ITEM EXPLANATION
The City conducted a review of fees charged by all major departments duri
May and June of 1990-91. The recommendations made within the rep(
prepared by David M. Griffith and Associates (DMG), are based on the concc
that fees should be set to recover the cost of services. In addition, staff frt
affected departments have reviewed the report and made subsequc
recommendations on the proposed fees. Generally, the recommended fees do r
completely recover costs for performing a service, resulting in subsidized servic
Development related fees which include planning and engineering services i
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 approprii
where the service benefits the general public. The recommended fee increa:
reflect a balance between the need to fund services and the need for compliar
and public benefit. Both the DMG Study and staff recommend that fees
increased in an effort to capture inflation and recover costs. The only fc
recommended to remain at current levels are those associated with I
acquisition of grading permits. In this case, it is important to avoid pricing 1
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. Ba:
on current volumes, it is estimated that increased development related fees v
yield approximately $53,000 annually in additional revenue.

an additional $43,000 annually. The assessment of new fees within fire sed(
are recommended and primarily address use permits, plan review and inspectii

1992-93 FEE ADJUSTMENTS
In July, 1991, a Report on Fees, Charges and Revenue as prepared by David M. Grij
(DMG) was submitted to the City. The main principal behind the recommendatj
included in this report is that, where possible, fees should be set to recover the cos
services. The recommendations made by both staff from departments which generate
and the DMG Report recognize that the City Council may wish to subsidhe sedces to
public. This memo will outline the recommendations made by both City staff and the D
report, which are not necessarily the same. Where differences occur, they are discus
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. 5
recommendations result in increased fees of approximately $100,000. Following
discussions of the fees which are recommended for each applicable program area.

recommended fees are shown in the attached fee schedule. This level of fee assessn
recovers about 50% of the City's cost of providing planning services. Staff estimates
if current volumes of activity are maintained, the increase in planning fees will yielc
additional $5 0,O 00 annually.
Fees charged for Tentative Tract Maps both Residential and Non-residential have 2:
modified in order to improve upon the equity of the fee correlating with work perfon
and to more accurately charge for work based upon volume. Further the proposed met
of assessing these fees more accurately reflects the amount of time both Engineering
Planning functions put into the map reviews. The fees are based upon a base fee pl
charge per unit or lot reviewed. For example, a Tentative Tract Map, Residential wit1
lots for review has a current fee of $1,050 and a proposed fee of $5,500 or an increas
$4,450 or 424%. The increase occurs both within the base rate, up $1,450, and in
assessment of a per unit or lot fee of $100 each.

service as this is a community based activity having an impact on all local residents. '
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 fl
$500 to $5,350 depending on the volume of grading. City staff does not concur with
recommendations made in the Report, and recommends retaining the current fees. St;

revenues. The DMG Report and staff alike do not recommend increasing the plan checl
fees.
GENERAL CITY FEES
FIRE
The DMG Report recommends raising the basic ambulance service fee from $165 1
supplies to $200 plus supplies, for emergency medical transport. This represents
increase of $35.00 or 21% over the present fee. Compared to Carlsbad's neighboring cit
Vista and Oceanside, Carlsbad's fee would still be the lowest fee for basic transport sew
Oceanside charges a flat rate of $260 while Vista charges a rate of $310 plus $5.00
mile. Fire staff supports the DMG recommendation, and estimates that the increased j
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 pel
applications which would recover 60% of the cost of providing the service. Fire staff
reviewed the DMG Report permit application fees and their method of assessment, and
several of its own recommendations to make. First, fire staff recommends that the fet
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 pel
- 0 ..I
.
are maintained, the City incurs no additional expenses and cannot reasonably charge
annual fee. Fire inspections are regularly conducted whether or not a permit is requj
of a business, and as long as compliance is maintained, an annual assessmeni
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 issuancl
permits considering the purpose of a user fee is to recover costs of services provided. CC
for issuing fire permits were based upon the estimated time it takes to issue a spec
permit, multiplied by the hourly rate of the reviewing employee including administra
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 rou
inspection. If the permit needs re-issuing then the fee should be applied. This can st
as an incentive to businesses to maintain the conditions of the permit.
It is estimated that, at current volumes, the permit application fees will bring in
additional $8,000 in annual revenues. All complying uses and processes requiring pen
which exist on the effective date of this ordinance will be issued permits at no chargc
part of the routine inspection.
Both the DMG study and staff recommend full recovery of administrative costs relatec
weed abatement. Administrative cost, including a ratio established for overhead, is
average of $80 per parcel. Staff recommends the assessment of $80 per parcel for w
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 failurc
comply with orders, notices, and code requirements. Continuous failures reqi
reinspections and unusual demands on staff time. Any single reinspection required wil
assessed at $40.00.
AQUATICS
It is recommended that fees associated with Agua Hedionda Lagoon remain at cur levels, Fees associated with pool usage are recommended for increases ranging gener from 10% to 15% and have not been increased for approximately 3 years. Increasing
fees now will keep with the effort of capturing inflation that has occurred over time. (
series of new fees are recommended which address, 1)individualized instruction in b
swimming, and 2) advanced instruction/coaching. The proposed fee is $17.00 per E
and $23.00 per hour respectively for residents, and $25.00 and $31.00 for non-reside
Presently, individualized instruction is not offered as part of the aquatic pros
Establishing the fee for individualized instruction will allow the program to be offered T,
all costs recovered. It is also recommended that a fee for non-resident pool user:

$1.75 per use.
A modification in a series of existing aquatic fees is also recommended. The recommenc fee consists of changing the four month pass to a term of six months, and renaming i
Season Discount. This results in an increase of $1.25 or 15% per month for the Sea
Discount - Adult Resident, and $.75 or 7% for Season Discount - Family Resident. '
Season Discount can be purchased on a pro-rated basis. This recommended changl
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 res
indicate that a pass lasting for a longer time period with the option to purchase on a I
rated basis would be desirable.
RECREATION
Recreation programs currently assess an additional non-resident fee to many activities
is recommended that the non-resident fee be increased as follows:
Instructional Classes/Daytrippers From $2.00 to $3.00 per class/ei Open Play at Community Centers
Youth Sports - per person
From $1.00 to $3.00
From $5.00 to $10.00
It is estimated that these additional charges will yield an additional $10,000 in reven
LIBRARY
The Library is recommending two new fees which are associated with the service
provides. First, is a loan/borrowing fee for the use of audio visual equipment at a rat
$5.00 per day, per item. There is no existing fee for use of this equipment which requ
maintenance as well as staff time to process its' circulation. Second, is a fee for pre-se:
for online searching of $5.00. Currently, patrons pay only direct line charges, wl
average $15.00 per search, for computer time used. The recommended pre-search
would be in addition to any line charges and would partially cover staff time, whic
about one hour. Additional revenue which could be gained through the assessmen
these fees is estimated at $3,700 per year.
OTHER FEES
Appeals to City Council is a set of new general fees which are recommended for inch
The Information Systems Director compiled a list of all citings in the Municipal Code wl
referenced opportunities for appeals to the City Council. All appeals are included in
attached schedule under the broad headings of 1) Appeal - City Council - City Engint
Decisions, and 2) Appeal - City Council - Miscellaneous. A fee of $120 per appe;
recommended which is consistent with that which is assessed for appeals related to
Planning process. Following consultation with interested departments, all other gen
fees are recommended to remain at current levels,

Proposed rate changes will be presented to Council as separate items at a later date.
SUMMARY
The recommendations contained within this report were assembled in accordance I
state statutes requiring that the City establish fees that are directly related to the cos
providing services. The completion of the David M. Griffith and Associated, LTD, Repor
Fees, Charges and Revenue provided the basis for establishing the relation between costs i
fees. Recommended fees do not exceed the cost of providing the service, although in sc
instances fees are equal to or less than the actual cost. Where necessary, fees were redu
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 servia 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 per
an identified group or individuals to participate in services they might not otherwise
able to afford. Second, although fees are used to recover some City costs, an effort is m
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.
