Page 2
The following objectives for FY 2016-17 were established in line with conservative estimates for future
revenue growth:
• Continue to provide excellent services to our residents.
• Provide adequate staff resources to meet community priorities.
• Allow departments to meet escalating costs by providing a modest 2 percent increase for
maintenance and operations.
• Exercise prudence in budgeting, consider cost containment measures and set discretionary
budgets at minimum levels.
The city's revenue sources see continued strength in the coming fiscal year, bolstered by modest
improvement in the economy, overall, and improvements related to the housing market, specifically
new residential and commercial development and overall appreciation in home prices. Tourism is
projected to continue the improvement seen over the past years, and low vacancy rates and higher
room rates are projected to push transient occupancy tax revenues higher. The overall economic
outlook is for modest improvement, although threats to the economy loom, from slowdowns in oversea
markets that may affect exports to budgetary challenges at the state level.
Stewardship of the city's resources is a core value of our elected officials and staff, and we have
adopted financial policies and standards to ensure that we maintain our fiscal health and make
decisions today that will have positive effects tomorrow. For example, the City Council created an
assignment of funds last year that can be used to address diminished revenues in economic downturns,
mitigating the need for drastic measures, such as reducing service levels and access to public facilities in
recessionary times. City staff continues to monitor local, state and federal economic forecasts and
routinely updates a ten-year forecast for the General Fund in order to gauge the effects of today's
actions on the city's future. The Preliminary Operating Budget assumes that overall General Fund
revenue will increase by approximately 2.9 percent in FY 2016-17 compared to the previous year's
projected revenue.
The Preliminary Operating Budget for FY 2016-17 totals $250.2 million citywide, which represents an
increase of $10 million, or 4.2 percent, as compared to the FY 2015-16 Adopted Budget. Operating
revenues are estimated at $251.1 million, which is an increase of $6.9 million, or 2.8 percent, over the
current year's projections. The recommended General Fund Operating Budget is $141.8 million, with
estimated revenues of $146.2 million. This is a 2.9 percent increase in the estimated General Fund
revenues as compared to the projected FY 2015-16 revenues, and a 4.8 percent increase in General
Fund budgeted expenditures compared to the FY 2015-16 adopted budget.
General Fund Estimated Revenues-The majority of the city's General Fund revenues come from taxes.
In the upcoming year, it is expected that property tax revenue will be approximately $59.2 million. This
is an increase of 4 percent from the revised FY 2015-16 projections. This is based on improving assessed
valuations, as provided by the County Assessor in May 2016.
Sales tax revenues generally move in step with economic conditions and have improved markedly over
the past four years (21.4 percent for FY 2012 to FY 2016}. The city's sales tax base is heavily weighted in
the transportation and retail sectors. New auto sales, which comprise approximately one-quarter of city
sales tax revenue, have exceeded pre-recession levels and hit an all-time high in the last quarter of
Item 17; pg. 2
Page 3
2015. City sales tax revenues are expected to decrease by approximately 2.4 percent, or $800,000 in FY
2016-17, contributing $34.1 million to the General Fund. This temporary decrease is due to lower
anticipated revenues from one of the city's shopping centers, currently in a transition period, as well as
a one-time payment received in the current fiscal period related to the close out of the triple flip. Had it
not been for these two factors, the estimate for FY 2016-17 would have reflected an increase of $1.6
million, versus a decrease of $800,000.
The FY 2016-17 revenues for Transient Occupancy Taxes (TOT) are estimated at $20.8 million, an
increase of 2.8 percent compared to FY 2015-16 estimates. TOT has increased by over 57 percent since
FY 2011-12, as new hotels, such as the Legoland Hotel and the Hilton Cape Rey Carlsbad Resort & Spa,
have opened in the past years.
Franchise taxes are estimated at $5.7 million for FY 2016-17, an increase of 1.1 percent over the FY
2015-16 projections. This increase can be attributed to Consumer Price Index (CPI) growth and
population growth.
This year, FY 2015-16, development-related revenues are estimated at $3.1 million. In FY 2016-17, we
expect an increase of $1.1 million (34.4 percent) as development related activities are on the rise.
General Fund Budgeted Expenditures -The General Fund contains most of the discretionary revenues
that fund basic core city services. The recommended General Fund Operating Budget is $141.8 million,
which represents a $6.5 million, or 4.8 percent, increase as compared to the FY 2015-16 Adopted
Budget. Personnel cost increases of $5.5 million, or 6.7 percent, include additional staff, both short-
term staffing to assist with succession planning and also permanent increases to continue to provide
excellent service to the community. Anticipated increases in health insurance rates, higher retirement
rates as projected by CalPERS, and previously negotiated wage increases are also included in the
increase. Maintenance and Operations increases include department operating requests, funding for
implementation of the city's Climate Action Plan, a 2 percent allowance for overall rising costs, and
other increases for items such as contractual services. A few expenditures are discussed in more detail
below.
Position Changes
A net increase of 2.0 full-time positions and 3.0 limited-term positions, when compared to the FY 2015-
16 Adopted Budget, is reflected in the FY 2016-17 Operating Budget. These position changes resulted in
an approximate citywide personnel increase of $716,000 for the coming year. It should be noted that
some of the eliminated and added positions occurred within the same department as a result of
reorganization efforts to better align staff resources with departmental and citywide priorities. For
example, in Public Works two Street Maintenance Worker ll's were eliminated, and a Senior
Construction Inspector and Climate Action Plan Administrator were added.
The FY 2016-17 Operating Budget includes the elimination of the following 3.0 permanent full-time
positions:
1.0 Park Maintenance Worker II
2.0 Street Maintenance Worker II
Item 17; pg. 3
Page 4
The FY 2016-17 Operating Budget includes the addition of the following 5.0 permanent full-time
positions:
1.0 Climate Action Plan Administrator
1.0 Network Engineer
1.0 Permit Technician
1.0 Public Works Supervisor
1.0 Senior Construction Inspector
The net increase in hourly staff totals 3. 75 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions, as shown below:
1.00 FTE Community and Economic Development
2.75 FTE Public Works
These changes result in a city workforce of 676.25 full and three-quarter time employees, 6.00 limited-
term employees, and 163.26 hourly, full-time equivalent positions.
New Facilities -As the city completes capital projects, the cost of maintaining and operating the
facilities, including additional personnel if necessary, are added to departmental Operating Budgets. No
additional funding was added for completed capital projects.
Capital Outlay -There are several major capital outlay purchases (greater than $10,000} planned in the
General Fund for FY 2016-17:
• 2 Sport Utility Vehicles for Police Community Service Officers ($86,335)
• Body Worn Cameras for Police Officers ($114,812}
• Fire Department Technical Rescue Equipment ($50,000}
• Microfilm/Microfiche Scanner for the Library ($14,548)
• Electric Vehicle Charging Stations ($50,000}
• Facility Access Control Upgrades ($126,600)
• Skip Loader for Public Works ($54,000}
• Vehicles for 2 new positions ($63,450}
Other Budget Requests -The FY 2016-17 Preliminary Operating Budget also includes the following
transfers to other funds:
• $9,460,000 to the Infrastructure Replacement Fund for major maintenance and replacement
of city infrastructure. This represents 6.5 percent of the General Fund Revenues, the same as
the percentage transfer for FY 2015-16.
• $224,000 to the Storm Water Program for reimbursement for the General Fund portion of
Storm Water expenses.
• $500,000 to the Median Maintenance and Street Tree Maintenance Special Revenue Funds to
cover cash shortfalls, as annual assessments collected from property owners do not cover
annual operating expenditures.
• $1,500,000 to the city's Workers' Compensation Fund to cover increased claims settlements
and estimated liability. Item 17; pg. 4
Page 5
Finally, the Contingency is budgeted at just under one percent of the General Fund Operating Budget, or
$1.5 million, for FY 2016-17, which is equal to the FY 2015-16 Contingency Budget. This resource is
available to the City Council to address unanticipated emergencies or unforeseen program needs
throughout the year.
Other Funds -Enterprise Fund revenues, including Water, Wastewater Services and Solid Waste
Management, are projected at $70.5 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 1.8 percent, over current
year projections. The budgeted expenditures are estimated at $71.7 million for FY 2016-17, which is an
increase of $1.4 million, or 1.9 percent, over the FY 2015-16 Adopted Budget. The most significant
change in Water Operations is due to the estimated increase in the cost of water purchased from the
San Diego County Water Authority, anticipated to increase $1 million, or 4.2 percent from current year
estimates. The Operating Budget also includes funding for depreciation replacement transfers related
to growth and aging of the water infrastructure system.
Wastewater operations are projected to remain relatively flat when compared to the FY 2015-16
Adopted Budget.
Golf Course operations are expected to decrease $186,000, or 2.3 percent over FY 2015-16.
Revenues from Special Revenue Funds at $11 million are expected to decrease $700,000 when
compared to FY 2015-16 estimates. While it is not unusual to see Special Revenue funds fluctuate from
year to year, the most significant decreases for FY 2016-17 are anticipated in police grants, Affordable
Housing fees, and in the General Fund transfer to the Median Maintenance Fund. Funding for special
revenue funds includes grants, donations, special fees, and assessments. Revenues do not always match
expenditures in a given year due to timing differences related to the receipt of grant and donation
funding, and the expenditure of those funds.
The budget for the Redevelopment Obligation Retirement Funds (RORF) totals $1.4 million, a slight
increase over the current fiscal year.
More information regarding all of the city's projected revenues and Operating Budget
recommendations can be found in the attached exhibits.
FEES AND CHARGES FOR SERVICES
Each year city staff evaluates and proposes changes to fees and charges for services. A Cost of Service
Study is prepared every two years, and was last prepared in FY 2014-15. The Study is prepared to
ensure that fees and charges for service do not exceed the cost. For FY 2016-17, it is proposed that fees
be adjusted by the one year change in their associated index, unless the change in the index surpassed
the cost of service. In this instance the fee will be set at the cost of service.
Staff has reviewed all of the fee schedules and is recommending the changes as shown in Exhibit 6, City
of Carlsbad Master Fee Schedule, June 2016, and further discussed below.
Item 17; pg. 5
Page 6
Below is a list of the indexes and the fees that are associated with them:

Cal Trans CCI 2.00% 1.94% Traffic Impact Fees
Ambulance Inflation Factor 1.50% -0.40% Ambulance Fees
GENERAL CITY FEES
These are fees charged for the usage of city services and property, such as rentals. These fees are
increased annually by the increase in the annual West Urban Consumer Price Index (CPI) published by
the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, which reflects the cost of inflation. The one year change in the West
Urban CPI is 1.80 percent.
In addition to the annual inflationary increases, the following fee changes are proposed for FY 2016-17:
New Fees:
• Safety Training Center -Confined Space Prop -Full Day $500
• Safety Training Center -Confined Space Prop -Half Day $250
o The fee is modeled after the Reno, NV fee for comparable service, no local cities are
known to provide this service.
• Safety Training Center -PriSim (Training Simulator) -Full Day $500
• Safety Training Center -PriSim (Training Simulator) -Half Day $250
o The PriSim system is a fairly unique training tool that only a handful of other cities have.
The fee is modeled after the average cost of other cities known to provide this service.
• Safety Training Center -Pump Draft Pit -Full Day $400
• Safety Training Center -Pump Draft Pit -Half Day $200
o The Pump Draft Pit is unique and takes up most of the space used for the Grinder, so this
new fee was modeled accordingly.
Increasing Fees:
• Trash collection fees are listed on the Master Fee Schedule, but are a pass through fee from
the vendor, the city currently has a contract for these services with Waste Management.
Item 17; pg. 6
Page 7
These fees are increasing by amount of the contractual increase, which is an average of 1.1
percent for FY 2016-17.
• The Police Parking Violation Storage/Impounded Vehicle Administrative Charge fee is
increasing from $60 to $120. This increase will bring the fee closer to the full cost of service,
which is $123.21. This is still less than other cities charge and would allow the city to recover
the associated costs from providing these services.
• Six of the Safety Training Center Facility Rentals are increasing to single fixed fees, thereby
removing the fee ranges, to simplify the rental fees:
o One Shooting Range -Full Day from $678-$1,102 to $1,100
o One Shooting Range -Half Day from $312-$524 to $550
o Two Shooting Ranges -Full Day from $763-$1,239 to $1,250
o Two Shooting Ranges -Half Day from $401-$645 to $650
o Grinder/Commercial Prop (No Fire Ops) -Full Day from $599 to $600
o Grinder/Residential Prop (No Fire Ops) -Full Day from $599 to $600
Decreasing Fees:
• All ambulance fees decreased by 0.4% to match the decrease in the Ambulance Inflation
Factor.
• Two of the Safety Training Center Facility Rentals are decreasing to reflect approximately half
of the full day rental price, which is $600:
o Grinder/Commercial Prop (No Fire Ops) -Half Day from $327 to $300
o Grinder/Residential Prop (No Fire Ops) -Half Day from $327 to $300
• Police Photography Copy (fee plus reproduction costs) is for subpoenas or records requests
that require photo or video retrieval. The fee is reduced from $45 to $15 to match the cost of
service.
DEVELOPMENT RELATED SERVICE FEES
These are fees charged to recover the cost of staff time and materials spent on development related
activities. FY 2016-17 Development Related Service Fees are increased by an index stated in the
respective resolution or ordinance establishing the fee. An annual review is conducted to ensure that
the fees being charged do not exceed direct and indirect costs of providing the service. The Cost of
Service Study is available from the Finance Department upon request. Other fee changes are discussed
below.
The Community and Economic Development Department (CED) recognized an opportunity to simplify
the city's existing fee structure with the implementation of a new permitting system. CED partnered
with consultants NBS to complete a study of the current fees. Staff in the Building, Planning and Land
Development Engineering departments evaluated their current fee structures to identify areas for
simplification and consolidation. Some of the proposed recommendations include: consolidating
amendments, extensions and revisions across the majority of CED fees; eliminating fees that are no
longer in use or that are nominally different for similar services; and removing itemized fees to align
with best practices in the development community. Separate fees for Redevelopment and Village areas
were consolidated with the existing citywide fee. These recommendations resulted in the removal of
127 fe·es.
Item 17; pg. 7
Page 8
Examples of CED Fee Changes:
Consolidated Fees
• Amendments, extensions and revisions are consolidated to a percentage-based fee
• Appeals are consolidated to a flat fee, regardless of the governing body being appealed to
Eliminated Fees
• Nominally different fees, such as the Administrative Variance for RVs, are eliminated and
processed consistent with all Administrative Variances
• Duplicate Tracing Fees are no longer in use due to the ability to provide documents based on
digital files
Removed Itemized Fees
• Itemized fees for plumbing, mechanical, and electrical work (such as number of outlets} are
replaced with a valuation-based methodology that aligns with the overall permit's scope of work.
For more information, see exhibit 6A, Memo from NBS.
For detail on all removed fees, see exhibit 6B, CED Removed Fees.
Decreased Fees:
• Street Light Energizing fees are being reduced based on the Cost of Service calculation by the
Finance department, which includes induction rate charges from San Diego Gas and Electric.
o 40 Watts from $66 to $65
o 85 Watts from $107to $105
o 100 Watts from $120 to $117
o 150 Watts from $165 to $161
o 250 Watts from $256 to $249
Increased Fees:
• The fee for Lighting and Landscape District #2 Annexation is increasing from $5,400 to $7,400.
This increase is based on the city having an outside consultant prepare a full engineer's report
for each individual annexation instead of a modified report. The fee to the city increased by
$2,000 per annexation in the most recent contract amendment.
• Plumbing, Electrical and Mechanical Permit (not combined with Building Permits} is increasing
from $160 to $166. This is still below the cost of service, which is $220.84.
Fees Adjusted to Cost of Service:
Fees were adjusted according to the change in their associated index, unless the change in the
index surpassed the cost of service. In those cases, the fee was raised only to the cost of service.
All of the below fees are indexed with the West Urban CPI.

DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES
These fees are used to recover the cost that growth will have on city infrastructure. These fees will be
increased by the index stated in the respective resolution or ordinance establishing the fee, typically the
Engineering News Record (ENR) construction cost index.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065, giving a presentation on the Preliminary Operating
Budget does not constitute a "project" within the meaning of CEQA in that it has no potential to cause
either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change
in the environment, and therefore does not require environmental review.

2016-17 PRELIMINARY OPERATING BUDGET OVERVIEW
The Operating Budget for FY 2016-17 totals $250.2 million, with revenues for the year estimated
at $251.1 million. General Fund revenues are estimated at $146.2 million and General Fund
budgeted operating expenditures are $141.8 million.
REVENUE
The following table shows the total operating revenues anticipated to be received by the city for
FY 2015-16, as well as those estimated for FY 2016-17.

Revenue estimates for the Operating Budget indicate that the city will receive a total of $251.1
million in FY 2016-17, a change of about $6.9 million over the projected FY 2015-16 revenues.
General Fund revenues are expected to increase by $4.2 million, compared to the prior year, as
all sources of revenue indicated in the table increase, with the exception of minor decreases in
revenues from sales tax. Special Revenue funds decreased by 5.6 percent, or $700,000, due to
projected decreases in donations, grants and affordable housing revenues. Enterprise Fund
revenues are projected to increase by $1.2 million, driven primarily by increases in potable and
recycled water sales. More information on the city's revenue sources is provided in the following
discussion.
General Fund
General Fund revenues provide a representative picture of the local economy. These revenues
are of particular interest as they fund basic city services, such as Police, Fire, Library and Cultural
Arts, Street and Park Maintenance, and Recreation programs. The following table provides a
summarized outlook for the major General Fund revenues.

Item 17; pg. 12
2016-17 PRELIMINARY OPERATING BUDGET OVERVIEW
General Fund revenues continue to indicate a healthy local economy, as growth continues to be
positive. Almost 80 percent of General Fund revenues are derived from three sources -property
tax, sales tax, and transient occupancy tax (TOT). Sales tax receipts and TOT revenues tend to
be much more sensitive to changes in economic conditions, unlike property tax revenues, which
remain relatively stable because of the mitigating effect of Proposition 13, which limits annual
growth in assessed values. Property tax, the largest source of General Fund revenues, is
expected to grow by 4.0 percent in FY 2016-17 , as assessed values continue to improve. The
median price of a single family residence (SFR) rose by almost 13 percent compared to last year,
from $734,000 to $827,000. According to Corelogic, all four zip codes in Carlsbad saw double
digit rates of growth, with the exception of 92009 (La Costa), which rose slightly less than one
percent. Upward pressure on prices may be, in part, the result of lower housing inventories, as
inventory of homes for sale has dropped by 27 percent in April 2016, compared to the previous
year. Economists continue to predict tightening in the Federal Reserve monetary policy, but
recent economic indicators may cause the Fed to reconsider this tightening in the short term.
Historically low mortgage rates and cheap oil prices may continue to prop up demand for housing,
however.

Fiscal Year
Changes in property taxes revenues lag behind changes in the housing market, as the tax
revenue for the upcoming fiscal year is based on assessed values from January. Thus, the taxes
to be received for FY 2016-17 are based on assessed values as of January 1, 2016.
Proposition 13, adopted in 1978, limits the annual increase in assessed values for property.
Under this proposition, assessed values (and the related property tax) can grow by no more than
two percent per year. The value upon which the tax is based is only increased to the full market
value upon the sale of the property. Thus, property taxes tend to grow slowly unless there is a
significant amount of housing activity. In past decades, the city has seen robust growth in property
tax revenue due to new development, high turnover of existing homes, and double-digit growth in
housing prices.

SALES TAX BY CATEGORY
FOURTH QUARTER 2015
Sales tax revenues
generally move in step with
economic conditions and
have improved markedly
over the past years. Sales
tax for FY 2016-17 is
expected to dip by slightly
less than one percent, due
primarily to the expiration of
the triple flip (see below).
According to information
from the Anderson School at
UCLA, taxable sales in the
state of California are
expected to maintain growth
of slightly more 4 percent for
calendar years 2017 and
2018. Comparing the fourth
quarter of calendar yea r
2015 to the previous year, sales tax cash receipts in the State of California increased by 3.5
percent, bolstered by decreasing unemployment in the state and growth in real personal income.
The City of Carlsbad realized an increase of 1.8 percent in cash receipts for the fourth quarter of
2015. New auto sales, which comprise approximately one-quarter of city sales tax revenue, hit
all-time highs in the fourth quarter of 2015, as did sales tax receipts from restaurants. City sales
tax revenues are expected to contribute $34.1 million to the General Fund in FY 2016-17, making
up 23 percent of the total. The city continues to benefit from recent additions, such as the
Legoland Hotel and Lowe's, which opened in fall 2013, although the city does not forecast many
new retail additions in the coming fiscal year.
Several years ago, the State of California implemented the "Triple Flip." The "Triple Flip" is
essentially a temporary swap of a % cent of the cities' sales taxes in return for property tax. It
was done in order to give the state a revenue source against which they could issue deficit
reduction bonds. The city's sales tax estimates continue to show this amount as sales tax, since
the amount is reflective of what the city would receive.
As can be seen in the chart above, the city's sales tax base is heavily weighted in the
transportation (predominantly new car sales) and retail sectors. These two sectors account for
two-thirds of taxable sales in Carlsbad. New car sales tax revenue dropped precipitously during
the recent recession, falling from $6.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 to a low of $4.4 million
in 2009. In the fourth quarter of 2015, new car sales hit a high of almost $8 million. Sales tax
receipts flattened out in 2015, decreasing by 1. 7 percent in the fourth quarter, compared to the
previous year. This compared with statewide growth of 2.6 percent for the same time period.
Estimates also include approximately $1 million in Proposition 172 funds, which are earmarked
for public safety service expenditures. Proposition 172 requires that the ~ cent increase in
California sales taxes be allocated to local agencies to fund public safety services.

The third highest General Fund
revenue source is Transient
Occupancy Tax (TOT, or hotel
taxes). TOT is forecast to increase
by 2.8 percent in FY 2016-17,
stabilizing at a record high of almost
$21 million. As seen in the
accompanying graph , TOT has
increased by over 80 percent since
FY 2010-11 , as new hotels, such as
the Legoland Hotel and the Hilton
Oceanfront Resort & Spa (recently
renamed Cape Rey Carlsbad, a
Hilton Resort) have opened in the
past years. Despite some
headwinds in the tourism sector from a relatively strong dollar and slowing in overseas
economies, and the San Diego Tourism Authority expects the average room night revenues to
improve by almost 5 percent in both 2017 and 2018. Carlsbad currently has approximately 4,400
hotel rooms and over 1,000 vacation rentals, and continues to benefit from increasing daily room
rates and improving occupancy rates.

•SDG&E
Franchise
Franchise Tax revenue has
stabilized over the past
years and is projected at
$5.7 million in FY 2016-17.
Franchise taxes are paid by
certain industries that use
the city right-of-way to
conduct their business. The
city currently has franchise
agreements for cable TV
service , solid waste
services, cell sites, fiber
optic antenna systems and
gas and electric services.
The cable and solid waste
franchises experienced
minor revenue increases
that mirror growth in population and changes in rate structures. Franchise tax revenues are
expected to increase by about 1 percent in the coming year, due to high energy demands resulting
from a warm summer.
SDG&E pays franchise taxes for the use of the public land over wh ich they transport gas and
electricity. The city also receives an "in-lieu" franchise tax based on the value of gas and electricity
transported on SDG&E lines, but purchased from another source. The "in-lieu" tax captures the
franchise taxes on gas and electricity that is transported using public lands but which would not
otherwise be included in the calculations for franchise taxes, due to deregulation of the power
industry. The majority of the "in-lieu " taxes received is attributable to Cabrillo Power, the operator
of the Encina power plant, and is based on the gas used in the generation of electricity. As
mentioned previously, electricity demand was unusually high in the current year, but is expected
to stabilize at a lower rate for the coming decade.
Item 17; pg. 15
2016-17 PRELIMINARY OPERATING BUDGET OVERVIEW
Development-related revenues are derived from fees for planning, engineering and building
permits, and fees paid by developers to cover the cost of reviewing and monitoring development
activities, such as plan checks and inspections. These revenues are difficult to predict, as many
of the planning and engineering activities occur months or years before any actual development.
During FY 2009-10, development-related revenues began to turn around from historic lows
experienced in FY 2008-09. During FY 2010-11, this revenue source continued to strengthen,
especially on the non-residential side, with the permitting of the new Isis Pharmaceuticals
headquarters and the Hilton Beachfront Hotel. Development-related revenues have fluctuated in
the past years in line with increases and decreases in residential, commercial and industrial
development. In FY 2012-13, revenues rose from $2.7 million to $3 million, following a marked
increase in commercial space permitted. In FY 2016-17, the city expects a 34 percent increase
in development related revenues, to approximately $4.2 million. An additional 755 residential
units are expected to be added in the coming fiscal year, compared to 292 in the current year.
Coupled with an estimated addition of over 600,000 square feet of non-residential space, this is
driving strong expectations for development related revenues in the coming year.
Business license taxes are closely tied to the health of the local economy, and are projected to
increase by 3 percent to an estimated $4.5 million in FY 2016-17. There are currently about 9,500
licensed businesses in Carlsbad, with just under 2,500 of them home-based.
All other revenues include transfer taxes, interest earnings, ambulance fees, recreation fees,
and other charges and fees. The estimate for FY 2016-17 totals $17.6 million, an $800,000, or 5
percent, increase from the previous year, primarily due to projected improvements in ambulance
fee revenues.
Interdepartmental charges, estimated at $3.3 million, are generated through engineering
services charged to capital projects, reimbursed work from other funds and miscellaneous
interdepartmental expenses charged to funds outside the General Fund for services performed
by departments within the General Fund.
Transfer taxes are those taxes paid to the county upon the transfer of interests in real estate.
The tax is $1.10 per $1,000 of property value, split equally between the county and the city.
Carlsbad expects to receive approximately $1.1 million in transfer taxes for FY 2016-17, which is
essentially unchanged from FY 2015-16. Housing prices are continuing to increase in Carlsbad,
but inventories remain low. Economists continue to predict multiple increases in the Fed discount
rate; this could increase historically low mortgage interest rates, which could put some downward
pressure on transfers. Income from investments and property includes interest earnings, as well
as rental income from city-owned land and facilities. The city is expected to earn about $2.1
million in interest on its General Fund investments for Fiscal Year 2016-17, as the yield on the
city's portfolio is expected to improve modestly to about 1.25 percent and cash balances grow.

Overall, as reflected in the bar chart, General Fund revenues are expected to be up 2.9 percent
from FY 2015-16, as the city experiences growth all revenues, except sales tax, which is projected
to have a modest decrease. Although the city experienced revenue growth between 9 and 17
percent in the late 1990's, it was not sustainable. Much of those increases were due to the
opening of new hotels, restaurants, retail centers, and new home development. As new
development slows, it will be increasingly more difficult to produce double-digit growth in
revenues. An improving economy is certainly driving General Fund revenues higher, but revenue
growth should stabilize at around 4 percent in the coming years.
The City has a General Fund reserve policy that sets a minimum reserve of 30 percent of the
General Fund Operating Expenditures. In addition, the policy sets a target reserve of 40 percent
to 50 percent of General Fund Operating Expenditures. The minimum reserve would provide
approximately three to four months of operating expenditures for unforeseen emergencies. At
the end of FY 2015-16, the unassigned General Fund balance is projected to be approximately
$88 million. At the end of FY 2016-17, the reserve is projected to be approximately $80 million,
assuming the city pays off an outstanding debt issue. This projected unassigned fund balance
will represent a 56 percent reserve. The reserve amount is consistent with Council Policy 74:
General Fund Reserve Guidelines. More information about the city's financial policies are located
in the "Budget Highlights-Section A" of this document.
Other Funds
Revenues from Special Revenue funds are expected to total $11 million in FY 2016-17, a
decrease of over 6 percent from FY 2015-16. The types of programs supported within Special
Revenue funds are those funded by specific revenue streams such as:
• Grants (Rental Assistance-Section 8 and Community Development Block Grants)
• Special fees and assessments (Affordable Housing and Maintenance Assessment Districts)
• Donations (Library, Cultural Arts, Recreation and Senior Donations)

The most noteworthy changes in the Special Revenue funds occurred in the Affordable Housing

can fluctuate significantly from year-to-year. Police Grant revenues decreased $342 ,000; grants
are generally one-time revenues and fluctuate from year-to-year as well.
Enterprise fund revenues for FY 2016-17 are projected at $70.5 million, an increase of $1 .2

Enterprise funds are similar to a business, in that rates are charged to support the operations that
supply the service. Carlsbad Enterprise funds include water and recycled water delivery,
wastewater services, solid waste management, and operation of a golf course. In addition to
Item 17; pg. 18
2016-17 PRELIMINARY OPERATING BUDGET OVERVIEW
paying for the wholesale and fixed water costs, the FY 2016-17 Operating Budget includes
funding for replacement of Carlsbad's water infrastructure, ongoing meter replacements, and
building sufficient operating reserves.
The Water Enterprise Fund revenue is estimated at $47.2 million, an increase of $2.3 million, or
5 percent over the current year estimate. Revenue from water sales is expected to increase
substantially, because of the increases paid to the San Diego County Water Authority. Proposed
rate increases for the upcoming fiscal year will be presented in the fall of this year pending results
from a cost of service analysis currently underway.
Estimated revenues for Wastewater are $12.8 million; no change from the current year estimate.
Estimated revenues for the Golf Course are expected to decrease by 14 percent next year, due
to a forecast from revenue received from the General Fund to cover debt service. The preliminary
budget assumes that outstanding bonds will be paid off in the coming fiscal year. Revenues from
operations at the Golf Course will increase by one percent.
Internal Service funds show estimated revenues of $21.6 million for FY 2016-17, a 10 percent
increase over FY 2015-16 projections. An actuarial review of the Workers' Compensation fund
indicates that it has insufficient cash balances to meet future claims, due primarily to increasing
claims over the past years. In order to remedy this, the proposed budget increases charges to
city departments by 15 percent in the coming years and transfers funds from the General Fund to
stabilize the Workers' Compensation fund.
There are also increases in Vehicle Maintenance and Information Technology {IT) charges of
9 percent and 11 percent, respectively. Vehicle Maintenance revenues increase in the coming
year due to unusually low fuel costs in the current year and fluctuates from year to year. IT
charges to departments are increasing due to improvements to the city network and costs
associated with new hardware and software. IT charges will continue to increase in the coming
years as the city addresses aging IT infrastructure and moves to more innovative solutions for
business practices.
Internal Service funds account for services provided within the City itself, from one department to
another, on a cost reimbursement basis. These include programs such as the self-insurance
funds for Workers' Compensation and General Liability (Risk Management), as well as Vehicle
Maintenance and Replacement, and Information Technology. Departments pay for these
services; therefore, the rates charged are based on the cost to provide the service. The goal of
an Internal Service fund is to match budgeted expenses with charges to the departments.
The Redevelopment Obligation Retirement Fund {RORF) revenues are budgeted at $1.8
million, $205,000 higher than FY 2015-16 estimates. Although the Redevelopment Agency has
been dissolved, the California Department of Finance has approved the repayment of the
approximately $8.1 million (plus accrued interest) loaned to both former redevelopment areas by
the General Fund. Loan payments of approximately $1 million per year will be made to the city,
and 20 percent of this repayment will be set aside for future affordable housing.
Item 17; pg. 19
2016-17 PRELIMINARY OPERATING BUDGET OVERVIEW
EXPENDITURES
The city's Operating Budget for FY 2016-17 totals $250.2 million, which
represents an increase of about $10 million, or 4.2 percent, as compared to
the adopted FY 2015-16 Budget. The changes in each of the city's
programs will be discussed below.
Budgetary Policies
The theme behind this year's budget development was for the city to continue to provide the very
best services to the community while finding operating efficiencies, reducing costs wherever
possible, and planning for the future. The goal was to achieve a balanced budget for the coming
fiscal year while still maintaining the city's long-term financial health and ensuring that future
costs can be met without negatively impacting the services provided to the community. All known
and ongoing operating expenses were incorporated in the FY 2016-17 Preliminary Operating
Budget, as well as in the long-term financial forecast.
Responsible management of the city's resources includes maintaining a focus on a sustainable
future by ensuring the city remains in good financial health, as today's decisions will impact future
spending levels. Although the city is entering the new fiscal year in a solid financial position, the
city will pursue allocating resources in a manner that provides the best services for the people of
Carlsbad. The following policies for FY 2016-17 were established in line with conservative
estimates for future revenue growth:
• Continue to provide excellent services to our residents.
• Increase in the number of staff positions were allowed in instances where community
priorities would be served. In addition, increases were allowed for short-term staffing
needs to assist with succession planning while maintaining high levels of service.
• Modest growth (2 percent) was allowed for maintenance and operations in order to allow
departments to meet escalating costs.
• Increases were considered for new initiatives where community priorities would be
served, and for implementation of legal mandates, such as the Climate Action Plan.
• All departments exercised prudence in budgeting, considered cost containment
measures, and set discretionary budgets at minimum levels.
The city uses an "Expenditure Control Budget" (ECB) process in budgeting, where each
department is given a block appropriation containing sufficient funds to provide the current level
of services for the upcoming year. For FY 2016-17, departments were allowed a 2 percent
increase, if needed, for maintenance & operations (M&O) costs. As a result of the economic
recession, block budgets were reduced in both FY 2008-09 and FY 2009-10 in order to align
expenses with falling revenues. In order to gain further operating efficiencies, the city's
organizational structure was realigned in FY 2010-11. Since the beginning of the recession, the
city has eliminated 38 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions in order to contain costs. In the FY
2016-17 budget, there is a net increase of 2.0 full-time equivalent positions, and 3.0 limited-term
positions. No additional appropriations are expected during the fiscal year, except in the case
of significant unanticipated events. As in past years, amounts that are unspent at the end of the
fiscal year will be carried forward to the next year, or will increase the city's reserves. At the end
of FY 2015-16, the amounts carried forward by each department will be capped at no more than
10 percent of the previous year's Adopted Budget. Departments are allowed to request
additional carry forward amounts from remaining unspent funds for special one-time projects as
well as items funded in FY 2015-16 which are planned for completion in FY 2016-17.
Item 17; pg. 20
2016-17 PRELIMINARY OPERATING BUDGET OVERVIEW
Budgeted Expenditures
Through the application of these guidelines and policies, the FY 2016-17 Operating Budget of
$250.2 million was developed.
Position Changes
A net increase of 2.0 full-time positions and 3.0 limited-term positions, when compared to the FY
2015-16 Adopted Budget, is reflected in the FY 2016-17 Operating Budget. These position
changes resulted in an approximate citywide personnel increase of $716, 132 for the coming
year.
The FY 2016-17 Operating Budget includes the elimination of the following 3.0 permanent full-
time positions:
1.0 Park Maintenance Worker II
2.0 Street Maintenance Worker II
The FY 2016-17 Operating Budget includes the addition of the following 5.0 permanent full-time
positions:
1.0 Climate Action Plan Administrator
1.0 Network Engineer
1.0 Permit Technician
1.0 Public Works Supervisor
1.0 Senior Construction Inspector
The net increase in hourly staff totals 3.25 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions, as shown below:
0.50 FTE Community and Economic Development
2.75 FTE Public Works
These changes result in a city workforce of 676.25 full and three-quarter time employees, 6.75
limited-term employees, and 162.76 hourly, full-time equivalent positions.
New Facilities
The city has a number of major capital projects scheduled to be built over the next five years.
As the city completes these projects, the costs of maintaining and operating the facilities,
including additional personnel if necessary, are added to departmental operating budgets. There
are no new facilities expected to open in FY 2016-17.
New Programs
The FY 2016-17 Operating Budget includes $1 million for implementation of the city's Climate
Action Plan (CAP), a new program approved by the City Council in September 2015 with
approval of the General Plan Update. The CAP contains various measures that, when
implemented, are intended to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within Carlsbad in
accordance with State of California emissions reductions targets. Each of these measures has
specific actions that the city needs to complete, such as adopting ordinances, preparing plans
and conducting public outreach and stakeholder involvement.

General Fund
The total Operating Budget for the General Fund for FY 2016-17 is $141.8 million, which is 4.8
percent greater than the previous year's Adopted Budget of $135.3 million. The total increase is
attributable to a $5.5 million (6.7 percent) increase in Personnel, a $2.9 million (7.3 percent)
increase in Maintenance & Operations costs, and a $1.5 million overall decrease in Capital
Outlay, as can be seen in the table above. Transfers to other funds decreased $400,000, or 3.2
percent. These changes are discussed in more detail below.
Personnel costs make up approximately 62 percent of the General Fund budget, so any
changes in these costs can have a significant effect on the total budget. The total personnel
budget for FY 2016-17 is $87.7 million, which is $5.5 million, or 6.7 percent greater than the
previous year's total personnel budget of $82.2 million.

The table above shows the breakdown of personnel costs for the General Fund. Salaries include
full and part-time staff costs and are expected to increase in FY 2016-17 by $2.7 million, or 4.7
percent. The increase is mainly due to previously negotiated wage increases scheduled to occur
in FY 2016-17, as well as the net addition of 2.0 full-time staff, 3.0 limited-term and 3.25 part-
time staff.
Retirement rates as projected by Cal PERS will increase in FY 2016-17 to 28.86 percent of payroll
for General and Management employees, representing a 6 percent increase, while the
contribution for Safety employees will increase by almost 10 percent to 40.58 percent of
payroll. These rate increases for the city will result in an increase of approximately $1.7 million
for the General Fund in FY 2016-17. These increases are part of a five-year planned increase
in pension costs that is expected to help address large unfunded pension liabilities.
Health insurance costs are up 6.0 percent, and Workers' Compensation expense is projected to
increase 16.4 percent due to increasing liability estimates and settlements. Miscellaneous other
personnel costs, such as bi-lingual pay, are projected to decrease by $100,000, or 4.2 percent
in FY 2016-17.
Departments with part-time hourly employees were given a 1.5 percent increase. The annual
impact of the adjustments was estimated at $80,000.
Maintenance and Operations costs (or M&O) represent about 30 percent of the total General
Fund budget, and include the budgets for all program expenses other than personnel, capital
outlay and transfers. Overall, total M&O costs are projected at $42.1 million, an increase of
about $2.9 million, or 7.3 percent, for FY 2016-17 as compared to FY 2015-16. Maintenance &
Operations costs are discussed more fully by program later in the report.
Capital Outlay includes budgeted equipment purchases over $1,000. Capital outlay purchases
of $329,000 million are budgeted in the General Fund for FY 2016-17. The complete list listed
of proposed capital purchases is shown on page J-1.
Transfers are amounts anticipated to be transferred from the General Fund to another city fund.
The transfers included in the adopted budget are as follows:
• $9,460,000 to the· Infrastructure Replacement Fund for major maintenance and
replacement of city infrastructure. This represents 6.5 percent of the General Fund
Revenues, the same as the percentage transfer for FY 2015-16.
• $224,000 to the Storm Water Program for reimbursement for the General Fund portion
of Storm Water expenses.
Item 17; pg. 23
2016-17 PRELIMINARY OPERATING BUDGET OVERVIEW
• $500,000 to the Median Maintenance and Street Tree Maintenance Special Revenue
Funds to cover cash shortfalls, as annual assessments collected from property owners
do not cover annual operating expenditures.
• $1,500,000 to the city's Workers' Compensation Fund to cover increased claims
settlements and estimated liability.
Advances are amounts anticipated to be transferred from the General Fund to other city funds
and are expected to be repaid to the General Fund in future years. No General Fund advances
are included in this year's Operating Budget.
Another way of looking at the General Fund budget is by program. The chart below compares

As reflected in the chart above, the city's expenditures were reduced significantly with the City
Council's revised budget in FY 2008-09, and expenditure increases were kept at bay through FY
2012-13. FY 2013-14 expenditures reflected a 10.8 percent increase due to labor costs and
one-time expense for the Poinsettia Fires. The following year, FY 2014-15, estimated
expenditures remained relatively flat. The FY 2015-16 estimated budget reflects an 8.2 percent
increase in expenditures due primarily to increased personnel costs, and the FY 2016-17 budget
is planned with a 4.8 percent increase.
Changes in Other Funds
Special Revenue funds , at $1 1.4 million , show a $253 ,000 (2 .2 percent) decrease when
compared to FY 2015-16. Budgeted expenditures from the Local Cable Infrastructure Fund are
decreasing by $290,000, while increases are noted in the Rental Assistance program , and the
Buena Vista Channel Maintenance.
Enterprise funds total $71 .7 million , an increase of $1.4 million , or 1.9 percent, over the FY
2015-16 Adopted Budget. The most significant increases are in Water Operations, at about $1 .1
million, and are attributed to increases in the cost of water purchased from the San Diego County
Water Authority (4.2 percent increase in fixed charges and variable costs combined). The
Operating Budget also includes funding for depreciation replacement transfers related to growth
and aging of the water infrastructure system.
Wastewater operations are projected to remain relatively flat.
Golf Course operations are expected to decrease slightly, $200,000, or 2.3 percent over FY
2015-16, with slight reductions in most cost centers.
Item 17; pg. 27
2016-17 PRELIMINARY OPERATING BUDGET OVERVIEW
The Internal Service funds total $23.9 million, with an increase of $2.3 million, or 10.6 percent
over FY 2015-16. Significant changes are outlined below.
• The Workers' Compensation budget is anticipated to increase $1 million due to
increased claims and settlements.
• The General Liability/Risk Management budget reflects a very modest increase of
approximately $28,000, or 1.4 percent. A 0.50 full-time position was added to this
department to accommodate actual workload. Decreases in negotiated premiums
partially offset the increase in personnel costs.
• The Self-Insured Benefits budget shows a decrease of approximately $35,000, or 3.2
percent, due to a decrease in the annual Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB)
payment for retiree health care.
• The Vehicle Replacement budget shows a minor increase of $89,000, or 2.5 percent.
There are 50 planned vehicle replacements in the upcoming year, at a total cost of $3.6
million.
• The Vehicle Maintenance costs are expected to decrease approximately $170,000, or
5.1 percent, due to reductions in gas and oil as well as overall maintenance costs.
Replacement of vehicles lagged for several years and are now occurring at a more
accelerated rate. The overall fleet composition is newer in overall age and also includes
more fuel efficient vehicles, which should result in a reduction in fuel and maintenance
costs.
• The Information Technology budget includes both operating and replacement
expenditures. The overall increase is $1.3 million, or 15.8 percent. While replacement
of assets increased about $250,000, the bulk of the overall increase is in the department's
operating budget. Funding is included for one full-time Network Engineer and temporary
contractual staffing in the Business Intelligence division to assist with data reporting
needs of the organization. The department is anticipating about $700,000 in increases
for software maintenance and contractual services for both existing and new technology
projects.
• The budget for the Redevelopment Obligation Retirement Funds (RORF) has
remained flat, when compared to the previous year. The Recognized Obligation
Payments Schedule (ROPS) identifies financial commitments of the former
Redevelopment Agency, including $250,000 in administrative costs, to be paid from
semi-annual tax increment revenue received by the Successor Agency and annual debt
service requirements. Every six months a new ROPS must be prepared and approved
by the Oversight Board, the County of San Diego and the State of California in order to
receive additional tax increment.
SUMMARY
The Operating Budget for FY 2016-17 provides a balanced budget for the coming fiscal year
while continuing with a long-term plan to sustain a balanced budget in future years. Significant
ongoing operating expenses were identified and incorporated in the FY 2016-17 proposed
spending plan to ensure ongoing financial obligations of the city are met. The Carlsbad economy
is well diversified and continues to provide stability to the city's revenue base, bolstered by strong
assessed property values, retail sales, tourism and, in the coming few years, development
activity. Most of the city's major revenue sources are improving with the exception of sales tax,
which is due to a timing difference in receipts due to the wind down of the state's Triple Flip.
Item 17; pg. 28
2016-17 PRELIMINARY OPERATING BUDGET OVERVIEW
Carlsbad continues to benefit form a strong and diverse economic base, and has maintained
financial policies that continue to protect the city from the vagaries of the business cycle,
increasing costs, and unfunded mandates. The city continues to evaluate opportunities to
strengthen financial policies, identify opportunities to improve business practices and provide the
greatest service level possible with finite resources, and continue to provide an environment that
fosters excellence.
The City of Carlsbad is entering the new fiscal year in a solid financial position and focused on
the future. Careful planning and responsible management have allowed the city to not only
maintain core services, but to also move ahead on community projects and other investments
that contribute to an excellent quality of life in our community. Promoting a strong local economy
and bringing more jobs to the city is a top priority. Due to continued fiscally conservative
practices, the city is in an excellent position to take advantage of new economic opportunities
that will allow our community to thrive now and for many years in the future.

To: Mike Peterson, Development Services Manager, City of Carlsbad
From: Nicole Kissam, Director of Financial Consulting, NBS
Date: March 31, 2016
Re: Review of Existing Fee Structures
In anticipation of implementing a new permitting software system, the City of Carlsbad's Community and
Economic Development Department is looking to simplify, within their list of existing User and Regulatory
Fees, fee items that are redundant, overly itemized, or inconsistent with practices of similarly sized
California communities. In 2015, NBS worked with the Department to research and recommend
opportunities for fee structure simplification, as well as some secondary opportunities for improvement in
the ways that fees for services could be charged to more be consistent with Best Management Practices
of other neighboring cities. On August 26, 2015, NBS issued a Memorandum summarizing a list of
opportunities for the Department to consider. The Department subsequently reviewed all
recommendations and asked NBS to further assist in finalizing and supporting the selected opportunities
they would like to move forward with at this time.
1. Project Approach
The Scope of this Review included existing User and/or Regulatory fees for service charged by the City's
Planning, Engineering, Building, and Fire Prevention divisions. These types of fees for service are typically
charged for development application submittal and review, plan check, inspection and permitting activities.
They represent cost recovery opportunities entirely within the City's control: revenues which the City
Council may -at its sole discretion upon public hearing -implement and/or modify without further public
process or approval. The City does not have to conduct a Proposition 218 process to impose these fees,
nor are they covered by the strict guidelines of the Mitigation Fee Act.
User Fees are charges imposed by the City for a service provided or required due to the request or action
of an individual/entity, while Regulatory Fees are those imposed to recover costs associated with the City's
power to govern certain activities. In most cases, the only legal limitation on the establishment of these
fees is that they may not exceed the estimated and reasonable costs incurred to provide the service as
requested or required.
In 2015, the City provided NBS with the following information to support research and recommendation:
• List of current fees charged by the Planning, Engineering, Building, and Fire divisions
• Four (4) fiscal year history of revenue by major fee category for each division
• Interviews with City staff from each division to gather ideas regarding opportunities for fee
structure simplification.
• Documentation regarding the City's last internal fee study from Fiscal Year 2012-13
NBS reviewed this information and also conducted a comparative review of fees from the following California
communities: Oceanside, San Marcos, Vista, Escondido, Riverside, Santa Monica, Newport Beach, and Santa
Barbara. For a complete narrative of results regarding NBS' efforts in this area, please consult the August 26,
2015 Memorandum issued for this phase of the project. In general, significant opportunities were identified for
simplifying the number of fee categories in Planning, Engineering, and Building. Fire Prevention was

recommended to explore a full scale fee analysis in order to comprehensively update their list of fees to more
accurately align with how services are provided.
It should be noted that the approach to recommendations for elimination or consolidation of fee categories
did not include a comprehensive cost analysis. NBS did not review or attempt to validate whether the City
of Carlsbad's existing fee amounts are calibrated to recover more or less than the estimated and
reasonable costs of providing each service, as required by the State's Government Code. NBS also did
not do an in depth analysis of whether Carlsbad's existing fee amounts are more or less than the fees
charged by comparison cities, though some minor comments and observations were provided to that
affect. ·
Carlsbad has routinely updated its own cost of service calculations related to fees for service using a third
party software purchased many years ago. The focus of the research and recommendations provided by
NBS relied heavily on the City's documentation of their last internal fee study from Fiscal Year 2012-13.
This information provides proof that Carlsbad's existing fee amounts were based on an analysis of the
costs of providing services. Because the City was familiar with the basic steps and industry standard
methodology of calculating and administering User and Regulatory fees, NBS' opinion is that the current
fee amounts charged by the City are reasonably calibrated to the cost of providing services, even if the
last comprehensive study performed by the City internally is several years old. While the City is due for a
comprehensive study which would "refresh" all underlying data assumptions, the Fiscal Year 2012-13
information allowed NBS to recommend fee simplification strategies that would not exceed the original
cost of service calculations that supported adoption of existing fee amounts. The City has expressed the
desire to conduct a full fee analysis of all development related fees once there is sufficient data to perform
such an analysis using the new permitting system.
2. Planning Fees
The August 26, 2015 Memorandum from NBS identified a multitude of opportunities for simplification of
Planning's application and permit processing fees. The most significant changes selected by the division
as viable without a more comprehensive fee study were in eliminating specific fee categories for
redevelopment areas that no longer exist, and combining fees related to project amendments, revisions,
and extensions into one fee category rather than multiple individual subcategories. In addition, several
other types of fee categories were combined or eliminated. Please see Attachment A to this report for a
summary of recommended changes. The Attachment includes a display of the cost of service calculation
results from Fiscal Year 2012-13 (where available), as compared to existing fees charged. A summary of
recommendations and updated fee amounts are also provided.
3. Engineering Fees
The August 26, 2015 Memorandum from NBS identified a multitude of opportunities for simplification of
Engineering's application and permit processing fees. However, unlike Planning fees, most changes
recommended to Engineering fees would require more analysis and data gathering to implement. Plan
review and permitting fees for improvements, landscaping review, and grading are areas where NBS
recommends additional study when the City is ready to comprehensively update development fees. As an
interim update, the division selected six deletions and/or changes to move forward with at this time. Please
see Attachment B to this report for a summary of recommended changes. The Attachment includes a
display of the cost of service calculation results from Fiscal Year 2012-13 (where available), as compared
to existing fees charged. A summary of recommendations and updated fee amounts are also provided.
4. Building Fees
There are currently two industry standard methods to calculating building permit and plan check fees for new
construction, additions, remodels and many types of minor projects. Carlsbad uses what is commonly termed
as the "project-value" method. This method is simple in its structure for most types of building permit and plan
check applications, and is the City's preference as a structure going forward. The largest opportunity noted by

2 Item 17; pg. 64
NBS for simplification, however, is in the area of plumbing, mechanical, and electrical (PME) permits. The City's
current fee structure includes a lengthy list of individual scope of work items (e.g.-number of outlets, number of
drains, number of sewers) that require tallying up when connected with a building permit. PME permits are also
issued on a stand-alone basis (not tied to other valuation-based work), such as in the case of a residential water
heater permit.
NBS supported the Building Division's direction toward streamlining permit fees and reducing or eliminating the
number of itemized PME permits on the fee schedule. The Division took their own steps to provide a simplified
structure and recommended fee amount for PME permits that are not associated with building permits. Please
consult their staff report for more information.
NBS provided further analytical assistance in providing a separate fee structure for plumbing, mechanical and
electrical work associated with valuation-based building permit projects. The goal of this effort was to eliminate
the need to tally individual scope of work items across the existing lengthy list of fees. NBS looked at a 5-year
history of fees charged by the department as correlated to each building permit's construction value and created
a table which mirrors the current fee schedule "scale" utilized for establishing permit and plan check fees for
service.
Please see Attachment C to this report for a summary of recommended fee amounts for various project
sizes. Essentially, the City would begin charging the median fee amounts listed for each tier as flat fees
for service, as based on historical revenue information. This approach assumes the City's existing fee
structure is reflective of the cost of providing services, as discussed in the Project Approach section above.
NBS recommends adoption of this fee table as an interim strategy until the City is ready to perform a more.
comprehensive analysis. This change in fee structure greatly simplifies the existing approach to
determining trade fees associated with building permits, and will save a significant amount of time required
for intake and processing of projects.
5. Fire Fees
City staff would also like to explore a full scale analysis of Fire fees to more accurately reflect staff timing
and resources necessary to fulfill the division's business capabilities and government regulations. This
analysis is currently underway and targeted for Council review in summer of 2016.
6. Conclusion
A fundamental purpose of the fee schedule is to provide clarity and transparency to the public and to staff
regarding fees imposed by the City. Once adopted by the Council, the fee schedule is the final word on
the amount and manner in which fees should be imposed by the departments. Old fee schedules should
be superseded by the new master document.
NBS provided a detailed review of existing data supporting Carlsbad's current fee structures, consulted
with City staff, reviewed similar fee structures in comparison agencies, and provided recommendations for
consideration by the City to simplify or eliminate fee categories. City staff reviewed and selected the most
viable opportunities that would support a smoother implementation process for the new software
application. The recommendations solidified in this Memorandum and discussed in the City's staff report
are intended as an interim update to the City's fee structure. The City wishes to utilize the new permitting
software to better track efforts and workload for various fee items and perform a more comprehensive
analysis of all fees in the near future.
It is worth acknowledging the path that fees in general have taken in California. The public demands ever
more precise and equitable accounting of the basis for governmental fees and a greater say in when and
how they are imposed. It is inevitable in the not too distant future that user fees and regulatory fees will
demand an even greater level of analysis and supporting data to meet the public's evolving expectations.
Technology systems will play an increased and significant role in an agency's ability to accomplish this.
Continuous improvement and refinement of time tracking abilities will greatly enhance the City's ability to
set fees for service and identify unfunded activities in years to come.
