ITEM NO. 17
ADOPT RESOLUTION CONTINUING CERTAIN DEPARTMENT FEES,
RATES AND CHARGES, AND AMENDING CERTAIN FEES, RATES, AND
CHARGES
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Open and hold the public hearing.
2. Close the public hearing.
3. Adopt the resolution continuing certain department fees, rates and charges, and amending
certain fees, rates and charges.
BACKGROUND:
The Town's Financial Policies require that "fees are maintained to provide for cost recovery based
on the cost of the Town providing the services". In order to comply with this mandate, the Town
is obligated to review its cost of providing services and to recommend appropriate increases in fees
supported by cost data. Town Council approved comprehensive fee increases last May 2002,
effective July 2002 and provided that in lieu of detailed cost analysis, certain fees at a minimum
should increase at the minimum of the increase in CPI index measured for the annual period from
February 2002 to February 2003. The California Government Code requires, for development -
related fees, a 60-day period between approval of the Resolution and implementation of the fee.
Because the Town's Fee Schedule contains a number of development -related fees, staff recommends
an effective date of July 7, 2003 (63 days) for all fees contained within the FY 2003/04 Fee
Schedule.

To provide some background, David M. Griffith Associates (DMG) was engaged by the Town of
Los Gatos in 1997/98 to conduct a detailed study of user fee service costs and revenues. The
objectives were to: (1) calculate the full cost (both direct and associated overhead) of providing
Town services, (2) compare costs with revenues currently received for these services, and (3)
recommend realistic, achievable fee recovery levels, No action was ever taken on that study. The
study was revisited in January 2002 for the FY 2002/03 fee update. However, the use of the 1997/98
study was limited because cost calculations were out of date (FY 1997/98's costs compared with the
fees charged for the service). Staff used it primarily as a reference point in recommending fees for
FY2002/03, factoring in easily verified bargained labor cost increases from 1997/98 through 2001/02
in establishing cost increases. In April 2003, the Town contracted with Public Resource
Management Group (PRM) to perform a current detailed cost of service analysis on applicable fee
and charges, concentrating mostly on development -related services using current fiscal costs.
The study was performed under the general direction of the Finance Department with the
participation of the Community Development and Parks and Public Works departments. The
primary goals of the study were to update the 1998 cost data, review and update staff time estimates
on labor hours associated with providing fee related services, to adjust costs for departmental
staffing changes and re -organizations, and to update the Town's Cost Allocation Plan to provide
proper allocation of Town overhead across all departments.
DISCUSSION:
PRM Group has performed an update of the previous David M. Griffith study, analyzing current
costs and associated fees and charges. The Finance Department asked PRM to concentrate in the
"fee for services" category, versus general government fees such as those collected by the Library,
Town Clerk and Finance. General government fee charges and any suggested changes are based on
current known costs or fees provided by statute. The Town's fee for service category is primarily
for development related services. The departments where most of these services are provided are
the Community Development and the Parks and Public Works departments.
The cost analysis began with an update of the budget and staffing information to reflect the current
fiscal year. PRM noted some changes to staffing, and a significant re -organization of
responsibilities, such as moving the building inspection and plan checking activities from Parks and
Public Works to the Community ievelopment department. PRM then updated the 1997/98 study
with assistance from staff in the Community Development and Parks and Public Works department
reviewing and updating the study's prior assumptions relative to time estimates to provide services.
PRM also had Town staff provide any revisions that would better reflect changes in service levels,
service responsibilities, etc. Updated fiscal information was then matched to updated service level
information to produce the direct costs of providing fee -for -service activities.

In addition to updating the direct costs, PRM updated the Town's Indirect Cost Allocation Plan.
The Indirect Cost Allocation Plan identifies administrative and management overhead support
and allocates it on an equitable basis to departments providing direct line public service.
Overhead costs distributed on this basis were from departments such as Town Manager,
Finance, Town Attorney, and Human Resources. The cost plan allocates an appropriate amount
of this Town -wide indirect overhead cost to all Town departments providing direct services to
the community such as the Police, Community Development, Parks and Public Works, and
Community Services. This indirect component is added to the direct costs in order to provide a
complete picture of all costs of providing fee -for -service activities. Finally, the full cost of
providing services was then compared to the current fees and revenues collected, and a subsidy
(or over -charge) was identified. This provides the Town with the basic cost information that it
needs to determine appropriate cost recovery levels, corresponding subsidy levels, and can be
used to generate estimates for increased revenue into the general fund.
Although the user fee study is a significant factor in determining the level of fees to charge, it must
be balanced with a number of other factors including existing Council policies regarding provision
of certain services, elasticity of demand, and affordability and parity with surrounding jurisdictions.
Although PRM had a fee survey of area cities available for comparison purposes, PRM confirmed
to staff that it would be extremely difficult to compare fees between the Town and other local
governments. Typical differences in fees charged between local governments are, (1) cost recovery
goals for the local government, (2) the date the last cost analysis was performed by the local
government, (3) and each local government's level of service reflected in a given fee.
A review and comparison by PRM of staff time required in a number of fee for service activities
associated with areas of development review and private development activity with the level of
service required by other communities determined that in many services this community's demands
surpass those of other local jurisdictions for similar services. The level of service required by our
community does have a financial cost associated with that activity that must be accounted for and
either charged as a fee, subsidized by the Town as a "community benefit" or changed indirectly by
adjusting policies and community expectations regarding staff services associated with private
development activity.
Upon completion of the update of the Town's current cost of service to fees charged, the PRM study
reveals that except for the building inspection and plan checking activity (near 100% cost recovery),
the Town's current fee structure is not completely recapturing the current costs of providing services.
In the case of developmental review activity, as a whole, the fees charged are recovering an average
among all fees charged in the program of approximately 61 % of full cost. In the Engineering and
Capital Projects activities supporting private development such as encroachment permits and grading
inspections, current fees are recovering on average 43% of total costs for this service activity.

Due to the disparity between cost of service and current fees charged, staff is proposing various
levels of fee recovery with the goal of achieving as close to full cost recovery as possible. Though
substantial increases would be allowable under the Town's financial policies, Town staff in some
cases believes a more acceptable approach would be to phase in adjustments to revenue over a
number of years until costs are recovered by the fee, or policy changes as to level of service required
or application streamlining opportunities can be implemented by the Town.
The attached Fee Schedule Recommended Change -Attachment 1 presents staff recommendations
for identified areas of service whereby fee increases are proposed by staff. Attachment 2 is the
resolution approving the Comprehensive Fee Schedule Incorporating Changes (Exhibit A to
Attachment 2) that encompasses all recommended fee changes described in Attachment 1 and all
other fees that did not change and remain at FY 2002/03 approved levels. Highlights of the proposed
changes are as follows:
A. Community Development
In Fiscal Year 2002/2003 development fees were increased 15% in an effort to improve the level
of cost recovery in processing development related applications and requests. Prior to the increase
last year, fees had not been adjusted since 1996. The recent fee study completed by the PRM Group
found that although the level of cost recovery improved, the Town is currently averaging a cost
recovery rate of approximately 60% of incurred costs for all development related fees. The study
revealed that based on current costs, the present recovery rate for individual fees range from 33%
to 94% . As an example, the fee for Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC)
recovers only 41 % of the actual cost.
Although the fee increases last year improved the recovery of associated development costs, the
subsidy rate remains below the objective of 100 % cost recovery. As such, it is recommended that
seventeen development application/permit fees be increased to achieve a cost recovery rate of
between 80% and 100%. For example, it is recommended that the fee for a new permanent sign
request be increased to capture 100% of the cost from $170 to $250 but this does require that staff
evaluate and implement process streamlining opportunities to achieve 100% cost recovery in this
example. Staff also recommends that a zone change application which does not involve a general
plan or specific plan amendment would be increased from $3,420 to $3,633 to maintain 100 % cost
recovery. The recommended adjustments for each of the seventeen identified fees are presented in
the Community Development Fee Schedule Recommended Changes - Exhibit A to Attachment 2.
The methodology used by the Community Development staff was to recommend increases to those
fees that require a significant amount of staff time and/or that are most common. Those fees that are
recommended to be 100% cost recoverable are those that are typically developer driven, of a
speculative nature, and of a larger scale. The two fees that are recommended for 80% cost recovery-
A&S minor projects and Minor Residential applications- are typically independent one-time only
homeowner applicants desiring to add -on to their home or their independent business. The 20%

RATES AND CHARGES, AND AMENDING CERTAIN FEES, RATES, AND
CHARGES
May 2, 2003
unrecoverable costs for these types of projects are associated with staff time responding to
surrounding neighbors and addressing concerns of residents that should not necessarily be entirely
borne by an individual applicant who is typically a resident and not in the development business or
not a business conglomerate.
B. Community Services
For FY 2003/04 the Neighborhood Center staff with unanimous approval from the Community
Services Commission is recommending certain fee increases as follows:
(1) The monthly lease rate for the Neighborhood Center be raised from $1.17 per square foot to
$1.75 per square foot per month. These rates have not been increased since 1991. At that
time, there was a deliberate effort to recover some of the costs of providing space to tenants,
while allowing affordable leased premises space in Town. Since 1991, the costs of
maintaining the Neighborhood Center have increased considerably, as have the cost of
comparable space in Town. Recent staff surveys indicate rates charged from a low of $1.75
to $3.25 per square foot. The recommended increase is to $1.75 per square foot, the lowest
rate in the range survey. There are two long term tenants, SJSU's Foundation The Health
Place and the Teen and Family Counseling Center, each has been a tenant since 1991 when
the current lease rate was adopted. The proposed new rate is equivalent to a 3.5% increase
both tenants would have experienced had increases occurred annually since 1991. One
tenant did protest the increase in lease fees, but the Commission was unanimous in its
approval of staff's recommendation. Staff believes both tenants intend on remaining at the
Neighborhood Center for the foreseeable future.
(2) Hourly use fees for Category II (Non -Profit Community Service Groups) and III (Private
Parties) users of the Neighborhood Center are proposed to be increased as shown in the
attached fee schedule. Fee increases are necessary due to increased facility maintenance
costs, increased staff time required to coordinate the Neighborhood Center, and dropped
reservations. Staff also compared the proposed fees with neighboring communities for
similarly used facilities available to the public to ensure the Town's fees are comparable and
this assumption was confirmed by staff. An example of the fee increase is the Large Hall
Hourly Rental fee for Category III users (Private Parties) which is proposed to increase to
$100 per hour for Town residents from the FY 02-03 rental of $80 per hour. Non-resident
category III users hourly rates are recommended to increase from $160 per hour to $200 per
hour.
(3)
Resident Non Profit Discounts of 35% and 15% off Regular Resident Non -Profit rates
respectively, were given by Town Council in 1991 are both currently given to two long term
renters, Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA). Staff recommends
in FY 2003/04 that the discount rate be approved at 15% for both groups and be eliminated

MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL

RATES AND CHARGES, AND AMENDING CERTAIN FEES, RATES, AND
CHARGES
May 2, 2003
in FY 2004/05. Staff believes that providing discounts to just these two non-profit users
does not create parity with other non-profit Category II users of the facility. The phased
approach of reduction in discount is intended to allow both AA and NA time to determine
how best to use Town facilities in the future.
C. Parks and Public Works
Engineering and Capital Projects -Development Activities
Parks and Public Works staff examined their current fee schedule in relation to the cost analysis
performed by PRM. On average, private development activity fees during FY 2002/03 are
recovering approximately 19% of full cost. The 19% is an average of all fees collected for private
development activity versus the cost of providing that service. Individual fees to cost basis differ
from the average subsidy rates. For example, the cost analysis revealed private development activity
services such as Grading inspection were recovering approximately 50% of full cost. Staff reviewed
these finding with PRM and made appropriate increases to these fees, in some cases where fee
increases to 100% recovery would be substantial or out of line with market neighboring
communities, staff recommended a multi -year phased approach to full recovery, in other cases where
proposed fees were comparable with other local governments prevailing rates, fee increases
approaching 100% recovery are recommended. Cost analysis details supporting cost versus fee
determinations was available for the department's use in determining recommended changes to the
fee schedule. Notable increases recommended by staff are Engineering Plan Checking fees
increasing one per cent per thousand in value, from 5 to 6 per cent on the first $50,000 of value and
from 3 to 4 per cent on values above $50,000. Inspection fees increasing one per cent per thousand
in value, from 8 to 9 per cent on the first $50,000 of value and from 4 to 5 per cent on values above
$50,000. On a typical residential development in the Town (grading work approximately $32,000
in value), fees for these services would increase approximately $600 in total for engineering plan
check and . Another notable increase is Grading Inspection fees increasing from $1.00 per cubic
yard in excess of 15 cubic yards to $1.40 per cubic yard in excess of 15 cubic yards. This increase
is necessary to address the 50% subsidization rate of this activity.
Parks and Forestry
Small increases in these fees are recommended to offset current subsidies or to make the Town's fees
consistent with the County park system. An example of this fee increase is staff s recommendation
to increase Resident Group Barbeque Reservation fees for one site from $35 to $40. All other
miscellaneous proposed fee increases are detailed in the attached Fee Schedule Recommended
Changes - Exhibit A to Attachment 2.

D. Library
Library staff recommends adjusting the daily fine for adult overdue books from 20 cents to 25 cents
per day and children's books from 15 cents to 25 cents per day. Both fines are similar to overdue
fines imposed by other local libraries with the Silicon Valley Library System.
E. Police
Certain fees and charges for the Police Department were adjusted in May 2002 effective July 2002,
no further adjustments at this time are proposed by the Police Department in fees and charges for
2003.
F. General Administration
Certain fees and charges for General Administration were adjusted in May 2002 effective July
2002, no further adjustments are proposed in these fees for 2003.
G. Future Fee Change Considerations
Staff is considering calendaring the annual fee update process for fall each year with the
objective of having fee increases adopted effective January 1. The change in the schedule would
assist from a scheduling perspective by having cost analysis work done during off budget
development activity periods. It will also aid in budget development by being able to better
predict fee revenue effective in July of any year with new fee revenue rates established effective
that January.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that Town Council approve the attached adjustments to the Town Fee
Schedule to be effective July 7, 2003.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
The Town's fee resolution is not a project subject to CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Town's financial policies require that fees be maintained to provide for cost recovery for fee
related services. Overall additional "new" revenue to the Town based on FY 2002/03 activity is
expected to be approximately $80,000 to $100,000 annually in General Fund revenues and
PAGE 8
MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL
SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION CONTINUING CERTAIN DEPARTMENT FEES,
RATES AND CHARGES, AND AMENDING CERTAIN FEES, RATES, AND
CHARGES
May 2, 2003
$95,000 in Non Point Source Fund revenues. The new fees collected will aid in decreasing
Town -wide subsidization of private activity in adherence to the Town's financial policies. It
should be noted that the actual amount of revenue or revenue realized beginning in FY 2003/04 •
is subject to fluctuation due to projected departmental declines in overall activity volume for
development projects.
Staff will incorporate the estimated revenue increase into the Town's FY 2003/04 Operating and
Capital Budget using conservative volume of activity projections. As stated earlier, staff is in
some cases recommending a lower cost recovery percentage/fee than required to recover full
costs, based on policy considerations or with the intention of phasing the increase over a period
of years.

For a number of years the Town has rented space to two non-profit organizations that have used the
Neighborhood Center on a recurring weekly basis. Since these uses are on going, the two non-profit
groups are eligible for a discounted rate; however, the current discount formula is rather cumbersome
and difficult to administer. Staff recommends that a simple percentage discount be applied to the
regular room fee. This will simplify the record keeping and accounting for both the Town and the
two non-profit groups. The percentage discount method will generate approximately S500 less in
annual revenue. Recommended discounted fees per room, based on the relative amount of use by
each group, are as follows:
Narcotics Anonymous (NA) - 15% Discount
Alcoholics Anonymous (SPAA) - 15% Discount
Main Hall S25.50 per hour
Lounge S 12.75 per hour

Kitchen nia
Main Hall S25.50 per hour
Lounge S 12.75 per hour

Kitchen n/a
Page 16 of 30
Payments for these uses will be billed by the month and due by the 151h of the month
following the use.
As is the case now, no discount would apply on the charges for an attendant when such is
required for the use of the Center.
