Summary Title: FY 2018 Proposed Municipal Fee Schedule
Title: Fiscal Year 2018 Proposed Municipal Fee Schedule
From: City Manager
Lead Department: Administrative Services
Recommended Motion
Finance Committee to recommend that the City Council approve amendments to the Municipal
Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2018.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Finance Committee recommend that the City Council approve
amendments to the Municipal Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2018.
Background
Annually, as part of the budget process, staff submits changes to the Municipal Fee Schedule
for Finance Committee review and recommendation, followed by final approval by the City
Council. The City charges fees and fines for a variety of services provided. For example, these
include fees for photocopies, building inspection services, or room rentals.
In Fiscal Year 2013, staff embarked on a cost of services study for most departments. Part of
that study included a review of the City’s calculation of expenditures linked to a particular fee
activity in order to determine the cost recovery level. These expenditures include the budgeted
cost of staff time including salaries and benefits; related non-salary expenditures; department
and citywide cost allocations to recuperate costs for department management oversight and
internal support functions such as purchasing, payroll, or human resources.
On April 6, 2015 staff presented as part of a study session a draft User Fee Cost Recovery Level
Policy. Based on Council input and support for the policy, Council approved the policy on May
18, 2015, detailed in the chart below.
City of Palo Alto Page 2
The policy served as a guide to update the Planning and Community Environment Department
fees and the Development Services Department’s non-valuation fees that were brought to the
Finance Committee for review in Fiscal Year 2016 and 2017, respectively. The Development
Services Department is currently in the process of evaluating their valuation-based fees, also
utilizing the policy as a guide, and recommendations stemming from this fee study will be
brought forward to the Finance Committee in fall of 2017.
Discussion
As mentioned above, on May 18, 2015 the City Council approved the User Fee Cost Recovery
Level policy. During the April 6, 2015 Study Session, the City Council suggested that staff bring
forward adjustments to fees as part of the amendments of the Municipal Fee Schedule for
Fiscal Year 2016 using the policy as guidance. Further, the City Council suggested that fees
discussed in the report that brings forward amendments to the Municipal Fee Schedule be
focused on (1) new fees, (2) deletion of existing fees, and (3) changed fees to attain a higher
cost recovery level consistent with other fees or based on a market study for similar services.
That direction was followed in the development of the annual 2017 Municipal Fee Schedule and
has been continued in this report that recommends the Municipal Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year
2018.
The majority of fees across the City were increased by 6.0%, the average increase of salaries
and benefits for Fiscal Year 2018, from Fiscal Year 2017 rates in order to maintain the cost
recovery levels as approved in Fiscal Year 2017. Those fees that were adjusted by a factor other
than 6.0% to attain a higher cost recovery level or adjusted based on a fee or market study are
City of Palo Alto Page 3
detailed in Attachment A.
The Development Services Department underwent a significant Fee Study, examining their non-
valuation fees in Fiscal Year 2017, and their recommended changes were adopted by the City
Council on December 12, 2016 as part of CMR #7525: PUBLIC HEARING: Adoption of an
Ordinance Amending the FY 2017 Municipal Fee Schedule to Reflect Development Services Cost
of Services Study and FY 2017 Annual Adjustment. However, upon further review of the non-
valuation fees adopted in December 2016, the Development Services Department discovered a
limited number of fees that warranted additional study. In an abundance of caution, the
department has reverted these fees to the pre-December 2016 level pending this study. The
department has since completed re-examining fee levels for these fees, and updated rates are
presented in Attachment A.
The Office of the City Auditor completed the Community Services Department Fee Schedule
audit in Fiscal Year 2017. One of the recommendations from this audit was to revise the
existing fee policy to allow certain fees to recover more than full costs associated with
providing service. Over the course of Fiscal Year 2018, staff will examine the existing fee
structure in more detail to determine whether adding a new cost recovery category is
warranted and also work with the City Attorney’s Office to determine which categories of fees
are not subject to laws that limit fees to cost recovery. If necessary, as part of the Fiscal Year
2019 budget process, staff will suggest appropriate adjustments to the fee policy.
New Fees
As identified in Table 1 below, sixteen new fees are recommended to be added to the Fiscal
Year 2018 Proposed Municipal Fee Schedule: one in Administrative Services, four in Community
Services, one in Development Services, one in Library, eight in Planning and Community
Environment, and one in Public Works.
Administrative Service is adding a fee to recover the cost of Revenue Collections staff
time for processing duplicate receipt requests.
Community Services is adding a fee to recover costs of providing additional keys to lease
holders at Cubberley Community Center, a corporate package add-on and a portable
dance floor rental options to the community room rental at Lucie Stern Community
Center in response to customer demand, and an exclusive 10-hour (2:00PM to midnight)
Saturday rental of Lucie Stern Community Room and Patio area at a discounted rate.
Development Services is adding a technology surcharge to recover costs associated with
a new Accela support service contract.
Library is adding a fee for their new 3-D printing service.
Planning and Community Environment is proposing to add six new residential parking
permit fees as part of their new parking revenue strategy, as well as a parking space
closure fee.
Public Works is adding a fee to recover costs associated with repairing or replacing a
damaged traffic property.

Changed Fees
One hundred twenty fees are recommended to be adjusted either by a factor other than 6.0%
to attain a cost recovery level consistent with other fees or increased based on a market study.
The 120 fees detailed in Attachment A are broken down as follows: 59 in Community Services,
14 in the Green Building Division of Development Services, 6 in the Public Works Division of
Development Services, 12 in Fire, 17 in Planning and Community Environment, and 12 in Public
Works. Each fee is listed by name along with the Adopted Fiscal Year 2017 rate, the Proposed
Fiscal Year 2018 rate, the percentage change, and the fee change justification.
City of Palo Alto Page 6
An example of a fee being increased by a factor greater than 6.0% is the Public Works
Temporary Discharge to Storm Drain from Construction Site Dewatering. The current proposed
Fiscal Year 2018 rate for this fee is $14,093 per request to discharge, which represents an
increase of approximately 380% compared to the Fiscal Year 2017 rate. Public Works staff
analyzed the body of work necessary to perform the work of administering the permit,
including testing, monitoring, and protective measures for temporary construction-related
dewatering based on the Council directive. Based on their analysis, staff currently estimates
the fee will need to be increased by approximately $11,000, with $10,000 of this increase
allotted for consultant costs to meet the Council directive. Public Works staff released a
Request for Proposal (RFP) for consultant services for temporary construction-related
dewatering testing, monitoring and protective measures. Proposals for these consultant
services may potentially result in adjustments to the proposed fees prior to final adoption by
the Council. Before the end of this fiscal year, staff will bring forward results from the RFP
process along with appropriate fee adjustments, if necessary.
Development Impact Fees
In the Planning and Community Environment Department, development impact fees were
updated to reflect the most recently published Construction Cost Index for the San Francisco
Bay Area, as calculated by the Engineering News Record. This is in accordance with Municipal
Code 16.64.110, as amended on November 28, 2016 (CMR #7518) to standardize when these
fees are paid, bring uniformity to the calculation in effect, bring uniformity to the annual
adjustment rate, and other updates. Since these fees are governed by the applicable Municipal
Code section, they are not discussed in Attachment A.
Resource Impact
The majority of fees are recommended to be increased by 6.0% due to the equivalent average
citywide increase in salary and benefits costs from the Fiscal Year 2017 Adopted Budget to the
Fiscal Year 2018 Proposed Budget. As outlined in Attachment A, 120 fees are recommended to
be changed by an amount other than 6.0% to attain a higher cost recovery level consistent with
other fees or adjusted based on a fee or market study. Development Impact fees are increased
in accordance with the applicable Municipal Code sections. The revenue adjustments
associated with these various fee level adjustments have been factored into the development
of the Fiscal Year 2018 Proposed Operating Budget as appropriate.
Policy Implications
These recommendations are consistent with existing City policies. In accordance with
Proposition 26, the amount of new or increased fees and charges is no more than necessary to
cover the reasonable cost of the City service, and the manner in which those costs are allocated
to a payer bears a fair and reasonable relationship to the payer’s burden on, or benefits
received from, such a City service.

Environmental Review
Adjustment to the Municipal Fee Schedule does not constitute a project as defined in Public
Resource Code Section 21065 for the purpose of the California Environmental Quality Act.
