accept the City Council’s deliberative process and ultimate acceptance of the budget plan and further assert that through that legislative process, the City has yielded a reasonable expenditure plan, valid for use in setting cost-based fees.

Original data sets also support the work of this Study: primarily, estimated staff time at various levels of detail. To

develop these data sets, consultants prepared questionnaires and conducted interviews with individual

departments. In the fee establishment phase of the analysis, departmental staff provided estimates of average time

spent providing a service or activity corresponding with an existing or new fee. Consultants and departmental

management reviewed and questioned responses to ensure the best possible set of estimates.

20


Section 2 – Administrative Fees

Most activities and services provided by Half Moon Bay’s administrative departments are not recoverable via user

or regulatory fees. The scope of this analysis focused solely on various administrative processing fees involving the

City Manager, City Clerk, and/or Finance departments.


NBS developed a composite fully-burdened hourly rate for the City Manager, City Clerk, and Finance departments,

as shown below:

Section 1, Cost of Service Analysis, of this report describes the types of expenditures and allocated costs considered

in the development of these rates. All subsequent administrative fee calculations will incorporate the fully burdened

hourly rates of $221, $175, and $189, depending on which department provides the fee for service.

Fee Establishment

The list of fees shown in Appendix A.1 to this report incurred some notable changes, deletions, and/or additions to

the City’s existing fee schedule.

Returned Check fees are regulated (capped) by the State at $25 for the first check, and $35 for each

subsequent check. Recommended fee amounts were adjusted accordingly.

Several fees pertaining to duplication (copy) requests were recommended for elimination, including copies

of Municipal Code, City Budget, CAFR, and subscription services for commission and Council agendas, all of

which are available via the City’s website.

Certification of Documents fee for the City Clerk was eliminated. This service is now consolidated with the

County.

Staff Research fees were restructured to a blended rate per department or program performing the service.

Taxi Cab License fees were deleted, as the City’s updated Municipal Code requires operators to have permits

from another City in San Mateo County.

Appendix A.1 presents the results of the detailed cost recovery analysis for the City’s various administrative fees.

The “Cost of Service per Activity” column establishes the maximum adoptable fee amount for the corresponding

service identified in the “Fee Description” list.

The City’s general administrative fees currently recover approximately 46% of the cost of providing services. As

shown in the following table, the City collects approximately $14,000 per year in revenues at current fee amounts.

At full cost recovery, the same demand for these services would generate approximately $31,000.

NBS provided the full cost of service information and the framework for considering fees, while those closest to the

fee-paying population, the City departments, considered appropriate cost recovery levels at or below that full cost.

The “Recommended Fee” column in Appendix A.1 displays the City staff’s initially recommended fee amounts. These

initial recommendations for adjusted fee amounts increase cost recovery for these services by approximately

$17,000 Fees would recover approximately 100% of the total costs of providing fee related services.

Section 3 – Planning Fees

The Planning Division performs a variety of functions that are intended to conserve and enhance the City’s

environmental resources and scenic beauty, to preserve its historic resources and small town heritage, to manage

the community’s growth rate, and to enforce the policies and regulations related to land use and development.


The following categorizes the Planning Division’s costs across both fee related and non-fee related services, as well

as the resulting fully-burdened hourly rate applicable toward establishing the full cost of providing fee related

services.


in the development of an hourly rate. All subsequent cost of service calculations at the individual fee level assume a

fully burdened hourly rate of $211, with maximum recovery of approximately $669,000 in costs from fees for service.

The cost category columns shown in the table above were adapted and summarized from Division staff interviews.

To assist the reader in understanding the underlying costs and assumptions used to calculate the fully burdened

hourly rate, the following provides summary descriptions of each cost category:

GP/LCP – Planning staff support the ongoing maintenance and cyclical update of the City’s General Plan (GP)

and Local Community Plans (LCP). These costs do not apply toward recovery from Planning and Zoning review

fees for service.

Special Projects – Planning staff support the Council and City management’s requests for research requests and

special project support. These costs do not apply toward recovery from Planning and Zoning review fees for

service.

CIP Support – Planning staff support the review and implementation of various City capital improvement projects. These costs do not apply toward recovery from Planning and Zoning review fees.

Public Information – Activities associated with responding to phone calls and supporting both active permits

and the development review process in general. Typically, some portion of costs for provision of general public

information and assistance do not apply toward recovery from fees. Planning staff estimated that approximately

60% of these costs support land use application review activities, while the remaining costs should be not be

considered in the calculation of fees for services. The remaining 40% of the costs of providing public information

services requires funding from sources other than fees.

Application and Permitting Services – Development review and approval comprises the majority of this Division’s work efforts. 100% of these costs apply toward recovery from Planning and Zoning fees for service.

Significant analytical and policy decisions revolve around inclusion of categorized activity costs in the fully burdened

hourly rate. The decision of whether to apply or exclude certain costs toward recovery in fees for service stems from

the basic fee setting parameters offered by the California State Constitution and Statutes, which requires that any

new fee levied or existing fee increased should not exceed the estimated amount required to provide the service for

which the charge is levied.

Fee Establishment

Half Moon Bay’s Planning Division currently charges for application processing and entitlement review services via

a mixture of “flat” fees and “deposit based” fees. Flat fees charge one finite amount per project. Deposit based fees

require an initial deposit of funds to begin processing of an application, time is tracked and billed to the project by

City staff against the deposit amount, and additional funds are either requested from the applicant as needed, or

refunds are provided to the at completion of the project.

The City revaluated each fee item on the Planning Division’s current list of fees as to whether it should be charged

as a flat fee or a deposit based fee. The City re-grouped and re-ordered many of the fees for better organization, and

deleted several fee items. New fee items added include Pre-Application Review, Minor Amendment, and a new

deposit requested from developers for processing of Appeals.

While this section of the User Fee Study Report focuses on the Planning Division’s costs and fees, the Public Works

Engineering Division also participates in the review of Planning’s applications. As such, the Engineering Division’s

analysis establishes additional deposit amounts for their review, when required.


Appendix A.2 presents the results of the detailed cost recovery analysis for the Planning Division’s fees. The “Cost

of Service per Activity” column establishes the maximum adoptable fee amount for the corresponding service

identified in the “Fee Description” list.

The City’s Planning and Zoning fees currently recover approximately 32% of the Planning Division’s cost of providing

services. As shown in the following table, the City collects approximately $100,000 per year in revenues at current

fee amounts. At full cost recovery, the same demand for these services would generate approximately $313,000.

The “Recommended Fee / Deposit Level” column in Appendix A.2 displays the City staff’s initially recommended flat

fee or deposit amounts. These initial recommendations for adjusted fee amounts would increase the Planning

Division’s costs recovered by approximately $205,000. Recommended fee amounts recover approximately 98% of

the total costs of providing fee related services.

The cost recovery evaluation described above assumes that the full deposit amount for each entitlement, on

average, is required to complete the project. In instances where the full deposit amount is not required, the balance

of the deposit should be refunded. In some instances, additional funds are requested for completion of City review

and approval. The analysis completed by NBS focuses on calibrating deposit amounts to reflect the average level of

effort required for each fee item.

25


Section 4 – Public Works (Engineering) Fees

The Public Works Department provides various services to ensure safe living conditions and enhance life quality in

Half Moon Bay. The engineering staff develops master plans, prepares designs and studies, administers construction

contracts for the improvements to the City’s buildings and grounds, streets, sidewalks, trails, parks, parking lots,

drainage facilities, sewer collection and street lighting system..


The Engineering Division of the Public Works Department plan checks and inspects development requests for

improvements within the City’s right-of way, reviews entitlements and final maps, and issues encroachment permits.

The following categorizes the Engineering Division’s costs across both fee related and non-fee related services, as

well as the resulting fully-burdened hourly rate applicable toward establishing the full cost of providing fee related

services.


in the development of hourly rates. The total estimated cost of the Engineering Division’s fee related activities is

approximately $495,000 annually. All subsequent fee calculations will incorporate the fully burdened hourly rate of

$191 for Public Works services.

The cost category columns shown in the table above were adapted and summarized from Division staff interviews.

To assist the reader in understanding the underlying costs and assumptions used to calculate the fully burdened

hourly rate, the following provides summary descriptions of each cost category:

Public Counter / General Information – Activities associated with responding to phone calls and supporting

both active permits and the development review process in general. Typically, some portion of costs for

provision of general public information and assistance do not apply toward recovery from fees. Engineering staff

estimated that approximately 60% of these costs support land use application review activities, while the

remaining costs should be not be considered in the calculation of fees for services. The remaining 40% of the

costs of providing public information services requires funding from sources other than fees.

Traffic Engineering, NPDES Regulation, and Capital Improvement Project (CIP) Support – Engineering staff

Private Development / Permitting – Development review and permitting comprises a significant portion of this Division’s work efforts. 100% of these costs apply toward recovery from Engineering fees for service.

Significant analytical and policy decisions revolve around inclusion of categorized activity costs in the fully burdened

hourly rate. The decision of whether to apply or exclude certain costs toward recovery in fees for service stems from

the basic fee setting parameters offered by the California State Constitution and Statutes, which requires that any

new fee levied or existing fee increased should not exceed the estimated amount required to provide the service for

which the charge is levied.

Fee Establishment

The Engineering Division overhauled their existing approach to charging fees. Notable changes include adjustments

to the fee structure for Public Improvement Plan Check and Inspection. City staff created additional tiers in the fee

structure to accommodate smaller projects, and eliminated tiers above $500,000 in construction value. NBS also

recommended that scaling between tiers be done on an incremental, rather than percentage basis. Fees for

Encroachment Permits were expanded to include separate fee categories for the type of encroachment requested,

rather than a single fee category to cover all encroachment requests per current practice. Staff also added separate

fee categories for Grading Permits, which were previously combined within the general encroachment permits

category, and deleted fees for Annual Encroachment Permits for Utility Companies and Developer Agreements.

Finally, this Study quantified Engineering’s average cost of reviewing planning entitlements. The amounts shown

could be added to the Planning Divison’s deposit amount as needed to better recover for Engineering’s efforts to set

conditions of approval or provide input during this phase of City review.


Appendix A.3 presents the results of the detailed cost recovery analysis for the City’s Public Works fees. The “Total

Cost of Service per Activity” column establishes the maximum adoptable fee amount for the corresponding service

identified in the “Fee Name” list.

The City’s Public Works fees currently recover approximately 17% of the Department’s cost of providing services. As

shown in the following table, the City collects approximately $24,000 per year in revenues at current fee amounts.

At full cost recovery, the same demand for these services would generate approximately $144,000.



The “Recommended Fee” column in Appendix A.3 displays the City staff’s initially recommended fee amounts. These

initial recommendations for adjusted fee amounts would increase fee revenue for this Department by approximately

$120,000. Fees at recommended amounts would recover approximately 100% of the total costs of providing fee

related services.

Section 5 – Building Fees

The mission of the Building and Safety Program is to ensure public safety, health and welfare through the effective

administration and enforcement of local ordinances and California Building Codes.


The following table categorizes the Building Division’s costs across both fee related and non-fee related services, as

well as the resulting fully-burdened hourly rate applicable toward establishing the full cost of providing fee related

services.

All subsequent cost of service calculations at the individual fee level assume a fully burdened hourly rate of $158,

with maximum allowable recovery of approximately $367,000 in costs from fees for service. Processing, reviewing,

and inspecting building permit applications comprises the majority of this Division’s work efforts. 100% of these

costs apply toward recovery from Building’s fees for service. The Building Division also provides code enforcement

services for the City. These costs are not targeted for recovery in building permit fees, and typically are funded by

the General Fund and/or fines and penalties.

Fee Establishment

Half Moon Bay’ fees for building plan review and inspection services are based on what is known in the industry as

the “valuation-based” fee setting approach. Establishing the current fee generally works as follows:

The City calculates an estimated project value from the builder, or builder representative applying for

permit.

Using the valuation amount, the City uses the existing adopted fee table to calculate to recover the costs

of plan review, inspection and permitting.

It should be noted that NBS did not evaluate the basis for establishing “project value” for any given project. This

information is supplied and maintained by the City. NBS focused on calibrating the fee table to reflect the estimated

and reasonable cost of providing services as relates to the level of effort required for various “tiers” of project value

sizes.

In addition to valuation-based project fees, the City’s fee structure includes:

Scaled fees per 100 square feet for mechanical, plumbing, and electrical work that accompanies a building

permit

Flat fees for mechanical, plumbing, electrical work not associated with a larger building permit project

Flat fees for minor permits such as solar installation, demolition, re-inspection, etc.

Very few modifications to the City’s existing fee structure were made during the Study’s process. The primary focus of the Building Division’s analysis was to ensure calibration of fee amounts to appropriate cost recovery levels, as discussed in the Cost Recovery Evaluation section, below.


Appendix A.4 presents the results of the detailed cost recovery analysis for the Building Division’s fees. The “Cost of

Service per Activity” column establishes the maximum adoptable fee amount for the corresponding service

identified in the “Fee Description” list.

The City’s Building fees currently recover approximately 102% of the Division’s cost of providing services. As shown

in the following table, the City collects approximately $374,000 per year in revenues at current fee amounts. At full

cost recovery, the same demand for these services would generate approximately $366,000.



The “Recommended Fee Level” column in Appendix A.4 displays the City staff’s initially recommended fee amounts.

Section 6 – Police Fees

The San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office provides all-inclusive enforcement services under contract for the City of Half

Moon Bay. The scope of this user and regulatory fee analysis for Police focused solely on fees for various

administrative records and processing requests provided by this Department.


The majority of services provided by the Police Department are not recoverable in user/regulatory fees for service.

To support the unique operational aspects of public safety, the NBS fee model derived fully burdened labor rates for

sworn and non-sworn personnel.


in the development of these rates. All subsequent administrative fee calculations will incorporate the fully burdened

hourly rates of $218, and $83, respectively.

Fee Establishment

The list fees shown in Appendix A.5 to this report did not incur many significant changes, deletions, or additions from

the City’s prior fee schedule. Notable changes include deletion of Massage Establishment licensing fees for

technicians, which recently changed to process through the State, and combining of Public Dance permitting fees

into a single category, regardless of the presence of alcohol at the event.


Appendix A.5 presents the results of the cost recovery analysis for Police. The “Cost of Service per Activity” column

establishes the maximum adoptable fee amount for the corresponding service identified in the “Fee Description”

list. Police Department fees currently recover approximately 71% of the cost of providing services. As shown below,

the City collects approximately $16,000 per year in revenues at current fee amounts. At full cost recovery, the same

demand for these services would generate approximately $23,000.

Many fees charged by police departments are set by various sections of the State’s governmental codes, and are not

able to recover the costs of providing services. NBS provided the full cost of service information and the framework

for considering fees, while those closest to the fee-paying population, the City departments, considered appropriate

cost recovery levels at or below that full cost. The “Recommended Fee” column in Appendix A.5 displays Staff’s

initially recommended fee amounts. These initial recommendations for adjusted fee amounts increase cost recovery

by less than $1,000. Fees would adjust to recover approximately 75% of the total costs of providing fee related

services.

Section 7 – Technology Fee

Routine maintenance and investment into the City of Half Moon Bay’s land management software and systems are

key in supporting efficient development approval and processing services. The basic premise behind

implementation of a Technology Surcharge is that a separate fund is created and self-sustaining in meeting the

maintenance and capital replacement needs of development permitting software.


As shown in the table below, the City’s cost estimate for the permitting system’s replacement is approximately

$200,000 every seven years, with on-going software licensing and maintenance of $40,000 each year.

The average annual funding requirements for the system is approximately $69,000 per year.

Fee Establishment

The main users of the permitting system for development review include the Planning, Public Works, and Building

and Safety departments. The number of projects requiring use of the system, on average, per department is below:

A “project” for Planning or Engineering is defined as an individual fee item requiring data entry and tracking within

the system. This means that projects requiring multiple entitlements or items from the Engineering fee list would

pay the fee equivalent to the number of fee items considered to fall within a “project”. A “project” for Building

includes the following items from the fee list:

1. Building Permit Fee for Alterations, Additions, and New Construction (based on valuation of improvement)

2. Building Plan Check fees for revisions or fourth and subsequent submittals. The surcharge is excluded

from building plan submittals.

To recover 100% of the costs for maintaining and replacing the City’s land management software system, a $46 fee

added to each Planning, Engineering, and Building and Safety, project applies. Should the City recommend a cost

recovery level less than 100%, the table above also provides the Technology Fee amount at varied recovery levels.


The City does not have a current Technology Fee in place. This is a new fee requested for addition to the City’s

Master Fee Schedule, and is a common charge seen in other cities around the State. Staff is initially recommending

the Technology Fee at 100% cost recovery, which would provide approximately $69,000 in funding for the land

management software and systems’ maintenance and replacement.

NBS recommends the City track these revenues in a separate fund and utilize the funds solely for the purposes

identified in this report.

Section 8 – Conclusion

Based on the various phases of analysis included within this Study, the proposed Master Schedule of Fees formatted

for implementation is included in the City’s accompanying Staff Report.

As discussed throughout this report, the proposed fee schedule includes fee increases intended to improve the

City’s recovery of costs incurred to provide individual services, as well as to adjust fees downward where fees

charge exceed the average costs incurred.

Predicting the amount to which any adopted fee increases will affect City revenues is difficult to quantify. For the

near-term, the City should not count on increased revenues to meet any specific expenditure plan. Experience with

these fee increases should be gained first before revenue projections are revised. However, unless there is some

significant, long-term change in activity levels at the City, proposed fee amendments should – over time – enhance

the City’s revenue capabilities, providing it the ability to stretch other resources further for the benefit of the public

at large.

The City’s Master Fee Schedule should become a living document but handled with care:

A fundamental purpose of the fee schedule is to provide clarity and transparency to the public and to staff

regarding fees imposed by the City. Once adopted by the Council, the fee schedule is the final word on

the amount and manner in which fees should be imposed by the departments. Old fee schedules should

be superseded by the new master document. If the master document is found to be missing fees, those

fees need eventually to be added to the master schedule and should not continue to exist outside the

consolidated, master framework.

The City should consider adjusting these user fees and regulatory fees on an annual basis to keep pace at

least with cost inflation. For all fees and charges, the City could use either a Consumer Price Index

adjustment or a percentage of Labor Cost increase, and that practice would be well applied to the new fee

schedule. Conducting a comprehensive user fee Study is not an annual requirement; it becomes

worthwhile only over time as significant shifts in organization, local practices, legislative values, or legal

requirements change. In NBS’ experience, a comprehensive analysis such as this should be performed

every three to five years. It should be noted that when an automatic adjustment is applied annually, the

City is free to use its discretion in applying the adjustment; not all fees need to be adjusted, especially

when there are good policy reasons for an alternate course. The full cost of service is the City’s only limit

in setting its fees.

As a final note in this Study, it is worth acknowledging the path that fees in general have taken in California. The

public demands ever more precise and equitable accounting of the basis for governmental fees and a greater say

in when and how they are imposed. It is inevitable in the not too distant future that user fees and regulatory fees

will demand an even greater level of analysis and supporting data to meet the public’s evolving expectations.

Technology systems will play an increased and significant role in an agency’s ability to accomplish this. Continuous

improvement and refinement of time tracking abilities will greatly enhance the City’s ability to set fees for service

and identify unfunded activities in years to come.

In preparing this report and the opinions and recommendations included herein, NBS has relied on a number of

principal assumptions and considerations with regard to financial matters, conditions and events that may occur in

the future. This information and assumptions, including the City’s budgets, time estimate data, and workload

information from City staff, were provided by sources we believe to be reliable; however, NBS has not

independently verified such information and assumptions.

While we believe NBS’ use of such information and assumptions is reasonable for the purpose of this report, some

assumptions will invariably not materialize as stated herein and may vary significantly due to unanticipated events

and circumstances. Therefore, the actual results can be expected to vary from those projected to the extent that

actual future conditions differ from those assumed by us or provided to us by others.

This fee represents a service that is provided by the Sheriff Department to provide an assessment of

the security required for certain events. While only non-profit organizations are required to obtain

this service, the City recommends a subsidy to encourage this process for all events for safety reasons.

High permit costs for signage can result in permit avoidance, and the City wishes to ensure strict

compliance with the City's Heritage Trees Ordinance.

These units are "affordable by design" and help the City achieve its Regional Housing Needs

Allocation (RHNA), without any City subsidy.

City would like to promote and encourage residential Solar panel installation.

For all appeals, the applicant's account will be charged for staff time to process. Low appeal fees

provide better access to the public decision making process. For cases within the CCC appeals

jurisdiction, if no fee is charged, the City can retain control over the process through the Planning

Commission and City Council as applicable. This approach is supported by the CCC.

High permit costs for signage can result in permit avoidance. High quality signage conforming to City

standards has a positive aesthetic impact and supports economic development.
