Quach, Administrative Services Director SUBJECT: SUMMARY STAFF REPORT Administrative Services Department Resolution No. 6691 Establishing and or Adjusting Various Fees for City Services Recommendation: Adopt Last year when the City prepared its Fiscal Year 2008 -09 budget and considered ways to deal with its projected shortfall, one of the mechanisms that were explored was in the area of User Fees. At a study session, Council then directed staff to prepare a list of potential revenue enhancement items for consideration and shortly afterward held a public hearing at a subsequent City Council meeting to approve those recommended fees. User fees and charges are payments for publicly provided services that benefit individuals. They include an array of items such as recreational fees, building permit fees and public protection false alarm fees. In establishing user fees for municipal services, activities or products, the municipality is recognizing a need to recover operating costs associated with the provision of non- mandatory services. Utilizing a cost recovery approach to establish the fee amount ensures that the fees charged bear a relationship to the cost of providing the service. By passing the cost of specific services to the consumer, only those individuals or groups that utilize the service or incur the fee pay for the cost of providing it, rather than taxpayers in general. As with the prior fiscal year, in an effort to recover a reasonably borne cost in providing certain special services and further minimize the General Fund budget shortfall projected for the Fiscal Year 2009 -10, staff has once again reviewed the City's current fee table to make adjustments to its growing cost as well an determining the probability for adopting new program fees for services currently rendered that we do not collect a fee for. Fee Type Current Fee ($) Proposed Fee ($) Non - sufficient Check —1 check passed $10.00 $25.00 Staff is recommending that the City Council approve Resolution No. 6691, with fees set forth in the attached Exhibit A, establishing various fees and charges for City services effective September 1, 2009. The approval of various fees and charges is projected to generate $488,127 in to the General Fund and approximately $29,610 for the Water Enterprise Fund. BACKGROUND This report seeks Council authority to implement adjustments to existing fees as well as implement new user fees as part of an ongoing effort to update the user fees and charges on a periodic basis in order to keep pace with the costs of providing services. User fees and charges represent a significant and growing portion of local government revenue. As competition for tax resource allocation increases and interest in privatization of public services grow, fees and charges will continue to assume a larger role in the diversification of municipal revenue sources. For Council's consideration and approval, staff has prepared and summarized those various fees in the attached Exhibit A. A cost analysis was conducted to determine the actual cost of services for each of the proposed fees. The study ensures that City fees and charges are directly proportionate to the cost of providing the service. These fees are not imposed for general revenue purposes, but instead for recovering cost of providing those special services. The proposed fees also take into consideration the potential impact to the end users as we are still in a volatile stage during this trying economic recovery. Staff believes the proposed rates are reasonable and prudent to recover some of those cost which would lessen the General Fund's burden of providing general tax dollars as subsidy to those user services as well as mitigating the FY 2009- 2010 budget shortfall. Provided in the following section are recommended fees from each department as they went through the review process for existing and probable new program fees. DISCUSSION Administrative Services Department: Administrative Services Department has proposed to adjust fees to non - sufficient checks that are passed to the City and increase the fee to the maximum allowed by California Civil Code 1719: • Non - Sufficient Check — 1 check passed: $25.00; subsequent check passed by the same payee: $35.00. Non - sufficient Check — subsequent check to that payee passed in insufficient funds. $10.00 $35.00 Development Services Department: (I) Planning Division: In this division, staff is proposing one new fee and to adjust various planning fees to be more closely in line with market rates and to better recoup the cost of service for projects using those planning services. Due to the extended list of fees in this group, please refer to the Development Services Department proposed fees schedule in the attached Exhibit A: New Proposed Fee: o Determination of Use: Determination of Use applications are currently free of charge yet they have the same processing requirements as a Modification. They go in front of the Planning Commission, require a staff report and public hearing, and involve research and preparation. Staff is recommending the same cost as a modification application at the proposed fee of $540. Adjusted Fees: o Conditional Use Permits (CUP), Variances and Residential Mountainous (RM) Permits: Staff is proposing to standardize CUP and Variance RM permits. Currently, these permits are all processed on a sliding fee scale. Public notice, a staff report and public hearing, meetings with the applicant, plan review, and drafting of conditions are all required for these items. Staff recommends a flat fee of $1,200 for all three permits given the similar staff time and processing involved. o Portable Signs: The fee for portable signs was originally based on an over the counter approval of a typical "A" frame sign. We now conduct a design review process on such signs similar to any other sign design review. As a result, staff recommends the fee be made consistent with other sign design review permits set at $220. o Various Appeals through Planning: Staff proposes to standardize all appeal fees for various planning actions to the standard rate of $540 to cover processing, notification, and hearing costs. o Sidewalk Dining /Incidental Outdoor Dining: Side walk dining fees and incidental outdoor dining fees are proposed to be raised to be consistent with sign review costs as processing times are similar. Staff p roposes to adjust this fee to $220. (II) Building Division: Building Permit fees were last raised in 2007. Due to the increasing complexity of building permit review and plan check, the proposal is to increase building permit fees and all ancillary permits (plumbing, electric, mechanical, and misc.) by 5 %. None of the fees for ancillary permits have been changed in the past 10 years. A 5% increase across the board is consistent with what other cities charge. (III) Business License Division: The Business License fee has not been increased in over 8 years. The City had been operating under the assumption that annual cost of living increases were not applicable to business license fees. A recent legal opinion reverses this and these fees are subject to increases for cost of living. The City estimates that business license fees could be raised up to 23% over current rates to make up for years of no increases. However, the recommendation is that a 6% increase is in order to make up some of this shortfall. The City Council directed this increase during the budget process. New Proposed Fee: o Special Events and Parking Lot Promotions: There is currently no fee for these events yet these plans are reviewed by numerous departments: Development Services, Fire Department, and Public Works. The recommendation is to standardize these fees at $180, which would recover some of the cost of processing these permits. (IV) Engineering Division: Some minor fee increases are proposed for the Engineering Division. • Transportation Permits: These are street work permits that are typically charged to utilities or construction firms for transport through the City. This fee reflects actual work done to review request to transport equipment on City streets. Fees have not been modified in many years. Staff has proposed to increase fees as follows: o $16 to $50 for single transport permit o $90 to $150 for annual transport permit • Inspection Charges for Street Work: The proposed rate increases is to offset the increase cost in street inspections. Staff has proposed to increase current fee from $40 to $60. • Plans and Specifications: Plans and specifications are in general p rinted and copied for bid openings. Typically the plans, drawings and reproduction costs often exceed the fee currently charged. Staff has proposed a slight increase to recoup some of those costs by adjusting the current fee of $26.50 to $35.00. Library and Museum Services Department: The Library and Museum Services Department has proposed one item for fee adjustment. Fine for overdue materials per day is proposed to increase from $.20 per item /per day to $.25 per item /per day. This increased fine for each overdue item will help defray the rising costs associated with efforts to recover overdue library materials, including labor, postage and supplies involved in the process. Police Department: The Police Department is proposing fee revisions on existing Police related services. Most of these fee adjustments are based on the time -in- motion study in performing each of the services provided with exception to Towing Franchise and Parking Violation Bail Fees. o Towing Franchise Fee: A $35 per vehicle franchise fee for each vehicle stored or impounded by Jan's Towing was implemented in 2007. Per the contract, the franchise fee may be adjusted annually by resolution. Staff conducted a survey of cities that collects a franchise fee and found that those cities collect fees in the range of 15% to 34 %, with the average of those cities at 26.5 %. Staff is recommending that the City modify the fee structure of a fixed amount to a percentage of total penalties collected as comparable to other cities. Staff is recommending modifying the fee to a rate of 25% for total impound and vehicle storage fees. o Parking Violation Bail: The last time the City's parking violation bail schedule was approved was in November 2006. Since then, cost associated with enforcement has increased in addition to a recent passage of Senate Bill 1407 in 2008 that requires cities to impose a $4.50 penalty to each parking citation and subsequently remit that amount to the State. In total, the City remits $9.65 to the State /County for every parking offense, an amount that is not factored into the current parking fine. The Police Department has proposed to increase the penalty for the majority of current fines of $40.00 to $50.00 in order to offset the "pass through fine amount" going to State and County. Other fines are proposed for an increase ranging from $10.00 to $20.00 varying depending on the type of offense. These proposed bail were considered after a survey of 16 other cities was conducted with the recommended fee increase based on the average from these cites. Please refer to the attached Exhibit C for all proposed new bail schedule. The table below provides a summary of other fees that are proposed to be adjusted for an increase. Please refer to the attached Exhibit A under the Police Department Services section for additional description and justification for their proposed increase. Fee Type Current Fee ($) Proposed Fee ($) Parking Violation Bail Schedule Various with majority of the penalties at $40.00 Various with majority of the penalties at $50.00 Towing Franchise Fee (Jan's Towing) $35.00 25% of total impound and vehicle storage fee collected by the towing company Citation Verification Free to Arcadia residents or if cite was issued by Arcadia Police Dpt.; otherwise $10.00 $10.00 — for Residents $25.00 — for Non - residents Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) Check $15.00 $25.00 Special Reports or Research Fee $25.00 $60.00 per hour with one hour minimum (additional time charged at 15- minute increments) In addition to adjustments to current services, four (4) new fees are proposed. Currently, three of the four are services being provided with no fees in place for their cost recovery. The fourth new fee proposed is for the new Pay -to -Stay Prisoner Program. Three of the four are fees permitted by California law. For those, staff has recommended the allowable cost recovery as set by law. The Pay -to -Stay program fee is based on supply and demand and with some research by staff, it's determined that the average pay -to -stay fee in the area is just under $100.00 per day with an average of $50.00 for a one -time administrative fee. New Proposed Fee: o Booking Fee: Currently no fee is charged to this service. Recovery of costs associated with certain bookings is allowed under California Government Code Section 29550 through 29552. The sections allow for the recovery of actual administrative costs to include: searching, wrist banding, bathing, clothing, fingerprinting, photographing, medical /mental screening; document preparation, retrieval, updating, filing, and court scheduling; warrant service, processing, and detainer; inventory of an arrestee's money and creation of cash account; inventory and storage of property; inventory, laundry, and storage of clothing; unit management and supervision. Time -in- motion study indicated a cost of $159.17 (this amount does not include a $25 administrative screening fee and $10 citation processing fee allowed under the California Government Code). Staff has proposed a recovery fee of $150. o Pay -to -Stay Prisoner Program: Many inmates, who have been convicted of a crime, are sentenced to custody time as a condition of their case adjudication. Previously, the Police Department operated an Inmate Worker Program, but the Department lacked staffing to properly supervise the inmate workers. This alternative overnight lockdown program would not burden staff members since our Type 1 jail facility is already staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. On average, only one -third of the 17 -bed facility is being utilized on a daily basis. Study revealed the average pay - to -stay fee in the area is just under $100 per day with an average of $50 for a one -time administrative fee. Staff has proposed to adopt said fee to recover cost relating to such service. o Traffic Accident Reports: The Police Department currently provides copies of traffic collision report to involved parties, insurance companies, and attorneys at no charge. Vehicle Code Section 20012 provides that a request for a copy of an accident report shall be accompanied by payment of a fee provided such fee shall not exceed the actual cost of providing the copy. Time -in- motion study for processing a traffic accident report indicated a cost of $39.29. Based on the study plus a survey of fees charged by surrounding cities, staff proposes a fee of $25.00. o Safekeeping of Firearms: This service is provided in instances of citizens who are served with a restraining order are required, by law, to surrender their firearms to a local law enforcement agency or sell the guns to a firearms dealer. The safekeeping of firearms requires a great deal of police personnel time to process, document, inventory, secure in storage, ensure proper disposition, and follow -up correspondence with the firearm owner and the Department of Justice. There are also incidents where residents simply want to use the Police Department as a secure storage facility while they are out of town. California Code of Civil Procedure §527.9(c) allows a local law enforcement agency to charge a person subject to a temporary restraining order or injunction a fee for the storage of any firearm relinquished pursuant to this section. Time -in- motion study indicated a cost of $188.83 for the initial paperwork, data entry, storage, follow -up, release and additional cost of $85.92 for processing each additional firearm. Staff recommends the following fees: • $150 for the first weapon • $50 for each additional weapon • $2 per day per weapon storage fee beyond the 30 -day limit Fee Type Current Fee ($) Proposed Fee ($) Engineering: $25.00 $35.00 Off -site improvement plan check Streets: $50.00 $70.00 Curb address painting request Street Sweeping — private streets (per curb mile) $20.00 $35.00 Water: $50.00 $95 +Lab cost Bacterial test for new development's water lines Flow test meter or meter accuracy test 1 test = $25.00 2 test / yr = $70.00 $165.00 per test Hydrant flow test (witness /verify) $50.00 $240.00 New utility account set up $15.00 (business hours) $30.00 (after hours) $25.00 (business hours) $50.00 (after hours) Re -read of a water meter per request 1 year = $0 2 request / yr = $5.00 1 year = $0 2 request / yr = $10.00 Standpipe inspection (for developer to access water during development) $50.00 $165.00 Turn on water account due to delinquent account $25.00 (business hours) $100.00 (after hours)+ 2x bi- monthly water bill (deposit) $45.00 (business hours) $125.00 (after hours) Turn on water per request during after —hours $0.00 $125.00 Turn -off water service for non -test of backflow device (after three (3) notifications by the City) $25.00 $40.00 Public Works: In its review of recovering the full or a proportion of the costs reasonably borne in providing special services, where allowable to be implemented by resolution, the Public Works department has proposed fee adjustments in Water, Streets, and Engineering services. Listed in the table below are the proposed fees for various types of inspections: Fee Type Current Fee ($) Proposed Fee ($) Class Registration Administration Fee $2.00 $5.00 Kids Night Out Program $12.00 $15.00 Recreation and Community Services: Recreation and Community Services has requested to modify two existing fees. Proposed adjustments on two current service fees are in the areas of Registration Administration Fee and Kids Night Out Program. • Class Registration Administration Fee has been proposed to be increased from $2.00 to $5.00. This increase takes into consideration the cost to a new online registration system for the recreation programs. The system will provide a simple and convenient enrollment process for the public. The fee is established to recover the costs charged by the service provider. The online registration feature is expected to begin in the winter session 2009 -2010. • Kids Night Out Program: The program is offered once a month from 6 -11 p.m. and includes dinner. The proposed increase from $12.00 to $15.00 would help offset a fraction of the program costs. FISCAL IMPACT Should Council approve Resolution 6691 establishing various fees for City services as presented, the fiscal impact from the increase in fees is projected to be $488,127 into the General Fund and approximately $29,610 for the Water Enterprise Fund. However, please note that these projections are highly dependent on the level of participation by the user of those services.

This bill is to provide $5 billion in lease- revenue bonds to finance the construction, rehabilitation, renovation, and replacement of court facilities. To recover the new $4.50 penalty and based on what surrounding cities have established, the City will need to increase the parking penalties. Survey of 16 cities conducted and the fee increases are based on the averages. (The City must remit a total of $9.50 to the State /County for every parking offense, and this amount is not factored into the revenue figures.) The Department currently provides copies of traffic collision reports to involved parties, insurance companies, and attorneys at no charge, and Vehicle Code §20012 indicates that a request for a copy of an accident report shall be accompanied by payment of a fee, provided such fee shall not exceed the actual cost of providing the copy. Time -in- motion study for processing a traffic accident report indicated a cost of $39.29, and a survey of cities /law enforcement agencies that charged a fee ranged from $10 to $50, with an average of $19.

A survey of cities that charged a booking fee based upon conviction ranged from $124.50 to $366, with an average of $167.08. Two cities charged a fee of $65 and $75 for all bookings. Many inmates, who have been convicted of a crime, are sentenced to custody time as a condition of their case adjudication.
