TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Henry Chen, Administrative Services Director
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 7628 ESTABLISHING AND ADJUSTING VARIOUS
FEES FOR CITY SERVICES
CEQA: Not a Project
Recommendation: Adopt
SUMMARY
On July 21, 2020, the City Council approved a User Fee Cost Recovery Level Policy
(“User Fee Policy”), which provides guidance on cost recovery levels and update
frequency. The policy states that the User Fee Schedule will be adjusted annually by
the higher of general increases to total labor costs, or the Consumer Price Index for the
Los Angeles Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (“CPI-W”), to ensure that fee
rates and cost recovery levels are maintained over time.
Staff performed the calculation based on the general increase in total labor costs and
reviewed the new fees with each department. Some adjustments were made by the
department to reflect their discretion, market conditions, and other factors for the
calculated new fees. Some fees that the City charges are based on fees charged by
outside agencies and those changes have been reflected in the proposed fees as well.
The proposed resolution would add 2 new fees, increase 538 fees, reduce 4 fees, and
leave 150 fees unchanged. Upon implementation, the fees would increase revenues
Citywide by approximately $147,000 annually. It is recommended that the City Council
conduct a public hearing and adopt Resolution No. 7628 to adjust user fees for the City
of Arcadia.
BACKGROUND
The City’s Citizens Financial Advisory Committee (“CFAC”) recommended that the City
retain consultant services to assist in preparing a detailed cost analysis of the City’s
productive hourly rates and user fees; and to adopt a User Fee Policy to provide
guidance on the appropriate levels of cost recovery for fee-based activities. The
objective was to ensure that the City is fully accounting for the costs and recovering
Resolution No. 7628 Adjusting Various City Fees
April 15, 2025

adequate fees for providing those services. The City hired Willdan Financial Services
(“Willdan”) to prepare an updated user fee schedule. Willdan’s focus was to ensure that
the City is utilizing comprehensive overhead rates and accurately accounting for the
true cost of providing various programs and services within City operations. Their report
identified the recommended charges for City services and the recommended level of
cost recovery, determined through discussions with City staff and the City’s User Fee
Policy, adopted on July 21, 2020.
The User Fee Policy provides guidance on the appropriate levels of cost recovery for
fee-based activities. This policy served as a general framework for developing specific
user fee recommendations. The philosophy behind the policy and recommended cost
recovery level policies are provided below:
1. Communitywide vs. Private Benefit: The use of taxpayer dollars is appropriate
for services that benefit the community such as Police Patrol services. When the
service or program provides a benefit to specific individuals or groups such as
the issuance of building permits, it is common for the individual(s) receiving that
benefit to pay for the full cost of that service.
2. Service Recipient vs. Service Driver: The concept of the service recipient vs.
service driver is particularly important for regulated activities such as
development review and public issued permits. Although the community primarily
benefits, 100% cost recovery from the “driver” of the need for service is
appropriate such as a building permit or Fire Code occupancy permit.
3. Consistency with City Goals and Policies: City policies and City Council goals
related to the community’s quality of life may also be factors in setting cost
recovery levels. For example, fee levels can be set to promote healthy habits,
facilitate environmental stewardship (e.g., encouraging solar panel installations),
or discourage certain actions (e.g., false alarms).
4. Elasticity of Demand for Services: The level of cost recovery can affect the
demand for services. A higher level of cost recovery could ensure the City
provides services such as recreational classes or summer camps for children
and youth, without over-stimulating the market with artificially low prices. Such
low prices, which reflect a high General Fund subsidy, may attract participants
from other cities or crowd out private options for the same service. However,
high-cost recovery levels could negatively impact the demand for such services
to low-income individuals, children, or seniors.
5. Availability of Services from the Private Sector: High-cost recovery levels are
generally sought in situations where the service is available from other sources to
preserve taxpayer funds for core City services. Conversely, services that are not
available from other sources and are typically unavoidable and primary
governmental services typically have low or zero cost recovery levels.

The table below overlays certain cost recovery levels grouped in High (70.1% to 100%),
Medium (30.1% to 70%), and Low (0% to 30%) cost recovery percentage ranges. It is
important to note that these groupings provide policy guidance and are not absolute.
Overall, the proposed fees in this study generally follow these patterns.

DISCUSSION
For Fiscal Year 2025-26, staff have taken the fees from the prior fiscal year and,
according to the User Fee Policy, adjusted them based on the general increases to
labor costs. The general increase in labor costs will be 6% next fiscal year based on the
current labor agreements, and that is the factor being used to adjust the proposed fees.
The calculated fees were then provided to each department for their review. Based on
each individual department’s analysis, some fees were further adjusted to reflect market
conditions or other policy considerations.
Two new fees are proposed to be added to the fee schedule, which can be found in the
Fire Department and the Recreation and Community Services Department. The new
Fire Department fee is for providing standby Basic Life Support (BLS) ambulance
services at public events in the City. This will reduce costs for some event organizers,
since today, the price is set for an advanced life support (ALS) unit, which is
considerably more costly. The Recreation and Community Services Department is
adding a rental fee for a half-ballroom rental instead of a full room rental to meet the
demand from the community. Again, this could lower costs for users.
The proposed resolution would add 2 new fees, increase 538 fees, reduce 4 fees, and
leave 150 fees unchanged. Upon implementation, the increased fees are projected to
increase revenues by approximately $147,000 annually. It is recommended that the City
Council conduct a public hearing and adopt Resolution No. 7628, establishing and
adjusting various fees for the City of Arcadia.
PUBLIC COMMENTS/NOTICE
Consideration of Resolution No. 7628 requires a public hearing, which, per Resolution
No. 7483, was noticed to the public by posting at the City Council Chambers, City
Clerk’s Office, the Public Library, and the City’s website, beginning on April 3, 2025. As
of the time this report was written, no comments have been received.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental
Quality Act (“CEQA”), as it can be seen with certainty that it will have no impact on the
environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
Projecting the fiscal impact of new fees is highly difficult due to the demand-based
nature of fees, which fluctuates widely. Nonetheless, a calculation has been created
based on percentage increases/decreases proposed in key fee categories. The fiscal
impact from the fee adjustments is estimated to generate an additional $147,000 of
Resolution No. 7628 Adjusting Various City Fees

revenue annually. The new fees will be reflected in the proposed Fiscal Year 2025-26
budget and would go into effect on July 1, 2025.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council find that the proposed action does not
constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”); and adopt
Resolution No. 7628 establishing and adjusting various fees for City services.
