12 Staff Report - Continuing Certain Department Fees~pW N 0 cos Ga~oS COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT MEETING DATE: FEBRUARY 19, 2008 ITEM NO: I DATE: FEBRUARY 13, 2008 TO: MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL FROM: GREG LARSON, TOWN MANAGER SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION CONTINUING CERTAIN DEPARTMENT FEES, RATES AND CHARGES, AND AMENDING CERTAIN FEES, RATES, AND CHARGES FOR FY 2008/09. 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 of Los Gatos' Financial Policies require that certain fees, rates and charges for services be maintained to provide for cost recovery based on the cost to the Town. In order to comply with this mandate staff periodically reviews the cost of providing such services and recommends appropriate increases in fees supported by cost data. For development-related fees, the California Government Code requires a 60-day waiting period between the approval of a Resolution and the implementation of such fees. As the Town's proposed FY 2008/09 Fee Schedule contains a number of development-related fee changes, which will be reflected in the FY 2008/09 proposed budget, staff recommends an effective date of July 1, 2008 (132 days) for implementing all fees contained in the proposed Fee Schedule. Staff based the proposed FY 2008/09 Fee Schedule on the comprehensive fee study that was prepared by Public Resource Management, Inc, (PRM) as part of the FY 2005/06 fee update. Staff first reviewed all fees charged by the Town for various departmental services and for private development activity, and then used current costs to update the Town's cost of service "baseline" data that was established by PRM.

February 13, 2008 DISCUSSION: The attached proposed FY 2008/09 Comprehensive Fee Schedule (Attachment 2) is the Town's master schedule and it includes detailed listings of all fees charged by the Town. For purposes of tracking changes in Town fees from year to year, all proposed changes to fees for FY 2008/09 are summarized in the attached Recommended Fee Changes and Additions for FY 2008/09 (Attachment 3). In addition to this document, highlights of certain fee changes or newly proposed fees for FY 2008/09 that staff believes are relevant for further discussion/explanation are presented by service category below. The fee resolution adopted for FY 2007/08 provided for a 3.4% increase in most development fees, based on the December 2006 change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The FY 2008/09 Fee Schedule has been increased by 3.8% based on the December 2007 CPI and building pen-nit fees are increased by 2.8% based on the February Building Cost Index. It is anticipated that these increases will better reflect the increased cost of service delivery in FY 2008/09. All other changes to the Fee Schedule other than CPI and newly proposed fees are described below: Development Services: General Development Services Fees No additions to the General Development Services fees are proposed for FY 2008/09. Building Division Fees No additions to the Building Division fees are proposed for FY 2008/09. Planning Division Fees No additions to the Planning Division fees are proposed for FY 2008/09. Engineering Division Fees No additions to the Engineering Division fees are proposed for FY 2008/09. Community Services No additions or adjustments to the Community Services Department fees are proposed for FY 2008/09. Library Fees and Fines No additions or adjustments to the Library Department fees are proposed for FY 2008/09. Parks and Public Works Parks Division Fees Pageant Grounds - In an effort to bring Park fees in line for similar uses, the usage fee for the Pageant Grounds is recommended to change to an hourly fee similar to the Oak Meadow Park Bandstand. Staff believes that this fee will better reflect the cost of the Park use when it is not available for other purposes. PAGE 3 MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION CONTINUING CERTAIN DEPARTMENT FEES, RATES AND CHARGES, AND AMENDING CERTAIN FEES, RATES, AND CHARGES FOR FY 2008/09. February 13, 2008 Police Fees and Fines No additions to the Police Fees and Fines fees are proposed for FY 2008/09. CONCLUSION: Staff recommends that the Town Council approve the attached adjustments to the Town Fee Schedule to be effective July 1, 2008. 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 proposed new fees will help defray the current cost of services and decrease the Town- wide subsidy of private activity, in adherence with the Town's financial policies. Staff will incorporate the estimated revenue increases into the Town's FY 2008/09 Operating and Capital Budget using conservative volume of activity projections. Attachments: I. Resolution 2.

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.
