COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

TO:
MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL
FROM:
DEBRA J. FIGONE, TOWN MANAGER
SUBJECT:
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
periodically reviews its cost of providing services and recommends appropriate increases in fees
supported by cost data. 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 fee changes which are assumed in
the soon to be released FY 2006/07 proposed budget, staff recommends an effective date of July 1,
2006 (61 days) for all fees contained within the proposed FY 2006/07 Fee Schedule.
Because a comprehensive fee study was prepared as-part of the FY 2005/06 fee update, staff opted
to prepare this year's update "in house." Staff reviewed all fees charged by the Town for various
departmental services and also fees charged for private development activity, updating the Town's
cost of service "baseline" data established the prior year by Public Resource Management, Inc,
(PRM) with current cost estimates to ensure fees keep pace with updated costs of service delivery.

May 1, 2006
DISCUSSION:
The attached proposed FY 2006/07 Comprehensive Fee Schedule (Attachment 1) is the master
Town document which includes detail listings of all fees charged by the Town. This year the
Fee Schedule has been reorganized to make it more user friendly for the Town Council, the
public, and staff. A table of contents has been added and a Development Services section is
presented combining the formerly separate sections titled General Development Fees, Building
Fees, Planning Fees and Engineering Fees related to private development.
For purposes of tracking changes in Town fees from year.to year, all proposed changes to fees
for FY 2006/07 are summarized in the attached Fee Schedule Recommended Changes
(Attachment 2). In addition to this document, highlights of certain fee changes or newly
proposed fees for FY2006/07 that staff believed were relevant for further discussion/explanation
are presented by service category below.
Town General Administrative Fees
The Cleaning and Utility Fee for the use of Town facilities is recommended to be increased from
$20 the first hour to $30 for the first hour to recover actual staff time required for setup and
cleanup of the Council Chambers. Copy charges are also recommended to be increased to $0.25
per copy from $0.10 per copy as allowed under the provisions of state law. The Certification of
Town Records is also recommended for an increase from $1 to $3 per certification to align the
fee with actual staff time required to certify Town records.
Development Services
As provided for in the fee resolution adopted for FY 2005/06, most development fees have been
adjusted for expected inflationary increases next year using the December 2005 rise in the
Consumer Price Index (CPI) which was 2%. For FY 2006/07 most fees are adjusted upwards by
two percent (2.00%) CPI to keep pace with the increased cost of service delivery expected for
next year. Changes other than CPI changes and newly proposed fees are described below:
General Development Fees
The proposed revisions to the Fee Schedule are the result of a more holistic view of applicable
fees the delivery of "development services" regardless of the department that provides the
services, such as Community Development or Engineering. For FY 2006/07 two new fees
(Address Processing Fees and Engineering Development Review Service Fees) are proposed
within the General Development Fee section of the Revised Fee Schedule.
The Address Processing Fee (Item F presented in General Development fees) was originally
listed in the General Administrative Fee Section of the Fee Schedule and was administered by
the Clerk's Department. Staff recommends the fee be moved and listed in the Community
Development Department section of the fee schedule. In reviewing the time spent processing an
address request, staff estimates a couple of hours is required, on average. Time includes review

of an application, site visit, creation of approval letter and routing to agencies/departments, file
creation or modification, and updating maps and computers. Other jurisdictions charge as
follows:
City of San Jose $100 an hr. (two hour minimum)
City of Mountain View $195
City of Santa Clara $200 Special Investigation Fee
Staff recommends that a $200 flat fee would recover current costs and is consistent with other
jurisdictions in this area.
The Engineering Development Review Services fee (Item H presented in General Development.
fees) recovers engineering review services required for proposed developments/construction
projects and planning applications. In reviewing holistically the services provided for private
development, staff confirmed that some significant services provided by Engineering staff had
not been recovered in prior years. Staff had not recovered these costs because they were "cross
departmental" services that were not part of the home department's customary fee schedule.
Examining the cost of services from a service delivery perspective, it became evident that these
cross-departmental service costs were not being recovered in the fee schedule and thus were
being subsidized by the General Fund. Engineering services are normally required as part of the
development review, building plan check and the construction inspection process. The PRM
study of 2005 identified that Engineering was under-recovering development review costs. Staff
estimates that this fee will recover approximately $100,000 annually in engineering costs due to
private development activity.
Housekeeping Update to General Development Fee Schedule
In prior years, taxes or fees enacted by ordinance or legislated by State law have been charged by
the Town on development activities, but were not formally listed as part of the Town's
Comprehensive Fee Schedule. These taxes and fees include the Construction tax, Underground
Utilities tax, Park Fund tax and the Seismic Hazards Mapping Program (SMIP) fee. Staff now
recommends these taxes and fees be added to the General Development Fee section of the fee
schedule. They are presented in items I through L of the General Development Fee section.
This recommended action does not change the tax rate or SMIP fees as they are subject to either
local voter or state legislative approval process, but by adding them to the fee schedule, a user
can fmd all applicable fees and taxes in one document.
Building Division Fees
The new "Special Systems Fee" will allow for a uniform permit fee approach for those special
construction projects (i.e., solar (photovoltaic), generators, and large HVAC systems), where
capital equipment costs tend to skew the project valuation figures upon which most building
permit fees are based. Past practice for a building permit had been to assess the fee based upon
PAGE 4
MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL
SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION CONTINUING CERTAIN DEPARTMENT FEES,
RATES AND CHARGES, AND AMENDING CERTAIN FEES, RATES, AND
CHARGES
May 1, 2006
the value of these systems. The systems were expensive, leading to accompanying higher
building permit fees. In recent years, technological advances in special systems, like solar,
enable less complex and consistent installation techniques, thereby allowing for a more efficient
inspection process. Based on these advances and their associated cost savings, the Town has
adjusted its fees accordingly to align with current lower plan check and inspection costs. The
fees collected on special systems projects are recommended to be based on a minimum fixed
hourly rate for plan check and inspections. For example, a simple residential photovoltaic
system will have a total permit cost of approximately $421. More elaborate and complicated
special systems that require more staff time for the permitting and inspection process will be
assessed a fee based on hourly rates to recover costs. The new fee amount places the Town in
lower middle range of cities surveyed who impose a similar fee.
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) fee is a new fee being recommended
for FY 2006/07 for the building division. The fee is not actually a "new" fee, it was charged in
FY 2005/06 in Parks and Public Works Engineering Division. The fee is recommended to
recover current costs in the Town's ongoing responsibility under its permit from the State Water
Quality Control Board to prevent, monitor and inspect for actual or potential pollutant discharge
to the Town's waterways. The fee will recover costs of inspection on all building permits where
staff determines a potential for storm water runoff pollution may occur. To keep the costs as low
as possible through efficiency measures, staff will shift the NPDES inspection responsibility to
the Town's building inspectors who are already at the building site as part of the normal
inspection process versus having a separate NPDES inspection performed by Town engineering
staff. If the applicant is obtaining a grading or encroachment permit for the project, a separate
NPDES inspection and fee will be assessed for that work by the Town's Engineering staff.
Planning Division Fees
The Conditional Use Permit language for restaurants has been revised to clarify what type of
process is required. Tier One and Tier Two permits are recommended to read Minor Restaurant
(Development Review Committee Approval) and Major Restaurant (Planning Commission
Approval), respectively.
Conditional Use Permit "Applications that require Town Council Approval" is a new
recommended fee of $1,862 which staff determined will recover the actual costs incurred for
applications involving restaurants that serve alcohol and require Town Council approval.
A Transcription fee recovery of "actual cost" with a $500 minimum deposit is recommended to
be added to the fee schedule for conditional use permits, rezoning, and planned development to
cover actual transcription costs related to each individual project that requires approval by the
Town Council.
Fees for Subdivision Applications that are approved by the Development Review Committee but

CHARGES

forwarded to the Planning Commission for action are recommended to be increased from $1,755
to $1,862 and Conceptual Development Advisory Committee Review applications are
recommended to be increased from $1,134 to $1,445 to recover actual staff time for preparing
reports.
Engineering Division Fees
A new Annexation Advertising deposit of between $1,000 to $2,200 (varies upon the size of the
annexation map) will be collected with the Annexation Fee. The Deposit will be used to cover
the advertising cost associated with Annexation. Applicants will be refunded any remaining
deposit and will be responsible for any fee above the deposit.
The fee for using an Outside Inspector is recommended to be the actual cost plus 14.7%
overhead. The overhead rate is per the calculation method provided in Resolution 2005-133 as
approved by Town Council on December 19, 2005.
The Underground Utility Locating Surcharge for an outside contractor is recommended to be
increased from $30 to $50 to recover the current cost charged to the Town for this service.
The Street Improvements In Lieu Fee, which applies to sidewalks and curbs and gutters, is
recommended to be increased from $10 per linear foot to $15 per linear foot for sidewalks and
from $50 to $55 for curb and gutter to better align with actual installation costs.
Hauling Permit fees are recommended for a small increase from $507 per house to $517 and the
associated Deposits for Facilities Damage are recommended for a small increase from $2,028 to
$2,050 reflecting the rising costs of damage recovery.
Community Services.
No adjustments to the Community Services Department fees are proposed for FY 2006/07 as
staff believes the current fees charged are at or near the top of the comparable market rates as
informed by a recent fee comparison made by the department.
Library Fees and Fines
The Library recommends one adjustment to the Library Department fees for FY 2006/07. The fee
for Inter-Library Loan (non Silicon Valley Library System) has been raised from $1.00 to $2.00.

Other jurisdictions charge as follows:
City of Palo Alto
$7.50
City of Mountain View
$5.00
City of Sunnyvale
$2.50
City of Santa Clara
$2.00
A $2.00 fee would be consistent with the lower end of charges levied by other jurisdictions in this
area.
Parks and Public Works
Parks Division Fees
Park Use Permits (residential and non-residential) are recommended to be increased from $60
and $80 to $75 and $100, respectively, to be consistent with the Specific Park Use fees in order
to close the gap of cost recovery. The newly proposed fee levels at the higher non-residential
rate are still slightly below similar fees charged for park use at the neighboring county park.
The Organized Recreational Activity Use Multiple Date fees (past practice has been that the fee
was generally charged to organizations sponsoring classes at the park for non-profit and
profit/private parties) are recommended to be increased from $60 first day plus $15 each
additional day and $80 first day and $30 each additional day for non-profits, to $75 the first day
plus $15 each additional day and $100 the first day and $30 each additional day for profit/private
parties. The recommended increases will better align these fees with all other Park fees and will
lower the current subsidy in terms of cost recovery for this service.
Vehicle Escort Fees charged when a park service officer escorts a vehicle into the park and out
again in vehicle restricted access areas are recommended to be increased from $60 to $75 for
residents and from $80 to $100 for non-residents.
Tree Removal Permit Application fees are recommended for increase from $110 to $120 for one
tree and from $55 to $60 for each additional tree to better recover the costs of current service
delivery.
Police Fees and Fines
A description of the Local Booking Fee and Emergency Response Fee was changed to read "At
current billing rate" as calculation method is set forth in the Town Council resolution 2005-133
adopted December 19, 2005 by Town Council.
No other adjustments to the Police Department fees are proposed for FY 2006/07 as current fees
charged are at or near the top of the comparable market rates as informed by a recent fee comparison
made by the department.

CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that Town Council approve the attached adjustments to the Town Fee Schedule
to be effective July 1, 2006.
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. The new fees collected will aid in offsetting the current cost of service and will
decrease'the Town-wide subsidization of private activity in adherence to the Town's financial
policies.
Staff will incorporate the estimated revenue increase into the Town's FY 2006/07 Operating and
Capital Budget using conservative volume of activity projections.

TOWN OF LOS GATOS FEE SCHEDULE
The following Fee Schedule is effective July 1, 2006 through June 30, 2007, unless updated by the
Town Council through the public hearing process. The Fee Schedule will be adjusted annually by
the December Consumer Price Index (Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor for the
San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose Metropolitan Statistical Area) or by the percentage increase in
actual operating costs for the current year - whichever is higher. This Fee Schedule also provides for
minimum annual adjustments for those fees that are directly related to personnel costs. Other
adjustments may be made to maintain consistency with the surrounding municipalities within the
Town of Los Gatos region but in no case are fees charged in excess of service delivery costs.
