The City is in the process of comprehensi�ely reviewing and updating iu 1�4aster Fee
Schedule. Adoption of the proposed resolurions and ordinances will implement the neart
phase of the Master Fee Schedule re��iew; updating animal control fees, business fees,
library fees; police fees, and fue emergency response fees included in Chapters 3, 4; �; 6;
and 1� of the Master Fee Schedule.
ENVIRON111ENTAI, REVIE�V
The Development Services Director has revie�ved.the proposed activity for compliance
�rith the Califomia Environmental Qualih� Act (CEQA) and has determined that the
activiry is not a "Project � as defined under Section 1�378(b)(4) of the State CEQA
Guidelines because it is a eovemment fiscal activity; therefore, pursuant to Section
1�060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activiry is not subject to CEQA. Thus; no
environmental review is necessan•.
RECOA'II1IENDATION
That Council adopt the ordinances and resolutions.
BOARDS/COA�IiVIISSION RECOA4MENDATION
The Board of Library Trustees supported and approved the Master Fee Schedule chanees
reflected in Resolution B at its meetin� on October 16, 2013. D4inutes for the subject
meeting aze included as Attachment 1.
DISCUSSION
In 2009, the Ciri Council endorsed the Cit�� Manager's Fiscal Health Plan, including the
revie�v of the Ciry's Master Fee Schedule to identifi� potential additional fee revenues.
The comprehensive revie�v of the Master Fee Schedule is occurrine in multiple phases.

Items to be considered in the current phase of the review include:
A. Animal Control Fees
B. Library Fees
C. Fire Emergency Response Cost Recoven� (New)
D. Police Fees
E. Business Fees (Police Regulated)
The final phases of the comprehensive Master Fee Schedule require additional analysis
before they can be brought forward to Council for consideration. The next phase of the
fee review�yill consider the following, at minimum:
A. Library Facilit}� Rentals (new) and Recreation & Parks Facility Rentals
Status: h7itial da�a gathering is con:plete urid analysis is undenrav.
Recommeiaded fee updates i+�i/1 be 6rought fon��ard to Council in sprrng 2014.
B. Recreation Program Fees
Sratus: As 1,�it1:fees included in the curre�st phase of�he Master Fee Schedule
revieN�, Recreation program fees are limited to recovering only the cost of
providing the associated sernices. Updatirzg the Recreation prograrn fees
therefore requires the development of a cost of service analysis. Preparation of
this anulysis has been delayed, us prelinainary modeling has revealed additional
data needs, rrzcluding consideratiott of departmenlal policies and potential
pm�tnerships. In order to prope�dy documenl the cosl of service for Recreation
programs, the Recreation Department recommends developing a Cost Recovery,
Resource Allocation and Rei�enue Enhancement Plan. This plan will sen>e as the
basis for setting future Recreation progr�am fees. Moving forward ivi�h thrs
portion of the Master Fee Schedu7e revieN� is dependent uporz the completion of
this plan. Recreation Deparhnent staff anticipates awarding a contract for the
development of the pla�s in Jaiauary 2014, with development of tl:e plan itself
anticipated ro occiu� oi�e�� the ne.rt 12 to 18 n�ondis.
Master Fee Schedule—Overview
Originally established in 1982, the Master Fee Schedule ("Schedule') is a centralized
listing of the fees charged by the City for services, administrative acts and other legally
required fees. The Schedule serves as a resource for the public to determine the costs of
various types of Cit}� services without the need for extensive reseazch or a specialized
understanding of municipal govemment.
While a primary mission of government is to satisfy community needs, such as police and
fire protection, many city sen�ices solel}� benefit specific individuals or businesses. It has
been the general policy of the City Council that the public at large should not subsidize
activities of such a private interest through general taa revenues. Therefore, the City has
established user fees to best ensure that those who use a proprietary service pay for that
service in proportion to the benefit received.
Fees imposed by the Cit}� take one of three fomis flat fees, tiered or multi-level fees, and
variable fees based on costs (deposits).
14-4
DECEMBER 17; 2013; Item ��
Paee � of 1�
Flat fees aze preferable in most cases due to their ease of admuustration and collection.
VJhere the annual volume of activitv is high and the per-project costs aze reasonably
stable, the flat fees aze calculated based on the averaee transaction costs for sen�ices
provided.
Tiered or multi-level fees serve as a middie ground. These fees are used ���hen the cost of
service provision is more closely correlated to a specific project factor. Two or more fee
levels aze set and the level of the fee is determined by objective measurable criteria.
Tiered fees thus offer the stabilin� and administrative ease of flat fees and the enhanced
equiri� of deposits. As �;�ith flat fees ho�vever; these fees must be updated periodically to
ensure that the Cih's general taY support for these sen�ices remains at a consistent level.
Variable fees require a deposit from which actual costs aze debited and any unspent
balance is refunded. If the costs of a particulaz service differ �ith the size or complexin�
of the project, deposit-based fees provide a more equitable assessment of those costs than
���ould be possible throueh a flat fee. Thus; for eaample, major development projects in
Otay Ranch aze chazeed only for the actual staff time spent on their various projects,
rather than paying "averaee" processing costs. Variable fees are difficult to administer;
but since they automaticallv correct for chanees in service costs, increased efficiency, and
fluctuations in requested or mandated service levels; they seldom require updatine.
\�'hile they do not require frequent updates, it is preferable to reeulazlv update any
standazdized deposit schedules associated �+�th these fees. Realistic deposit schedules
help applicants better understand the financial commitment associated w�th the Cih�'s
provision of these services.
Cost Recoverv Policv
The Ciq�'s Cost Recovery Policy (`Policy') �vas adopted in June 2010 (Attachment 2).
The Policy has three central components:
l. Provisions for oneoine review
2. Process for establishing cost recovery levels
3. Tazeet cost recovery levels for services/acti��ities
As the comprehensive Master Fee Schedule review moves toward its conclusion, it is
appropriate to revie�+� the provisions for oneoine revie��� and the taraet cost recovery
levels established in 2010. In conjunction with this report, staff is requestine feedback
from the Council on modifications to the tazeet cost recoverv levels for specifc program
azeas. Staff will retum to Council ��ith a resolution modifi�ine the Policy to reflect the
direction received from the Council ���ith the next phase of the Master Fee Schedule
revie�v.
Ongoing Revie�r•
The Policy recommends comprehensive analysis of the city's costs and fees at least everv
five }�eazs. In the interim, annual updates each October are recommended based on either
the annual change in the Cin�'s operatine budaet or the annual chanee in the San Dieeo
area Consumers Price Indes for all Urban Consumers. The annual adjustments have not
been implemented �vhile the comprehensive review has been undern�ay. Once the Master
Fee Schedule revie��� is complete, staff���ill implement this policy (first annual adjustment
planned for October 2014). Staff anticipates updating this section of the Policv to focus
14-5 ,
I
DECEMBER 17, 2013, Item�
Page 6 of 15
the annual index amount on labor costs in particular, rather than the overall City
operating budget. Staff will return to Council with recommended modifications to this
portion of the Policy ��ith the next phase of the fee study.
Establishing Cost Recovery Levels
The Policy lays out the process for establishing the cost recovery levels, including factors
to be considered, general concepts and determination of cost recovery levels. Factors to
be considered when determining cost recovery levels include:
1. Community benefit versus special benefit
2. Service recipient versus service driver
3. Consistency with City public policies and objectives
4. Elasticity of demand
5. Feasibility of collection
Target Cost Recovery Levels
The Policy next identifies target cost recovery levels for City services/activities. The
target cost recovery levels in the Policy are described in broad, programmatic terms to
provide flexibility necessary to address new services and activities that may be offered by
the City in the future without amending the Policy itselE In practical terms; the cost
recovery for a single fee activity might be higher or lower than the cost recovery tazget
for that program, as long as the overall cost recovery for the program's fees is consistent
with the Policy.
When the Policy is broueht back to the Council for modification, staff�vill recommend
narrowing the individual service areas/programs to allow for greater specificity. For
eaample, the Polic}� currently includes Fire Department operational permits (30%-70%
tazget cost recovery) and Fire Department construction permits (70%-100% target cost
recovery), ��hile the Animal Control program only has one program and associated target
cost recovery (0%-30%). Based upon review of the Animal Control program in
conjunction �vith the current phase of the fee schedule review, bifurcating this program
between (1) animal adoptions, impounds, and relinquishments and (2) licenses,
vaccinations, veterinary and other services; is recommended. The Animal Control fees
recommended for adoption with this action reflect this anticipated change.
n4aster Fee Schedule—Current Phase Undate - Detail
As a result of the complex nature of the fees included in the current phase of the Master
Fee Schedule review, the City contracted with a consultant to produce a cost of service
analysis for these user and regulatory fees. This cost of service analysis identifies actual
costs incurred by the City in providing the subject services, which is the maximum
amount legally recoverable by the City via fees for these services. The City selected
NBS to conduct the study. NBS is an independent finn serving local govemment
agencies induding cities and towns, counties, special purpose districts, and economic
development agencies/organizations.
In conducting the fee study, NBS applied a three phase analysis, including cost of service
analysis; cost recovery evaluation; and fee establishment. The cost of service analysis
prepared by I�'BS included calculation of a fully burdened blended hourly rate for each
workgroup in the fee study. This fully burdened blended hourly rate �vas then used at the
14-6
DECEMBER 17, 2013, Item�
Pa�e 7 of 1�
individual fee level to estimate an average (reasonable) full cost of service for each fee
related service or activiq�. For some depar[ments; hourly rates were developed for
different employee classes (e.g. sworn versus non-swom Police Department employees).
The srudy methodoloey and findines; includina the calculation of fully burdened hourly
rates and the cost of service for all activities included in the current fee study aze
presented in the Cost of Semice Study of User and Regulatory Fees, Selected
Deparrments — Part 1, prepazed by I�TBS. A summar}� of this anal}�sis is included as
Attachment 3 of this report. Full anal}�tical models aze on file with the Cit}= Clerk`s
OfFice.
Proposed amendments to the b4aster Fee Schedule for the current phase of the
comprehensi��e revie�v are sho��n in redline strikeout in Attachment 4. All fee updates
recommended aze based on the cost of sen�ice analvsis prepazed by \'BS and aze
consistent ���ith the target cost recoven� levels set bv the Cit}�'s Cost Recoven� Policy.
To follow is an overview of the fee updates proposed. A limited number of the fee
updates recommended require amendments to the Chula Vista Municipal Code (CVMC).
In those instances; adoption of the resolution implementing the proposed D4aster Fee
Schedule chanse requires adoption of the coordinatine ordinance modifi•ine the
D4unicipal Code (e.s. adoption of Resolution D1. establishing Fire Emereenc}� Response
Cost Recovery fees in the A4aster Fee Schedule requires adoption of Ordinance D.2.
amending the A4unicipal Code to incorporate cost reco��ery for Fire Department
emergency incident response sen�ices).
Chapter 3 —Animal Control
The review of the Animal Control fees focused on licensine; animal adoptions; impounds
and relinquishments; and vaccinations and veterinary fees. The Cost of Service analysis
identified the full cost of providine animal control"services. The Ciry's Cost Recovery
Policy has a target of 0-30% cost recovery For Animal Control services. The proposed
fees for doe licenses, animal adoptions, impounds and relinquishments reflect cost
recovery of approximately 3�% overall. Sinele-year doe licenses aze proposed to
increase from $12 to S20 for altered animals and from $25 to �32 for unaltered animals.
Three-year dog licenses are proposed to decrease from $23 to $20 for altered anunals and
from ��0 to $32 for unaltered animals.
Animal Care Facility staff is recommendine tareetine neaz full cost recovery for
vaccinations and ��eterinarv services provided to in-house shelter animals; euthanasia at
o��mer's request, and dangerous dos, nuisance dog, and bazkine doe hearin�s. Final cost
recovery for this program �rill varv significantly depending on the collectability of
vaccination and veterinary fees.
Adoption of Resolution A amends Chapter 3 of the Master Fee Schedule to reflect the
recommended Animal Control fees.

Chapter 4—Business Fees, Specific Businesses
The review of the Business Fees focused on tl�e efforts of Police Department staff
providing regulatory services to specific business types. The Cost of Service analysis
identified the full cost of providing these services. The City's Cost Recovery Policy has
a target of 70-100% for Business (Police) services.
�
In addition to updating the Master Fee Scl�edule, the Police Department recommends
updating certain sections of the City's Municipal Code to optimize cost recovery. For
those activities, discussed in detail below,iadoption of the resolution amending the Master
Fee Schedule requires adoption of the associated ordinance. The cost of service for all
specific business activities discussed below �vas established in the NBS Cost of Service
analysis.
Massa�e and Holistic Health Establishments and Massage Technicians
The City's Master Fee Schedule and Section 5.36.135 of the CVMC both currently
reflect the collection of initial massage establishment license application fees. CVMC
Section 536.220 requires inspections of massage establishments four-times annually. In
order to recover the reasonable estimated cost of providing the inspection services
required annually for massage establishments, an amendment to CVMC Section 536.li�
to require payment of an annual renewal fee is recommended. Staff recommends
increasing the massage establishment application fee from $150 to $1,400 and
establishing an annual renewal fee of$1,250.
Section 536.135 of the CVMC also requires the payment of an application fee to operate
a holistic health establislunent. The Master Fee Schedule does not currently include this
fee. The Police Department's proposed amendments to Section 5.36.135 to require
annual rene�vals of the massage establiskvnent license also applies to holistic health
establishments. Adding initial application and arumal renewal fees for holistic health
establishments of$19� and $25, respectively, is recommended.
The Master Fee Schedule cunently establishes a fee of $25 for the sale, transfer or
change of location of a massage establislunent. Per CVMC Section 5.36.190, a sale or
transfer renders any previous license null and void and requires a new application. In
order to recover the reasonable estimated cost of licensing a new application, staff
recommends amending the Municipal Code to clarify that sale; transfer, or change of
location of a massage establishment requires a new application and associated fees.
The final Master Fee Schedule amendment recommended for this business type relates to
massage technicians and holistic health practitioners. The Municipal Code currently
requires the annual renewal of licenses for massage technicians and holistic health
practitioners. In order to better reflect the additional staff effort associated with initial
license issuance, staff recommends splitting this fee into an initial application fee of$175
and an annual renewal fee of$]00. The current annual fee (new or rene�val) is $30. No
Municipal Code amendment is required to implement this change.
Adoption of Resolution E.1. amends Chapter 4 of the Master Fee Schedule to reflect the
recommended massage and holistic health establislunent and massage technician fees.
Adoption of Resolution E.]. requires adoption of Ordinance E.2.

Firearms Dealer
Chapter �.28 of the CVA4C requires a license from the Chief of Police in order to eneage
in the business of selline, or othen��se transferrine; or advertisine for sale or uansfer, any
pistol; revoh�er or other firearm capable of being concealed upon a person. The CVMC
does not currently require annuai inspections of firearms dealers and states that there
shall be no charge for the issuance of this license.
State of Califomia Penal Code Section 2670� permits local licensin� authorities to assess
a fee to recover the full cost of processin� applications for a fueazms dealer license. In
addition, State of Califomia Penal Code Section 26720 allo�vs for local jurisdictions to
adopt an inspection program. The California Department of Justice relies on local la�v
enforcement to conduct an inspection prior to the issuance of a state license.
The Police Department recommends amendine Chapter �.28 of fhe Municipal Code to
require a yearly inspection of all fuearms dealers to ensure that persons engaeed in the
fuearms business are in compliance with local, state, and federal laws and resulations. In
addition,"the Police Department recommends recovering the reasonable cost of providing
initial license issuance and annual rene���al of the license. Staff therefore recommends
amending Chapter �.28 of the CV�4C and amendin� the �4aster Fee Schedule to reflect
initial application and annual renewal fees of$36� and 5310, respectively.
Adoption of Resolution F.1. amends Chapter 4 of the Master Fee Schedule to reflect the
recommended firearm dealer fees. Adoption of Resolution F.1. requires adoption of
Ordinance F.2.
BinQO License Application Fee Refunds
Section 912.160 (B) of the CVMC requues the payment of an application fee with each
bineo license application and states that in the event an application is denied, �0 percent
of the im�estigation fee shall be refunded. The Cost of Service analysis conducted by
\�BS did not identify any reduction in the cost to the City in processing a denied bingo
license application (all staff effort is in advance of the denial). This partial refund
reduces the cost recovery for this activiry by �0 percent. In order to brine this activit��
into compliance «�ith the Ciri's Cost Reco��ery Policy target of 70-100% for Police fees;
staff recommends amendin2 Section 9.12.160 (B) of the CVMC and Chapter 4 of the
A4aster Fee Schedule to eliminate the �0 percent refund requirement.
Adoption of Resolution G.1. amends Chapter 4 of the Master Fee Schedule to remove the
refund provisions for denied bingo license applications. Adoption of Resolution G.1.
requires adoption of Ordinance G.2.
Pa�tinbrokers. Secondhand and Junk Store Dealers
Section �38.030 (A) of the CVMC requires the payment of an application fee for each
license issued to any pa�+=nbroker,junl: or secondhand dealer. Section �.�8.120 requires
all pa�tirshop employees to be issued an identification card by the Chief of Police. Both
sections speak only to the initial application and do not address the need for oneoine
revie�v of the license or identification cazd. Consistent ��ith Department of Justice
licenses for these same businesses, the Police Department recommends amendine Section
14-9
DECEMBER 17; 20li, Item ��
Pa�e 10 of 1�
538.030 to require rene«�al of the license every two years. The Police Department also
recommends amending Section 538.120 to require renewal of the pawnshop employee
identification cards annuall}�.
In addition to the above described amendments to the CVMC, the Police Department
recommends recovering the reasonable cost of providing license and identification card
issuance and rene�val services. Staff therefore recommends amending the Master Fee
Schedule to reflect initial application and renewal fees for pawnbrokers, secondhand and
junk store dealers of$31� and $100, respectively; and pawnshop employee identification
card application and renewal fees of $16� and $70, respectively. This compares to the
current license application fee of $80 and pa�vnshop employee identification card
application fee of$30.
Adoption of Resolution H.1. amends Chapter 4 of the Master Fee Schedule to reflect the
recommended pawnbroker, secondhand, and juiilc store dealer �fees. Adoption of
Resolution H.1. requues adoption of Ordinance H.2.
Art Fieure/Model Studio
In November of 2012 the Ciry Council adopted Ordinance 3241 amending Chapter 9.li
of the CVMC, regulating the licensing and operations standard for sezually oriented
businesses. Per that ordinance, adult model studios (also kno�vn as art figure studios) are
considered sexually oriented businesses and licensing regulations are as set forth in
Chapter 9.13. Prior to the adoption of Ordinance 3241, licensing of these businesses �vas
govemed by Chapter 5.14 of the CVMC. This cliapter is now superseded by Chapter
9.13 and can be repealed. Removal of the associated fees from the Master Fee Schedule
is also recommended.
Adoption of Resolution I.1. amends Cl�apter 4 of the Master Fee Schedule to reflect the
elimination of art figure studio fees. Adoption of Resolution I.1. requires adoption of
Ordinance I.2.
All Other Soecific Business Fees
The remaining Master Fee Schedule updates recommended for Chapter 4 do not require
amendments of the CVMC. The majority of the proposed changes reflect updating fees
to recover the reasonable cost of providing the associated services and removing fees no
longer required.
Based on the Cost of Service analysis, an increase in the initial deposit for an Alcoholic
Beverage Control (ABC) Deternunation of Public Convenience or Necessiry (PCl�
hearing from $2�0 to �1,500 is recommended. In addition, appeals fees for ABC PCN
determinations and other police regulated business licenses are recommended, consistent
�vith existing requirements of the CVMC and other appeal fees in the Master Fee
Schedule.
Adoption of Resolution J amends Chapter 4 of the Master Fee Scliedule to reflect all
recommended Business fees not addressed in Resolutions E.1. through I.1. Adoption of
Resolution J does not require adoption of an ordinance.

Chapter 5 —Librar��
The review of the Library fees focused on existina fees, includine service fees; fines, and
local history collection fees. The Cost of Service analysis identified the full cost of
pro��iding these library services (no cost of service analysis is required for fines). The
Ciry's Cost Recoverv Policy has a tareet of 0-�0% for Library semices.
Libran� staff is recommending leaving the non-California resident cazd annual fee
unchanged at $Z0. This reflects full cost recovery for this activin�. For the local historv
collection, staff recommends creating new photo use fees of�4� for individuals and �125
for commercial uses. Actual costs to the City of providin� this sen�ice are estimated to
total neazl}� �240 per use; resulting in recommended cost recovery of 20% for individuals
and �0% for commercial uses. Similazly, staff is recommending increasing the obituary
reseazch request fee from $� to �2�. With an estimated cost per request of 566, this
reflects cost recoverv of less than 40%.
A new fee is recommended for test proctoring services (written or computer based). This
is a ne�v activiri�, wherein Library Department staff administers a test and watches over
students takine the esamination. «'ith the expansion of online learnine; demand is
anticipated to gro��� in the future. «'ith a proposed fee of 52> per student, per test, this
reflects �0% cost recovery (estunated at $�0 per student, per test).
The next phase of the Master Fee Schedule revie�v �viil consider rental fees for Library
facilities (auditoriums, multi-purpose rooms, etc.).
Adoption of Resolution B amends Chapter � of the D4aster Fee Schedule to reflect the
recommended Libran fees.
Chapter 6 — Police
The re�ie�� of Police fees focused on various "administrative processina fees, and
included the alazm permit fees and false alarm assessments approved by the Council on
November 19�'. The Cost of Senrvice anal}�sis identified the full cost of providins Police
sen�ices (no cost of service analysis is required for fines or penalties). The Ciri�'s Cost
Recoverv Policv has a tazeet of 70-100% for Police services.
Sienificant chanses recommended include the creation of adult arrest report sealine
application and processing fees and the elimination of the bic}�cle permit fees (permits are
no lon�er issued by the City).
Adoption of Resolution C amends Chapter 6 of the ?�4aster Fee Schedule to reflect the
recommended Police fees.
Chapter 15 —Fire Department Emergenc�� Incident Response
The Fire Depanment is recommendina the creation of a Fire Department emereency
incident response cost recovery program. This proeram relates specificalh� to services
pro��ided bY the Fire Department as a result of a responsible partti�'s actions, neglieence or
an intentional �iTOngful act. Costs for emereency response ���ill be recovered from any
and all responsible parties, including indi��iduals and/or insurance companies.

Page 12 of 15
The proposed emergency response cost recovery program includes the following incident
responses:
1. Pipeline Incidents
a. Water Utility
b. Other Utility—Large Diameter
c. Other Utility— Small Diameter
2. Power Line Incidents
3. Illegal Fires •
4. Hazardous Materials Incidents
a. Major
b. Minor (includes vehicle fires)
5. Special Rescue (exa�nples include structural collapse, confined space, trench, and
rope rescue).
The proposed fee schedule establishes hourly billing rates for each of the different
incident types listed above, based on standard responses. For esample, the standard
response to a minor hazardous materials incident is one engine company (3 FTEs) and the
standard response to a water utility incident is one truck company (4 FTEs).
�eline and Po��er Line Incidents
As described above; cost recovery for pipeline or power line incidents will be pursued
only if the services are required as a result of a responsible party's actions; negligence or
an intentionally wrongful act. This does not include damage caused by an act of God. In
those instances of negligence or intentionally wrongfial acts, costs will be recovered from
the responsible parties (motorists, contractors, etc.).
Illeaal Fires
Illegal fire incidents include any fire caused or set in violation of a federal, state or local
law, including arson fire and fires set in violation of a "no burning' ban or order. An
illegal fire does not include an accidental and unintended fire or fire caused by an act of
God, e.g. a lightning storm. An illegal fire does include a fire resulting from grossly
negligent or reckless conduct as well as an intentionally set fire.
Califomia Health & Safety Code Section li009 establishes that the person �vho
negligently, or in violation of the law; sets a fire is liable for the fire suppression costs
incurred in fighting the fire and for the cost of providing rescue or emergency medical
services.
Hazardous Materials Incidents
The Clmla Vista Fire Department responds to approximately Z50 traffic accidents each
yeaz in which hazardous liquids are released from the vehicles involved in the accident
(including vehicle fires). Because of mucli more stringent environmental protection
requirements, the department is seeking to recover costs associated with this increased
level of service from the driver �vho was responsible for the accident. Most, if not all,
automobile insurance companies have provisions in their policies stipulating payment to
fire departments for emergency response and semices provided at vehicle accidents. Fire
departments throu�hout the countr�� are starting to bill for these services in order to
contain costs of service and maintain response times and quality of service.

RELATIONSHIP TO CITY'S STRATEGIC PLAN
The Ciry's Strateeic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic
Vitalin=, Healthy Community, Strong and Secure I�Teiehborhoods and a Connected
Community. Adoption of the resolutions amendins the Cit��'s \�aster Fee Schedule (and
associated ordinances) supports Operational Esceilence Strategy 1.L Uphold a
Commitment to Fiscal Health; through Initiative 1.1.1, Implement Fiscal Recovery and
Proeress Plan.

Staff has determined that the action contemplated by this item is ministerial, secretarial;
manual, or clerical in nature and; as such, does not require the Cin� Council members to
make or participate in making a eo��emmental decision; pursuant to Califomia Code of
ReQulations Title 2, section 18702.4(a). Consequently tlus item does not present a

matter.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed Master Fee Schedule update is based on the cost of service analysis
prepared by NBS. This analysis identifies the maximum amount legally recoverable for
providing user and regulatory fee related services and is based on the City's operating
budget for fiscal year 2013-]4. The City's Cost Recovery Policy is then applied to the
full cost of service to determine the recommended fee amounts and the estimated annual
General fund subsidy amount.
The cost of service analysis prepared by NBS estimates recoverable costs of$3.7 million
annually for the subject services, of��hich NBS estimates the City's current fee structure
recovers only $860,000. Assuming the adoption of the fees recommended herein and
reflected in Resolutions A through J, the City could recover as much as $1.95 million in
additional revenues annually, assuming no change in the volume of fee related services
provided and a collection rate of 100%. The revenue impacts by program area are shown
in Table ] belo�v.

ADOPTED BY: Resolution No.: 2010-14� DATED: 06/08/2010
A.��ENDED BY: Resolution No. (date of resolution)
BACKGROI.JND:
As the City continues its efforts to���ard a sustainable budget that ���ill withstand uncertain economic
times in the lone term, it is appropriate that cost recovery levels be established for services for which
a fee is chareed. The foundation of effective cost recovery is a well conceived, re�ulazlv reviewed
policy. Such a policy provides a euideline for setting fees given tfie full cost of each service, allowin�
optimum cost-recovery rates for certain services and alleviating unintended subsidization of these
services from General Fund resources.
A cost recovery policy provides guidelines for setting fees eiven the full cost of service. It does not
bind policy makers to increasine or decreasine fees, but provides a rationale for doina so. The lo�ver
fees aze set relative to full cost recovery, the more General Fund dollazs aze required to maintain the
service. This additional support must then be weighed against the other needs for General Fund
resources, includin� needs �vhich may not have similaz cost reco��ery options.
V�'hile a primarv mission of eoceinment is to satisfy communiry needs, many city services solely benefit
specific individuals or businesses. It has been the general policv of the Cih� Council that the public at
laree should not subsidize acti�ities of such a private interest through oeneral tax revenues. Therefore,
the Ciry has established user fees to best ensure that those �i�ho use a proprietarv sen�ice pav for ihat
service in proportion to the benefits received. ��'ith few exceptions, such as those services provided for
lo�r-income residents, fees ha�e been set to enable the City to recover ihe full cost of providins those
services.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this Policy is to establish a city���ide cost recovery policy; including:
1. Provisions for ongoing review;
2. Process for establishing cost recovery levels (includin� factors to be considered and eeneral
concepts); and
3. Target cost recovery levels for each program offered by the City.

ADOPTEDBY: ResolutionNo.: 2010-145 DATED: 06/08/2010
AMENDED BY: Resolution No. (date of resolution)
POLICY:
Provision for Onaoing Review
Fees �vill be periodically reviewed in order to keep pace with changes in the cost of living and
methods or levels of service delivery. In order to facilitate a fact-based approach to this review, a
comprehensive analysis of the city's costs and fees should be made at least every five years. In the
interim; fees «�ill be adjusted annually each October 1, by either:
1. Annual change in the City's operating budget; or
2. Annual chanee in the San Diego area's Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers
All updates will be based upon the July to July change in the subject inde� for the prior year (or
portion thereof in the instance of mid-year fee updates).
Process for Establishina Cost Recoverv Levels
Factors to be Considered
The following factors will be considered �vhen setting cost recovery levels for user fees.
1. Community-wide versus special benefit
The use of general purpose revenue is appropriate for community-wide services while user
fees are appropriate for services that are of special benefit to easily identified individuals or
groups. Full cost recovery is not al�vays appropriate.
2. Service recipient versus service driver
After considering community-wide versus special benefit for the service, the concept of
service recipient versus service driver should also be considered.
Pazticularly for services associated with regulated activities (development review, code
enforcement), from which the community primarily benefits, cost recovery from the `driver'
of the need for the service (applicant, violator) is appropriate.
3. Consistency with Cit}� public policies and objectives
City policies and Council goals focused on long term improvements to community quality of
life ma also im act desired fee levels as fees can be used to chan e communit behaviors,

promote certain activities; or provide fundine for pursuit of specific community goals. For
example, the Ciri� has historically subsidized buildine pemuu for photovoltaic sysiems in
order to promote theu use in the communitv. y
4. Elasticiri of demand
Pricing of services can si2nificantly impact demand. At full cost recovery; this has the
specific advantage of ensuring that the Cih� is providine sen�ices for �vhich there is a genuine
mazket; and that it is not over-stimulated by artificially low prices.
Converselv, high levels of cost recovery may neeatively impact the deliverv of services to
lo�ver income groups. This ne�ative feature can work aeainst public policy, especially if the
services are specifically tazgeted to lo�v income groups.
i. Feasibiliri� of collection
Althoueh it may be detemuned that a hi�h level of cost reco�ery may be appropriate for
specific services; it may be impractical or too costiv to establish a system to identify and
chazee the user. The method of assessine and collectine fees should be as simple as possible
in order to reduce the administrative cost of collection. �
General Concepts
1. Revenues should not e�ceed the reasonable cost of providine the service.
2. Cost reco��ery �oals should be based on the total cost of delivering the service; as calculated
usine the fully burdened hourly rates de�eloped in the City's Cost Allocation Plan (CAP),
includin� d'uect cosu; depaRmental administration costs and oreanization �vide supports costs
such as accounting; personnel; informational technolo2}•, legal services, fleet maintenance and
insurance.
3. The method of assessing and collectin� fees should be as simple as possible in order to reduce
the administrative cost of collection.
4. Rate structures should be sensitive to the `market' for similaz services as well as to smaller,
infrequent users of the service.
�. A unified approach should be used in determinine cost recoven� levels for various programs
based on the factors discussed above.

AMENDED BY: Resolution No. (date of resolution)
Determination of Cost Recovery Levels
Level I: 0% -30%
Low cost recovery levels (0%-30%) are appropriate under the following circumstances:
1. There is no intended relationship bet�veen the amount paid and benefit received. Almost all
`social service' programs fall into this category.
2. Collecting fees is not cost effective or will significantly impact the efficient delivery of the
service.
3. There is no intent to limit the use (or entitlement to) the service. Again, most `social service'
programs fit into this category as well as many public safety services. Historically, access to
neighborhood and community parks �vould also fit into this category.
4. The service is non-recu�ring, generally delivered on a `peak-demand' basis, and is not readily
available from a private sector source. Many public safety services also fall into this category.
5. Collecting fees �i�ould discourage compliance with regulatory requirements and adherence is
primarily self-identified, and as such, failure to comp]y would not be readily detected by the
City. Many small-scale licenses and permits fall into this category (hot water heaters, garage
sale permits, etc.)
6. The public at large benefits even if they are not the direct users of the service.
Level II: 30% - 70%
Services with factors associated with both Level I and Level III cost recovery levels would be
subsidized at a mid-level of cost recovery (30%-70%). See Level I and Level III sections of this
Policy for a description of these factors.
Level III: 70% - 100%
Higher cost recovery levels (70%-100%) are appropriate under the following circumstances:
1. The service is similar to service provided through the private sector.
2. Other private or public sector altematives could or do exist for the delivery of the service.
3. For equity or demand management purposes, it is intended that there be a direct relationship
betw�een the amount paid and the level and cost of the service received.
4. The use of the service is specifically discouraged. Police responses to disturbances or false
alarms might fall into this category.
5. The service is regulatory in nature and voluntary compliance is not expected to be the primary
method of detectin� failure to meet regulatory requirements. Building permit, plan checks.
and subdivision review fees for large projects would fall into this category.

Section 1 - Executive Summary
Purpose
The purpose of this report is to describe the findings and recommendations of the Cost of Service Study
of User and Regulatory Fees performed by NBS for the City of Chula Vista.
The City's chief purposes in conducting the Cost of Service Study of User and Regulatory Fees is to
ensure fhat existing fees are calibrated to the costs of service, and to provide an opportunity for the City
Council to optimize its revenue sources, provided that any increased cost recovery from user fees and
regulatory fees would not conflict with broader City goals and values.
. It is generally accepted in California that cities are granted the authority to impose user fees and
regulatory fees for services and activities they provide through provisions of the State Constitution. First,
cities are granted the ability to perform broad activities related to their tocal policing power and other
service authoriry as defined in Article XI, Sections 7 and 9. Second, cities are grented the ability to
establish fees for service through the framework defined in Article XIIIB, Section 8. 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 exampte, the individuaUentity 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 that must otherwise be followed by
the City to impose taxes, special taxes, or fees imposed as incidences of property ownership.
Outcomes — Cost of Service Study of User and Regulatory Fees
This cost of service study examined user and regulatory fees managed by the City departments and
programs shown in the table below. The study identified approximately $859,000 currently collected per
year from fees for service, versus, 53.7 million eligible for recovery from fees for service. The following
table provides a summary of results by department or division studied:

Figures in the table above have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollar increment, for ease of
discussion and reporting purposes. These estimates are calculated based on average cost per activity
and annual activity volumes, and do not tie exactly to actual or future revenues earned. As shown, the :

City is recovering approximately 23% of costs associated with providing user and regulatory fee related
services. Should the City Council decide to adopt a policy of 100% recovery for all fees included in the
report, approximately 52.8 million in additional costs could be recovered, assuming no change in the
annual volume of fee related services provided.
However, as discussed in Section 1 of this report, there are many economic, political, and behavioral
reasons a city's staff or policy makers would not recommend or adopt fees at 100% of their costs. For
these reasons, City staff made an initial effort to incorporate past cost recovery policy direction through
providing "recommended fee" input for each Department studied.
At recommended fee levels, the study identified a cost recovery target of approximately $2.9 million. The
following table provides a summary of recommended fee revenue impacts discussed in this report:

At recommended fee levels, the City would recover approximately 77% of costs associated with providing
user and regulatory fee related services. Should the City Council decide to adopt a policy of reflecting the
recommended fee levels in this report, approximately $1.95 million in additional costs would be
recovered, assuming no change in the annual volume of fee related services provided. �

Section 1 - Cost of Service Study of User and Regulatory Fees
Introduction
The purpose of this report is to describe the findings and recommendations of the Cost of Service Study
performed by NBS to update and establish user fees and regulatory fees for the City of Chula Vista,
California.
It is generally accepted in California that cities are granted the authority to impose these user fees and
regulatory fees for services and activities they provide through provisions of the State Constitution. First,
cities are granted the abiliry to perform broad activities related to their local policing power and other
service authority as defined in Article XI, Sections 7 and 9. Second, cities are granted the ability to
establish fees for service through the framework defined in Article XIIIB, Section 8. 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
individuallentiry on which the fee is imposed. For example, the individuaVentity requests service of the
municipatity 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 activities is discretionary.
As a discretionary service or activity, the individual/entity can avoid the fee. Therefore, the user fees and
regulatory fees considered in this study fall outside requirements that must othenvise be followed by the
City to impose taxes, special taxes, or fees imposed as incidences of properry ownership.
The City's chief purposes in conducting this study were to ensure that existing fees were calibrated to the
costs of service and to provide an opportunity for the City Council to optimize its revenue sources,
provided that any increased cost recovery from user fees and regulatory fees would not conflict with
broader City goals and values.
The following sections of this report document the analytical methods and data sources used throughout
the study, and present recommended cost recovery targets from fees. Appendices to this report include:
• Complete cost of service analysis for each department studied
• Summary of the increase or decrease of each recommended fee amount over the City's current
fee amount
• Comparative fee survey of Chula Vista' fees to other agencies
Scope of Study
The following categories of fees were examined in this study:
• Animal Care services fees, including:
— Dog Licenses
— Animal Adoption
— Animal Impound & Relinquishment
— Vaccinations and Veterinary Fees
• General Library fees, including:
— Library Cards

— Books
— Local History Collection
— Other Services (Test Proctoring, Research)
• Police fees, including:
— Records and Documents
— Processing
— Bicycle Licenses
— Property Recovery
— Vehicle Impound
— Hotel and Motel permitting
— Emergency Response
— Business Regulatory Permits
• Fire fees for the emergency response cost recovery program
To review the complete list of individual fees included in this study, refer to Appendix B, which provides
the complete Cost of Service Analysis and Recommended Fee levels for the City.
The fees examined in this study specifically excluded fees subject to Proposition 218 requirements and
development impact fees. Additionally, this study and the resultant master fee schedule excluded 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 imposing fines and penalties
Methods of Analysis
There were three primary phases of analysis used throughout this Cost of Service Study:
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 which compiles the full cost of providing governmental
services and activities. There are lwo primary types of costs considered: direct and indirect costs.
• Direct costs are those which specifirally relate to the activity in question, including the real-
time provision of the service.
• Indirect costs are those which support the provision of services but cannot be directly or
easily assigned to the activity in question.
An example of a direct cost is the salary and benefit expense associated with an individual performing a
service. In the same example, an indirect cost would include the expenses incurred to provide an office
and equipment for that individual to perform his or her duties, including (but not exclusive to)the provision
of the service in question.
In this Study, direct and indirect costs are further broken down into components of the full cost of service,
described as follows:
• Labor costs — These are the salary/wage and benefits expenses for City personnel
specifically involved in the provision of services and activities to the public.
• Indirect labor costs — These are the salary/wage and benefits expenses for City personnel
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 —These are discrete expenses incurred by the Ciry 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 — These are 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 the City's organization-wide support services. The amount of costs
attributable to each fee program included in this study was developed by the City through
their internally prepared Cost Allocation Plan for Fiscal Year 2011-12.
These cost components are expressed using annual (or annualized) figures, representing a twelve-month
cycle of expenses incurred by the City in the provision of all relevant services and activities.
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 an underlying factor in these activities, the full cost of
service is appropriately expressed as a fuliy burdened cost per available labor hour. This labor rate is
expressed as an individual composite rate for each program included in the fee study, and serves as the
basis for further quantifying the average full cost of providing individual services and activities.
To derive the fully burdened labor Fate for any program, lwo figures are required: the full costs of service
and the number of hours available to perform those services. The full costs of service are quantified

generally through the earlier steps described in this analysis. The number of hours is derived from a
complete listing of all personnel employed by the City and reflected in the labor expenses embedded in
the full cost of service.
Each City employee is assigned a full-time equivalent factor. An employee working full-time has a factor
of 1.0; an employee working exactly half-time has a factor of 0.5. A full-time employee is paid for roughly
2,080 hours per year of regular time. Using this as an initial benchmark of labor time, each employee's
full-time equivalent factor is applied to this amount of hours to generate the total number of regular paid
hours in each departmental program. Next, each employee's annual paid leave hours are approximated
and removed from the total number of regular paid hours to generate the total number of available labor
hours in each departmental program. These available hours represent the amount of productive time
during which services and activities can be performed.
The productive labor hours are divided into the annual full costs of service to derive a composite fully
burdened labor rate for each departmental program. This schedule of composite labor rates is used in
this Fee Study to quantify costs at an individual fee level. It should be noted, however, that the composite
labor rates may also be used by the City for other purposes when the need arises to calculate the full cost
of general services. For nearly all services and activities in a governmental agency — not just those
reflected in a fee schedule—labor time is the most accessible and reasonable underlying variable.
Once fully burdened labor rates are developed, they are used at the individual fee level to estimate an
average full cost of providing each service or activity. For most departments studied, this step required
development of staff time estimates for the services and activities listed in the master fee schedule. In a
few of the departments studied, the City's time tracking records identified the estimated time required to
perform an individual request for service. Interviews and questionnaires develop the necessary data sets
describing estimated or tracked labor time. In most cases, departments estimate the average amount of
time (in minutes and hours) it takes to complete a typical occurrence 'of each service or activity
considered. Every attempt is made to ensure that each department having a direct role in the provision of
each service or activity provides a time estimate.
Development of time estimates is not a one-step process: estimates received are carefully reviewed by
both consultant and management to assess the reasonableness of such estimates. Based on this review,
time estimates are reconsidered until all parties agree that they reasonably reflect average workload at
the City. Once finalized, staff time estimates are applied to the fully burdened labor rate for each
departmental program to yield an average full cost of the service or activity.
The average full cost of service was 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 was 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.
The above-described steps were used for each department to describe the costs of general services,
including those activities related to an existing or newly considered fee. For several subsets of fees,
some deviations in analytical methods were taken to provide supplemental information in defining the full
costs of services.

The complete cost of service analysis developed for each department or division considered in this study
' are discussed in the subsequent chapters and appendices of this report.
Fee Establishment
Calculating fees during this study includes a range of fee structure evaluation activities, described below:
• Addition to and deletion of fees imposed — The study process provides 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 were performed to better conform
fees to current practices, as weil 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 coilecting 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 was imposed. - -
. Revision to the structure of fees — In most cases, the current structure of fees was
sustained; the level of the fee was simply recalibrated to match the costs of service and
targeted cost recovery level. In several cases, however, the manner in which a fee is
imposed on a user was changed. In the majority of cases in which this was done, the primary
objective was to simplify the fee structure, or increase the likelihood that the full cost of
service would be recovered.
Proposed fees, if other than the full cost recovery amount established through this analysis, are
summarized in each subsequent section of this report, and further detailed and presented in the reporYs
Appendices.
Cost Recovery Evaluation
CuRent levels of cost recovery from existing fee revenues were stated simply by comparing the existing
fee for each service or activity — if a fee was imposed — to the average full cost of service quantified
through this analysis. Cost recovery was expressed as a percentage of the full cost. H cost recovery rate
of 0% means no costs are recovered from fee revenues. A rate of 100% means that the full cost of
service is recovered from the fee. A rate between 0% and 100% indicated 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.
Determining the targeted level of cost recovery for a new or increased fee is not an analytical exercise.
Instead, targets 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, practicality of collection, 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
Cost of Service Study—City of Chula Vista 7
Prepared by NBS— December 2013 14-33
ATTACHMENT 3
benefit? When a service or activity completely benefts the public at large, it can be argued reasonably
that there should be no cost recovery from fees (i.e., 0% cost recovery): that a truly public-benefit service
is best funded by the general resources of the City, such as discretionary General Fund revenues (e.g.,
taxes). Conversely, when a service or activity only benefits an individual or entity, it can be argued
reasonably that 100% of the cost should be recovered from fees collected from the individual or entity.
An example of a completely private beneft service may be a request for exemption from a City regulation
or process.
Under this approach, it is often found that many governmental services and activities fall somewhere
between these two extremes, which is to say that most activities have a mixed benefit. In the majority of
those cases, the initial cost recovery level targeted may attempt to reflect that mixed public and private
benefit. For example, an activity that seems to have a 40% private beneft and a 60% public benefit
would yield a cost recovery target from fees of 40%. An example of a mixed benefit service may be the
review and approval of private work that would affect the public right-of-way; the City's involvement allows
the private work to proceed while protecting the safety in and access to the area by the general public.
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 exclusively or
supplement the public/private benefit 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 that could
be helped or hindered through the degree of pricing for the activities?
• Could fee increases adversely affect City goals, priorities, or values?
For specific subsets of City fees, even more specific questions may influence ultimate cost recovery
targets:
• 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 sub�ective —the consultant in charge of the analytical outcomes of
this study has provided the full cost of service information and the framework for considering fees, while
those closest to the fee-paying population — the City departments — have considered appropriate cost
recovery levels at or below that full cost. Consult the Appendices of this report for a presentation of
calculations of the full cost of service, recommended fee levels, as well as the percentage change
between the City's current and recommended fees.

Comparetive Fee Survey
Results of a Comparative Fee Survey for the City of Chula Vista are available as an appendix to this
report. NBS worked with the City to identify relevant comparative agencies for each department studied.
Often policy makers request a comparison of their jurisdiction's fees to surrounding communities or
similar scopes of operations. 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 proposed by the consultanYs report and staff recommendations.
Comparative fee surveys do not, however, provide information about the cost recovery policies or
procedures inherent in each comparison agency. A"market based" decision to price services at below the
cost of service analysis results shown for the City of Chula Vista, 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.
This comparison to other cities integrates Chula Vista's restructured fee schedule, and atso adapts
existing fee amounts to the new structure. The survey compares average current fee amounts to those of
other surveyed agencies to provide information on how the City currently compares, before action to
increase or decrease fees for service are taken.
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 Chula Vista's Adopted Budget for Fiscal Years 2013-14.
• 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 invotved department.
• Time tracking data per project, whenever available.
The City's adopted budget is the most significant source of information affecting cost of service results. It
should be noted that consultant did not conduct separate efforts to audit or validate the City's financial
managgment and bu_dget 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 reasonabie level of City spending.
Consultants accept the City Council's deliberetive 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.
Beyond data published by the City, original data sets were also developed to support the work of this
study: primarily, estimated staff time at various fevels of detail. To develop these data sets, consultants
prepared questionnaires and conducted meetings and interviews with individual departments. In the fee

ATTACHn4ENT 3
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 departmentai
management reviewed and questioned responses to ensure the best possible set of estimates.

Section 2 — Animal Care
Many activities and services provided by Chuta Vista's Animal Care Department are not recoverable via
user or regulatory fees, such as ongoing patrol and complaint response services. The scope of analysis
reviewed various fees associated with licensing, impound and relinquishment, and veterinary services.
Cost of Service Analysis
NBS developed a composite fully-burdened blended hourly rate for the Animal Care Department,
summarized in the table below:

Fee Establishment and Cost Recovery Evaluation
Appendix 8.1 presents the results of the detailed cost recovery analysis for fee recoverable services. The
"Cost of Service per Activity° column establishes the legal maximum at which a fee could be charged for
the corresponding service identified in the"Fee Activity° list.
The following table provides a summary of results for the Animal Care Department:
Animal Care I asz.000 I s z seo 00o I is�ro i s �.soz.000 I �o��
The Animal Care Department collects approximately S452,000 in fee related revenue per year, at project
activity levels assumed for the most recent complete fiscal year. If the City were to implement each fee
level at the calculated "Cost of Service per Activity" amount, approximately S2.56 million per year in costs
could be recovered, assuming no change in the annual volume of fee related services provided. When
annual current fee revenue is compared to the total cost of providing services, the DepartmenPs fees
currently recover approximately 18%of eligible costs.
It is common for many Animal Care fees to be either capped by the State, or set below the maximum full
cost recovery amount established through a user and regulatory fee study. The consultant in charge of
the analytical outcomes of this study has provided the full cost of service information and the framework

for considering fees, while those closest to the fee-paying population —the City departments�onsidered
appropriate cost recovery levels at or below that full cost. If fees were adopted at the"Recommended Fee
Level" shown in Appendix 6.1, approximately $1.8 million per year in costs would be recovered, and the
Departments fees would recover approximately 70% of eligible costs.

Section 3 — Library
Most activities and services provided by Chula Vista's Library Department are not recoverable via user or
regulatory fees. The scope of this user and regulatory fee analysis for the Library Department focused
solely on various administrative processing fees.
Cost of Service Analysis
For the Library Department, fees were calculated following fully-burdened labor rates that were derived
for several specific categories of personnel. This was performed uniquely for this Department, in order to
conform to the manner in which it examines and understands its own provision of services and activities.
It is simply an alternate methodology that allowed the Department to better participate in the Fee
Estab'lishment phase of the analysis.

The Library collects approximately $1,400 in fee related revenue per year, at project activity levels
assumed near the most recent complete fiscal year. If the City were to implement each fee level at the
calculated "Cost of Service per Activity" amount, approximately $4,000 per year in costs could be
recovered. When annual current fee revenue is compared to the total cost of providing services, the
Division's fees currently recover approximately 35% of eligible costs.
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 — have considered appropriate cost recovery
levels at or below that full cost. Section 1 of this report may be referenced for cost recovery evaluatio�
guidelines. The Library Department recommends a range of cost recovery for services studied. For Non-
California Resident Library Cards, cost recovery of nearly 100°/o is recommended. Cost recovery for all
I other services considered in the current fee study ranges from 20°/o to 50%. When annual recommended
fee revenue is compared to the total cost of providing services, the Department would recover an
additional $600 per year, or approximately 50% of eligible costs. It should be noted that several new fee
items added during the Study's process are not included in pro�ections of recommended fee revenue
above.

charged for the corresponding service identified in the "Fee Activity" list When the Cost of Service per
Activity is compared to the "Current Fee" amount, most fee items for the Police Department generally
under recover their costs, are subject to a limited fee set by the State, or are limited to a "copy charge"
fee. Some Department fee activities show a recovery of more than the established "Cost of Service per
Activity" amount. This is a typical outcome of any fee analysis.
The Police DepaRment generates approximately $406,000 in fee related revenue per year for the
activities included in this study, at project activity levels assumed for the most recent complete fiscal year.
If the City were to implement each fee level at the calculated "Cost of Service per Activity" amount,
approximately $585,000 per year in costs could be recovered. When annual current fee revenue is
compared to the total cost of providing services, the Division's fees currently recover approximately 69%
of eligible costs.
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 — have considered appropriate cost recovery
levels at or below that full cost. Section 1 of this report may be referenced for cost recovery evaluation
guidelines. The Police Department recommends 100% cost recovery for all services studied. When
annual recommended fee revenue is compared to the total cost of providing services, the Department
would recover an additional �77,000 per year, or approximately 83% of eligible costs.

In Appendix B.4, the "Cost of Service per Activity" column establishes the maximum at which a fee could
potentially be charged for the corresponding service identified in the "Fee Activity" list. For the Fire
Department, existing fees for emergency response either did not exist prior to this study, or were not
directly translatable into the format of this analysis. As such, if the City were to implement each fee level
at the calculated "Cost of Service per Activity" amount, approximately$523,000 per year in costs could be
recovered.

Section 6 - Conclusion
Based on the cost of service analysis, cost recovery evaluation, and fee establishment phases of analysis
in this study, the proposed master schedule of fees formatted for implementation has been prepared and
included by City staff as an attachment to their Staff Report.
As discussed throughout this report, the proposed fee schedule includes fee increases intended to greatly
improv2 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 di�cult to quantify.
For the near-term, the City should not count on increased revenues to meet any specific expenditure
pian. 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 is already a living document and should be 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 a either
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, Iegisiative vaiues, 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 Vacking abiiities will greatly enhance the City's ability to set fees for service and identify unfunded
activities in years to come.

....................... ...............................................................................................................................................................................................
The purpose of this section related to trieger lock and safe firearm storage is to reduce the
incidents of accidental eun deaths caused by the unintentional discharge of a loaded
firearm. Ten (10) percent of all Qun deaths in the United States are caused by accidental
or unintentional dischazge of a loaded firearm. One out of three deaths from accidental
14-109
firearm discharges could be prevented by a firearm safety device. Most children who
accidentally injure or kill themselves or a friend do so while playing with a loaded
fireazm found in their home or a friend's home. The number of accidental deaths and
injuries attributed to firearms and other weapons is unacceptable and wanants stricter
control over the handling and storage of lawful firearms. Firearm owners have a
responsibility to keep the public safe from the consequences associated with the
proliferation and unsafe storage of firearms. Trigger locks or other similaz devices, when
properly used, can prevent the accidental dischazge of firearms. This city has an interest
in encouraging firearm oNners to store their firearms in a safe manner and out of the
reach of children. (Ord. 2774 § 1, 1999).
