RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Hold Public Hearing on the revision of development related and gene
City fees.

ITEM EXPLANATION
The City conducted a review of fees charged by all major departments during
latter part of 1990-91. The recommendations made within the report prepa:
by David M. Griffith and Associates (DMG), are based on the concept that f
should be set to recover the cost of services. In addition, staff from affec
departments have reviewed the report and made subsequent recommendatic
on the proposed fees. Generally, the recommended fees do not complet
recover costs for performing a service, resulting in subsidized services.
Development related fees which include planning and engineering services
recommended for a general increase of approximately 5% to 10%. Althoug
much larger fee increase could be defended on a cost of service basis for cert
types of services, the City's position has been that some subsidy is approprj
where the service benefits the general public. The recommended fee increa
reflect a balance between the need to fund services and the need for complia
and public benefit. Both the DMG Study and staff recommend that fees
increased in an effort to capture inflation and recover costs. The only f
recommended to remain at current levels are those associated with
acquisition of grading permits. In this case, it is important to avoid pricing
cost of compliance out of the reach of the individual or small organizations wl
it is in the City's best interest to encourage conformance with standards. I
estimated that increased development related fees will yield approximai
$53,000 annually in additional revenue.
New fees have been recommended in several areas.
include the following:
Examples of new i
Master Plan Pre-Submit
Waste Water Discharge Permit
Appeal City Council City Engineers Decision
Tentative Tract Map Extensions
Although revenue from new fees is not anticipated to be major, the time SF
by staff in these and other areas related to development should be recove
through fees.

General City fees are also recommended for increase in an effort to capti
inflation and recover costs. Included within this category of fees are thc
increases ranging from 10% to 15%. There is also a new series of fees
individualized instruction recommended within the aquatics category.
Emergency medical transport fees are recommended for increase, from $165
$200 plus the cost of supplies. It is estimated that increased fees will result
an additional $43,000 annually. The assessment of new fees within fire servi
are recommended and primarily address use permits, plan review and inspecti
of fire protection system installations. Again, the time spent by staff in thl
areas should be recovered through fees. It is estimated that permit applicat:
fees will yield an additional $18,000 annually.
The Park-In-Lieu fee is the only capital fee recommended for increase. 1
increase is based upon a recent appraisal of property within the northw
quadrant, and increases the value of an acre of land from $1 75,000 to $195,0(
This results in increasing the fee per unit of development within this quadra
All other fees are recommended to remain at their current levels. The Cour
recently reviewed and adopted revised Traffic Impact Fees, Sewer Fees and Wa
rates. All fees are shown within this document in an effort to compile all f
charged by the City in one centralized place.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Charges for services are estimated to provide approximately $4.3 million
General Fund revenue in the 1991-92 budget. This revenue source supports ab
10% of the General Fund budget. Fees for services are set by the City COUI
to recover all or part of the cost of providing certain services provided
individuals or organizations benefitting from the service. The proposed actil
recommend increases in fees that will provide up to $114,000 annually additional revenue to the General Fund.

1991-92 FEE ADJUSTMENTS
Senior Management Analyst - Finance Q^,
In July, 1991, a Report on Fees, Charges and Revenue as prepared by David M. Gn
(DMG) was submitted to the City. The main principal behind the recommendai
included in this report is that, where possible, fees should be set to recover the co
services. The recommendations made by both staff from departments which generate
and the DMG Report recognize that the City Council may wish to subsidize services tc
public. This memo will outline the recommendations made by both City staff and the I
report, which are not necessarily the same. Where differences occur, they are discu
Several new fees as well have been identified both by staff and the DMG Report
include charges for fire inspection permits and for appeals to the City Council.
The DMG Report recommends increasing fees by $398,924, or 16.8% over 1989-90.
recommendations result in increased fees of $93,000. Following are discussions of the
which are recommended for each applicable program area.
DEVELOPMENT RELATED FEES
PLANNING
Both the DMG study and City staff recommend increasing Planning fees by approxim 5% to 10% in order to capture 1990-91 inflation and to recover City costs.
recommended fees are shown in the attached fee schedule. This level of fee assess
recovers about 50% of the Citys cost of providing planning services. Staff estimates
if current volumes of activity are maintained, the increase in planning fees will fie
additional $50,000 annually.
Fees charged for Tentative Tract Maps both Residential and Non-residential have
modified in order to improve upon the equity of the fee correlating with work perfo
and to more accurately charge for work based upon volume. Further the proposed rnt
of assessing these fees more accurately reflects the amount of time both Engineerin]
Planning functions put into the map reviews. The fees are based upon a base fee I
charge per unit or lot reviewed. For example, a Tentative Tract Map, Residential wi
lots for review has a current fee of $1,050 and a proposed fee of $6,000 for an inc
of $4,950 or 471%. The increase occurs both within the base rate, up $1,450, and j assessment of a per unit or lot fee of $100.
L e e
There are two service areas which are subsidized within the planning process. The
relates to the costs of general plan maintenance. It is difficult to assess user fees for
service as this is a community based activity having an impact on all local residents.
second subsidy area is the pursuit of special projects as requested by the City Counci
to address transportation planning and habitat management issues. The General
update is an example of a special project for which costs are not being recovered.
possible to recover these costs by placing a surcharge on building permits, based or
construction valuation. The DMG Report states that the cost of updating the General
is approximately $405,000. It is not recommended that this fee be established.
ENGINEERING
The DMG Report indicates that the grading permit fees are significantly below cost,
recommends these fees be increased. The DMG Report recommends increases ranging
$500 to $5,350 depending on the volume of grading. City staff does not concur wit1
recommendations made in the Report, and recommends retaining the current fees. A
fee is included within the DMG Report, which is for a waste water discharge perm:
$1 15.00. Staff however recommends a fee assessment of $25 in order to minimally rec
the costs associated with complying. Staff's recommendations consider the cost of sen
market conditions, and benefits to the City. It is important to avoid pricing the co
compliance out of the reach of the individual or small organizations when it is in the (
best interest to encourage conformance with standards.
With the exception of plan checking fees, all other fees within the Engineering arei
recornmended to increase by approximately 5% in an effort to capture infla
Engineering staff estimates that the increased fees will yield an additional $3,2C
revenues. The DMG Report and staff alike do not recommend increasing the plan chec
fees.
GENERAL CITY FEES
FIRE
The DMG Report recommends raising the basic ambulance service fee from $165
supplies to $200 plus supplies, for emergency medical transport. This represen
increase of $35.00 or 21% over the present fee. Compared to Carlsbad's neighboring c
Vista and Oceanside, Carlsbad's fee would still be the lowest fee for basic transport sei
Oceanside charges a flat rate of $260 while Vista charges a rate of $310 plus $5.01
mile. Fire staff supports the DMG recommendation, and estimates that the increase(
will result in an additional $43,000 in annual revenue for the City.
The DMG Report also recommends the City implement a new annual charge for fire p
applications which would recover 60% of the cost of providing the service. Fire stal
reviewed the DMG Report permit application fees and their method of assessment, an
several of its own recommendations to make. First, fire staff recommends that the f
0 0
assessed only at the time of permit application, as opposed to annually as suggested in
DMG Report. Staffs recommendation considers that as long as the conditions of the pe
are maintained, the City incurs no additional expenses and cannot reasonably chargc
annual fee. Fire inspections are regularly conducted whether or not a permit is requ
of a business, and as long as compliance is maintained, an annual assessmen
unreasonable. The major cost in issuing the permit is when it is initialized, as plans codes are thoroughly researched.
Second, staff recommends full recovery of the costs associated with the actual issuanc
permits considering the purpose of a user fee is to recover costs of services provided. C
for issuing fire permits were based upon the estimated time it takes to issue a spe
permit, multiplied by the hourly rate of the reviewing employee including administr:
and overhead charges. The hourly rate used was $80 per hour.
Third, staff recommends that the fee be reassessed only upon failure of a busines
maintain the conditions of the permit, which would be discovered during a roi
inspection. If the permit needs re-issuing then the fee should be applied. This can s
as an incentive to businesses to maintain the conditions of the permit.
It is estimated that during the first year, the permit application fees will bring i~
additional $18,000 annually in revenues. AU complying uses and processes requ
permits which exist on the effective date of this ordinance will be issued permits a
charge as part of the routine inspection.
Both the DMG study and staff recommend full recovery of administrative costs relatt
weed abatement. Administrative cost, including a ratio established for overhead, i
average of $80 per parcel. Staff recommends the assessment of $80 per parcel for T
abatement administration plus any additional expenses needed to compensate for
contractor's charge.
Staff is also recommending the assessment of one new fee for fire reinspections.
assessment of this fee would recover costs of fire staff as result of builder's failui
comply with orders, notices, and code requirements. Continuous failures re(
reinspections and unusual demands on staff time. Any single reinspection required w
assessed at $40.00.
AQUATICS
It is recommended that fees associated with Agua Hedionda Lagoon remain at cu
levels. Fees associated with pool usage are recommended for increases ranging gene
from 10% to 15% and have not been increased for approximately 3 years. Increasin,
fees now will keep with the effort of capturing inflation that has occurred over time.
series of new fees are recommended which which address, 1)individualized instructii
basic swimming, and 2) advanced instruction/coaching. The proposed fee is $17.0(
hour and $25.00 per hour respectively for residents, and $23.00 and $31.00 for
residents. Presently, individualized instruction is not offered as part of the aq
e 0
residents. Presently, individualized instruction is not offered as part of the aqi
program. Establishing the fee for individualized instruction will allow the program t
offered with all costs recovered.
A modification in a series of existing aquatic fees is also recommended. The recommei
fee consists of changing the four month pass to a term of six months, and renaming
Season Discount. This results in an increase of $1.75 or 20% per month for the Se
Discount - Adult Resident, and $.75 or 7% for Season Discount - Family Resident.
Season Discount can be purchased on a pro-rated basis. This recommended chan;
based upon survey results of fees Carlsbad charges for passes which indicate that the
is currently below average. Second, a study of season pass users was conducted and re
indicate that a pass lasting for a longer time period with the option to purchase on a
rated basis would be desirable.

referenced opportunities for appeals to the City Council. All appeals are included ii

SUMMARY
The recommendations contained within this report were assembled in accordance
state statutes requiring that the City establish fees that are directly related to the c(
providing services. The completion of the David M. Griffith and Associated, LTD, Rep
Fees, Charges and Revenue provided the basis for establishing the relation between cost
fees. Recommended fees do not exceed the cost of providing the service, although in
instances fees are equal to or less than the actual cost. Where necessary, fees were re(
so as not to exceed the cost of providing the service.
Although it would be ideal to fully recover the City's cost of providing any one sew
is important to understand the impact of a full cost recovery policy upon the users.
subsidy of services can meet one or more of several goals. First, lower costs can p
0 e
an identified group or individuals to participate in services they might not otherwis
able to afford. Second, although fees are used to recover some City costs, an effort is n
to avoid placing the cost of compliance out of the reach of most people. Third, fees
be used to encourage or discourage certain activities. For example, assessing higher
for increased water usage can encourage conservation.

IRE:
Dear Mayor and CounciTznemh:
The Construction lndustry Feder(ition appreciates this oppormniry IO comment on the proposed increases to development relared fees, general city fees, and orher fees.
CF has reviewed the proposed fee increases and is concerned,with &e negative impacr and harm7 influcncc it will have on the business community as well as the citizens of Carlsbad. The propow
fee imeddSc=s cannot be Considered "small" especiaUy during ou poor economic sinmion; the
increases directly impact businesses, existing homeowners, and new development.
CIF hps puhiiciy suppomd fee increases many times in the pas? in carfsbad, and would SU~K a
increase to tfiese types of fees in normal economic times. However, we find it hstraling and
difficult fo support any fee increases at this unfavorabb time.
To that end, we respec#& request fhar the proposed incremes be &@ed and revisited in one yc or when ecuwm'c situation becorns brighter.
CXF appreciiues yaw consideration of these comments.
