RECOMMENDATION
Staff requests that the Finance Committee recommend City Council approval of the proposed
changes to the Municipal Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2011.
DISCUSSION
This staff report transmits the proposed Municipal Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2011. Changes
to the Municipal Fee Schedule book are shaded, and text that has been deleted has a line through
it. Based on current cost recovery policies, fees are increased to recover the full cost of providing
services after increases in expenditures. An explanation of all increases is detailed in Attachment
A. The major changes to the. Fiscal Year 2011 Municipal Fee Schedule include:
1. The Administrative Services Department is proposing to increase various existing fees
primarily within the Real Estate Division, including processing fees, easement vacation,
easement document preparation and processing, and public notice fees. The increases are
needed to achieve full cost recovery.
2. The City Clerk's Office is proposing to increase the packet fee to achieve ful! cost
recovery.
3. The Community Services Department is proposing to increase various existing fees to
achieve full cost recovery. The fee changes are within various areas, including Arts and
Sciences, Golf Services, Recreation Activities, Open Space and Parks, Rentals and
Reservation, Cubberley Community Center Facility Rental and Personnel Rates, and
Theatre Rental. Additionally, some fees were restructured for better clarification, such as
the Junior and NCGA Junior golf fees, Swimming membership card/swim pass for youth,
adult, and senior, and Facility Rental of Gym A and Gym B at Cubberley Community
Center. New fees include registrations for Children's Theatre birthday parties, locker
rental, Open Space and Parks facility admission, Rental and Reservation at the Children's
CMR:262:10 Page J of)
Theatre and Community Theatre, Athletic grass fields, and Children's Theatre show
produetion Participation Fee.
4. The Fire Department is proposing the increase of various permit and inspection fees to
achieve full cost recovery. Permit fees include life safety and fire protection permits and
plan reviews, hazardous materials storage permits (Title 17), and specific hazard permits.
In addition. investigation and consultation fee have increased and paramedic transport
fees.
5. The Library Department is proposing adding two new fees. including a penalty for
damaged and lost senior care kit and the sale of CD-R (compact disc recordable).
6. The Planning and Community Environment Department is proposing the increase of
various Building. Planning. and Transportation fees to achieve full cost recovery.
Building Division fee increases include Plan Review fees and Building Permit fees, for
both residential and non-residential. Planning Division fee increases include
Architectural Review, Historical Resource, Comprehensive Plan Change, Development
Agreement, Development Projects Preliminary Review, Environmental Impact
Assessment, Director's Approval, and Individual Review, Site and Design, Subdivision,
Use Permit and Temporary Use Permit, Variance, Zone Change, and Appeals. New fee
increases include general fees relating to Residential Inspection Guidelines and other
publications, Reactivations, and Certified Access Specialist Review. Other new fees also
include Environmental Impact Assessment mitigated negative declaration, CEQA
Categorical Exemption, Individual Review Minor Revisions to approved projects, and
Public Noticing Application Fees. Under the Transportation Division, Parking Permit
fees are increased for full cost recovery and a new fee for Valet Parking Permit for traffic
signal maintenance is proposed. In accordance with State law, the development-related
fees go into effect sixty days after Council adoption.
7. The Poliee Department is proposing the increase and restructuring of Police Service Fees
and various Animal Service fess, including Adoption and Impound fees, Veterinary
Services, Permit and Clinic fees. These increases are to provide for full cost recovery.
8. The Public Works Department is proposing a restructuring of the Demolition fees based
on the type of project and its valuation.
RESOURCE IMPACT
Approval of the proposed changes to the Municipal Fee Schedule is projected to result in a net
General Fund revenue increase of approximately $668,000 when compared to the Fiscal Year
2010 Adjusted Budget. All fees in the Fiscal Year 2011 Municipal Fee Schedule are intended to
recover costs associated with City departments providing these services. Even with some fee
increases, revenue associated may not neeessarily increase if the volume activity drops. And
similarly, as some revenues increase, resulting from fee increases, other increases are the result
of higher volume, not increased fees. These revenue impacts are summadzed in the resource
level change tables contained within each departmental section of the Fiscal Years 2011
Proposed Budget. All fees, with exception to the development-related fees, go into effect the
first of July.

Resources Code Section 21065 for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act.
