Resolution No. 07-8� , approving the annual adjustment to Development Services
fees for service tablcs within the Comprehensive Cost of Services Study.
Executive Summary:
In April of 2003, the City Council contracted with Zuckcr Systems to conduct a comprehensive
cost of services study (a nexus study). The result of this effort was the adoption of the City's �irst
full-cost based fee schedule and an ongoing mechanism to assess the cost of City services and to
adjust fees accordingly. Zucker Systems developed a fee study model in an Excel format that
allows staff to update the model annually to reflect changes due to labor effort and costs
associated with the provision of fee-related services that fluctuate overtime.
The City of Palm Desert's Finance Department used this Cost of Service Study model to review
and adjust costs of providing plan check and inspection services for all construction projects. �rhe
purpose of the Cost of Service Study is to calculate the amount that should be charged in order to
recover the costs associated with each development service and to ensure that fees recover only
costs reasonably borne, as mandated by State Law. Annual reviews and adjustments are an
efficient way of keeping fees in line�vith costs.
1
Previous Action:
The Development Services Fees has been updated annually by Resolution of the City Council.
The latest update was approved on December 14, 2006, which became effective on February 14,
2007.
Discussion•
The California Law allows municipalities to recover the "cost reasonably borne" for all services
provided to individual who receives the benefit, and not society as a whole. To maintain and/or
improve the level of services to the public and to recover the appropriate cost for the General
Fund, staff used the FY 2005/2006 actual expenditure to update the model. The proposed fees
reflect the new salary scale approved by the City Council during Fiscal Year 2005 - 2006,
including changes in benefit rates, allowable supplies and material, internal overhead, and
indirect external costs as applicable.
The proposed fees were distributed to the appropriate City departments for several reviews.
During the reviews, staff was asked to review the fees and identify (1) any fees imposed for
services that are no longer provided; (2) any services the department provides for which a fee is
not currently imposed; (3) any fees that we can not adjust based on FY 2005-2006 actual
expenditures. In a final discussion, staff took into consideration of the following in evaluating
and determining the proposed new fees and adjust►nents to the existing ones:
• Services and activities appropriate for the development fee structure were identified.
• Eliminated any fees imposed that are no longer provided.
• Set up new and or combined service fees as recommended by departments.
• Overtime-billable rates were established for review and/or inspection outside normal
business hours.
Brief Summary of chanQes for Public Works,PlanninQ, BuildinQ& Safety,and Fire Fees:
Public Works Fee: Staff used the average time for various types of permits as a base to calculate
the proposed flat fee. Flat fee refers to a fixed fee. It is intended to represent the average cost of
processing a specific project. Some flat fees are adjusted up; others are adjusted down, due to the
I�igher billable rates, the average actual time, and the following reasons:
* Subdivisions Fntitlement (Tentative I'arccl Maps/ Tentative Tracts), and I,ot Line
Adjustment fees are consolidated to Planning Fees because they are being collected by Planning
Department.
* Faithful Performance Bonds, and Labor and Materials Bond plan check fees were
eliminated.
* Plan Check service fees were eliminated for items such as Residential and Commercial
Driveways, Curbs and Gutters, Excavation, and Residential Driveway Approach, resulting in a
significant decrease in Service Fees.
* Traffic Counts Per Day fee, Oversize Load fee, and Valet Parking inspection fee are
eliminated.
2
* The calculation of Curbs and Gutters Inspection fee was changed from 300 linear feet
to 100 linear feet to reflect the actual cost incurred per hour.
* Commercial Driveway inspection fee was less than previous year due to the decrease
of actual inspection time.
* Residential Curb Core / Drain inspection, and Utility Cut inspection services were
provided by Public Works but fees were not previously imposed, staff added these new ite►ns in
the proposed fee schedule.
* PM 10 Plan Check and Inspection fee was lower due to the required actual time for the
work is being improved.
* Fees that cannot be adjusted based on FY2005-2006 actual expenditures were Impact
Fees. Traffic Signalization Impact, Drainage Impact, and Park Impact fees, which will remain the
same, based upon current Ciry Ordinance. If Council wishes to make any future fee adjustments
regarding the above impact fees, a nexus study is required in order to justify any fee increase.
PlanninQ Fee:
Majority of Planning projects can not be based on a flat fee due to the amount of time spent for
certain planning services could vary significantly from case to case. Flat fees do not account for
the differences in time spent on larger projects versus small projects; thus, most of the planning
fees are based on a Trust Deposit Case. The cost of services is reflected through tracking staff
time spent on a project and billing against a deposit accordingly. For projects subject to Trust
Deposit Fees, a deposit shall be paid at the ti►ne of project or application submittal, and the City
will charge all the cost of City Staff, Consultants, or contract services and require the applicant to
enter into a contract with the City agreeing to pay these costs in advance of the service being
provided. The amounts that showed on the proposed Planning Fee Schedule for Trust Deposit
Cases were the initial deposit amounts. In the event the trust deposit exceeds the actual costs
incurred for a particular application, the City will refund the surplus. If, conversely, the actual
costs exceed the amount on deposit, The City shall notify the applicant that additional funds are
required to replenish the trust deposit. If an applicant fails to replenish a trust deposit in a timely
manner, the City shall suspend all processing of the application until such time as the applicant
remits the required additional funds.
Extraordinary services include, but are not limited to, geological reviews, preparation of
environmental impact reports and other environmental documentation, and special services by the
City Attorney. These arise directly from the particular application and are not within the scope of
service that is routinely provided by the City. This extraordinary cost of services shall be based
on hourly rate of City Planner. In tlie cvent such services required Consultant and City Attorney,
the review fees shall be based on full cost of recovery plus 10%administrative charge.
Staff added several new fees for planning services that are currently provided but fees were not in
previous Planning Fees Schedule. They are the following:
1) Development Agree►nent.
2) Combined Applications for Precise Plan, Conditional Use Permit, Tentative Tract Map, and
Tentative Parcel Map.
3)Combined Applications for General Plan Amendment and Change of Zone.
3
Buildin� & Safetv Fee:
There are no newly added fees for Building lnspection and Plan Check review. The proposed
fees are based on square feet of various structures models as the based models and the average
actual time spent on inspections and plan check reviews are used to derive fee per square foot.
The Building Inspection and Plan Check review fees per square foot included inspection of
electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and accessibility.
On June 9, 2005 the City Council approved Resolution OS-33A to waive the permit fee for water
heater replacement for a one-year period and began a public awareness program. To promote City
of Palm Desert's energy saving program and to encourage citizen of Palm Desert to replace old
water heater with energy-efficient ones, staff recommends continuing to waive the permit fees
during the length of the City of Palm Desert Energy Saving Program.
As the City of Palm Desert embarked on a five-year program to save energy, on August 24, 2006
the City Council adopted Resolution 06-117 to waive the permit fees for the installation of
photovoltaic solar systems and replacing older air conditioning and heating systems with new
high-efficiency syste►ns for a one-year period. To encourage the citizens to embrace this energy
conservation progra►n, staff recommends continuing to waive the permit fees during the length of
the City of Palm Desert Gnergy Saving Program.
Fire Fee:
The billable hourly rates used in this analysis were given to staff by Riverside County Fire
Department. The Fire Permit fees are fixed fees and are calculated based on the average actual
time necessary to perform inspection and review services. The Fire Plan Check and Inspection
Fees in this analysis apply to Industrial, Commercial, Multi-Family Application, and
Commercial/Industrial Tenant I►nprovement only.
Recommendation From BuildinQ Industrial Association. Desert Chapter:
The proposed fees were also sent to Building Industrial Association, Desert Chapter, for their
review and recommendation. The BIA's reco►nmendation was prepared to support the City's
Cost of Services study based on FY 2005-2006 actual expenditures. However, they are
concerned about the current downturn in local housing econo►ny. They asked if the City of Palm
Desert would consider either foregoing an increase in fces this year, or implementing the ncw fee
schedule excluding indirect external costs. Staff respectfully disagrees to forego an increase in
fees because the costs of services have been incurred and will be continued to incur, and the
downturn in the local economy also directly impacts the City with respect to revenue stream
through review and inspection by Development Services.
The City Council has the discretion to decide the best option for the City of Palm Desert, whether
to forego a fee increase or to change the percentage of cost recovery (instead of full cost
recovery)this year. Any modifications could be included as part of an approval of the actions at
the Council meeting.
4
Fiscal Impact/Future Fee Adiustments:
If the City Council approves the fee adjustment based on this study, the fees for services can
recover actual costs to provide the services with the Development Services Departments. Data
can be updated and fee schedules can be modified according to the cost of services annually.
Recommendation:
Based upon the study's result, staff recommends that the City Council accept the adjustments of
the fee study and adopt Resolution No. 07-80 , approving the revised fees for plan check and
inspection services provided within the Development Services Departments. �

I. INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE
A. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
This report summarizes a comprehensive analysis completed for the City of Palm
Desert, California to determine the cost of providing user requested services by
specific City departments including Planning, Public Works Engineering, Fire, and
Building & Safety. This study is the updated version of the fee study that was done
by former Consultant, Zucker Systems, on April 2003. The study has two parts:
■ An analysis of total City Indirect Costs by line programs on a citywide basis,
Voluine II.
■ Calculation of cost of service by fee categories for Building, Fire, Planning and
Public Works functions as related to private development activities, Volume I.
B. STATE LAW ON FEES
Fees are regulated by State of California law. That law states in part:
"NotK�ithstanding any other�rovisiorzs orlaw, x�hen a local agency charges.fees for
bctilding plan check, inspectiofzs, and permits, those ,fee.s shall not exceed the
estimated i�easonable costs of providing the se�vice .f'or which the .fee is charged
arnless a qzrestlon regarding the amocrnt orthe,fee cha�ged in excess oJ'the ��easonable
amot�nt of provrding se�•vices or matej•ials is submitted to, and appt�oved by a popzrlur
vote of two-thiyds of'those elec•tor�s votitzg or: the issare. " (Government Code 66014).
The law goes on to require a public hearing before the City Council in order to
consider any change in fees.
The Attorney General issued an opinion on fees in 1993. In the Attorney General
opinion No. 92-506, the following opinions were rendered:
"A local ugency is pr�ohibited.fi•om chajKiizg bzrildrng per•mit arzd similar.fees, K�hich
exceed the reasonable, estimated costs of�pi•oviding the services rendered irnless the
amoirnts of the.Jees a�•e appf•oved by the electorute. "
"A loca! age�7cy may not charge building pernzit and similar fees based or: the
Uniform Building Code (UBC) vali�ation tahles, which are in excess oJ�the estimated
reasonable costs of p�•oviding the.fees irnless the amotrnts of'the,fees u�•e appr•oved by
the electorate. "
If a local agency charges building permit and similar fees based on the UBC,
valuation tables without supporting evidence regarding the relationship between the
Palm Desert, CA 1
fees and services rendered, suc}� fees are invalid to the extent of exceeding reasonable
costs of providing the services rendered.
Reasonable costs mean employee salaries and benefits, services and supplies,
overhead as well as costs for support functions such as Hurnan Resources,
Infonnation Systems, etc., that are utilized to support the department delivering the
direct services.
C. OMB CIRCULAR A-87
The Indirect Cost Allocation approach used in this study does not specify which
charges can be used for programs subject to the Federal Office of Management and
Budget, Circular A-87. The way the Indirect Cost Allocation Model being constructed
is relatively easy for the City to adjust the model and arrive at A-87 figures.
D. DATA COLLECTION
Much of the analysis in this study was based on actual time spent on permit activities
that were recoded by staff daily.
E. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AND COSTS
We prepared two separate cost analyses. One includes our calculations of full cost
including Indirect External cost from all City departments that support the fee
functions. These costs are calculated and shown in the main body of this report. The
method used to calculate Indirect External costs is described in Volume II. The
second cost analysis excluded the Indirect External costs. These costs are shown in
Appendix B, C and D and are also shown in the tables below.
Overtilne billable rates are calculated by using one and one-half time of the salaries
expenditures plus fringe benefits, material & supplies, internal managetnent overhead,
and indirect external costs. The overtime-hourly rate will be charged for any review
or inspection outside nonnal business hours. Overtime-billable rates are shown in
Appendix E.
Table 1 indicates the employee rates per billable hour with and without the Indirect
External cost and Overtime billable rates with Indirect External cost.

II. INDIRECT COST ALLOCATION
(EXTERNAL OVERHEAD)
The purpose of the Indirect Cost Allocation analysis is to determine the full Indirect
Costs (External Overhead) for all the City's line programs as well as the Direct Costs
for each line program. A "line" program is a progratn that delivers direct services to
external customers; for example, Animal Control, Building Permits or Streets. The
line programs are supported by a variety of "staff' programs, for example, the City
Council, Finance and Human Resources. The approach used is to distribute costs of
all the staff programs to the line programs.
To determine the Indirect Costs and the line program cost our former consultant
created a computer Model that is described in Volucne II of this study effort. We
updated this inodel by using FY 2005/2006 actual cost. The Direct, Indirect and total
line item program costs for 37 programs are shown in Table 2 below.
There are two different ways to think about Direct and Indirect costs. Some
communities simply calculate by department or division. Everything within the
department or division's cost is considered Direct and everything outside the
department or division's cost is considered Indirect. For example, using this approach
the City Attorney's cost working on Planning Permits would be considered Indirect.
We decided that the approach described above was not workable for City of Palm
Desert since most departments and divisions are a mixture of Direct and Indirect
charges. The approach we used was to develop a list of line prograins and calculate
total program costs across all City functions. Under this approach, expenditure items
were entered as Direct program charges whenever possible. The Indirect cost then
became the result of subtracting the Direct charges from the total program costs.
These results in showing somewhat lower Indirect cost percentages than often found
in studies of this kind.

BUILDING AND SAFETY DEPARTMENT
A. OVERVIEW
Palm Desert's Building and Safety Department includes all the normal functions
associated with issuing building permits, plan check and inspections plus a separate
Code Enforcement section.
Our approach is to track the actual time it takes to conduct various building plan
checks and inspections and to establish fees based upon an hourly rate that include
direct and indirect costs. We provide a recommended fee system based on square
footage and combined item fee charges by using actual costs by square feet or
individual job. Using this method, a true estimate that complies with State law can be
realized.
B. COST ANALYSIS
Billable Hours
The billable hours for Building and Safety employees are shown in Table 3. Billable
hours are the total hours employees are available to work on the fee categories and
exclude time such as holidays and vacations. The hours range from 1,509 to 1,674.

C. COST OF SERVICF/FEE ANALYSIS
Data
The data for this study was developed as follows:
The Plans Examiner has been completing time logs for each plan review. The
Inspectors recorded time on their daily activity forms. This time, along with review of
other projects by the Inspection Manager and Inspectors, was used to determine time
used for each type of construction.
Use of Consultants
The Building and Safety Departinent currently uses three plan check consultants to
handle large projects or others when the workload is excessive. Consultants for plan
check are paid a percentage of fees collected. The cost of consultants is included in
the calculation of the Billable Rate to achieve full cost recovery.
Base Models
City staff has been documenting ticne for plan check and inspections during the past
years. Plan Check has recorded each job on a continuing basis. Inspection has been
Palm Desert, CA 10
documenting selected jobs attempting to use different categories reflecting tt�eir fee
schedule. Each category has been reviewed and agreed upon by the Building Official,
Deputy Building Official, Inspection Manager and our analyst.
The City of Palm Desert has an intensive process for Plan Check and Inspections as
follows:
■ Senior Plans Examiners review all architectural and structural plans for new
construction, tenant improvements, remodeling, electrical, plumbing,
mechanical, and accessibility. The City of Palm Desert has one of the most
yualified plan review staff.
■ Palm Desert inspections are more intense and thorough with more inspection
training and quality control than many other jurisdictions. The benefit is
quality inspections that avoid surprises. The City of Palm Desert has one of the
highest qualities of inspections.
Table 8 shows the base models we used to analyze employee average time for various
types of permits based on infonnation received from staff along with Building
Inspectors' professional observations, judgment, and the daily inspection time logs.
These times are used as a base to calculate all fees. Base models are average sized
structures encountered in Palm Desert.

Communities section of the Riverside Fire Department. The Cove Communities Fire
Service provides fire protection to the Cities of Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, and
Indian Wells. This service has their office location in the City of Palm Desert's Civic
Center complex. They provide this service through use of a Fire Chief/Fire Marshal,
Fire Safety Specialist (Plans Examiner), and several Fire Safety Inspectors. They
enforce provisions of the California Fire Code and parts of the California Building
Code that are fire responsibilities as delegated by the State Fire Marshal. All
occupancies, other than single-family dwellings plans, are reviewed by the Fire
Department and inspected for fire safety approval before Certificates of Use and
Occupancy can be issued by the City of Palm Desert.
Cost Recovery

Map Costs
Two GIS Technicians located in the Information System function have salaries and
fringe benefits cost of $171,745. This can be divided by billable hours of 3,200 to
arrive at an hourly rate of $53.67. This excludes any external overhead. The Indirect
external overhead for this function is $217,461 (See the Model spread sheet —
Inforn�ation System, 2"d Round total) or $31,066 for each of Infonnation System's
seven employees. If this amount were added, the GIS Technicians' cost would be
$232,994 and the hourly rate would be $73.09. The GIS Technician estimates his time
at 15 minutes per map for a labor cost of $18.27 per map. This can be added to the
map supplies costs shown in Table A-l.
C. UPDATING FEE COSTS
The tables are interlocked and make the various calculations automatically. Data that
must either be checked for current accuracy or updated is shown in bold type. If any

V. PUBLIC WORKS FEES
A. OVERVIEW
The Public Works Department includes the following functions:
■ Right-of-way street improvements plan review and inspections.
■ Landscaping improvements plan review and inspection.
■ Right-of-way encroachments to include driveways, curb and gutters, right-of-
way excavations and related plan review and inspections.
■ Grading plan review and inspections.
Our approach has been to establish a reasonable time and establish fees based upon an
hourly rate that includes direct and indirect costs. We suggest fees based on lineal
footage of property frontage for half and full streets, cost by lot for grading, acreage
volumes for landscaping, and flat fees for processes that are Public Works
Department responsibilities. There are also some fees mandated by the County for
drainage and land areas that we have incorporated into the fee schedule.

F. SUMMARY OF CHANGES FOR PUBLIC WORKS
FEE ANALYSIS:
* Subdivisions Entitlement (Tentative Parcel Maps/ Tentative Tracts), and Lot
line Adjustcnent fees are consolidated to Planning Fees because they are being
collected by Planning Department.
* Faithful performance Bonds, and Labor and Materials Bond plan check fees
were elitninated.
* Plan Check service fees were eliminated for items such as Residential and
Commercial Driveways, Curbs and Gutters, Excavation, and Residential Driveway
Approach resulting in a significant decrease in Service Fees.
* Traffic Counts Per Day fee, Oversize Load fee, and Valet Parking inspection
fee are eliminated.
* The calculation of Curbs and Gutters Inspection fee was changed from 300
linear feet to 100 linear feet to reflect the actual cost incurred per hour.
* Commercial Driveway inspection fee was less than previous year due to the
decrease of actual inspection time.
* Residential Curb Core / Drain inspection, and Utility Cut inspection services
were provided by Public Works but fees were not previously imposed, staff added
these new items in the proposed fee schedule.
* PM]0 Plan Check and Inspection fee was lower due to the required actual
time for the work is being improved.
* Fees that cannot be adjusted based on FY2005-2006 actual expenditures
were Impact Fees. Traffic Signalization Impact, Drainage Impact, and Park Impact
fees, which will remain the same, based upon current City Ordinance. If Council
wishes to make any future fee adjustments regarding the above impact fees, a nexus
study is required in order to justify any fee increase.

I. INDIRECT COST ALLOCATION
(EXTERNAL OVERHEAD)
A. OVERVIEW
The purpose of the Indirect Cost Allocation analysis is to determine the full Indirect
Costs (External Overhead) for all of the City's line programs as well as the Direct
Costs for each line program. A "line" program is a program that delivers direct
services to external customers, for example, Animal Control, Building Perrnits or
Streets. The line progra�ns are supported by a variety of "staff' programs, for
example, the City Council, Finance and Human Resources. The approach used is to
distribute costs of all the staff programs to the line programs.
There are two different ways to think about Direct and Indirect costs. Some
communities simply calculate by department or division. Everything within the
department or division actual expense is considered Direct and everything outside the
department or division's actual expense is considered Indirect. For example, using this
approach the City Attorneys cost working on Planning Permits would be considered
Indirect.
We decided that the approach described above was not workable for Palm Desert
since most departments and divisions are a mixture of Direct and Indirect charges.
The approach we used was to develop a list of Direct programs and calculate total
program costs across all City functions. Under this approach, expenditure items were
entered as Direct program charges whenever possible. The Indirect cost then became
the result of subtracting the Direct charges from the total program costs. This result in
showing somewhat lower Indirect cost percentages than often found in studies of this
kind. For use in fee studies, all the Direct charges in the Model should be examined to
determine if sotne of these should be added to the direct department or division
charges. This process was used for the fee departments and is illustrated in Volume I.
To determine the Indirect Costs and the line program costs our former Consultant,
Zucker System, created a computer Model that is described in this Volume II of the
study effort. The City of Palm Desert used Fiscal Year 2005/2006 expenditures and
actual staff tiines to update this Model. The Direct, Indirect and total line item
program costs are shown in Table 1 below.

The first titep in the process was to define the line programs. The lists of line
programs are shown in Tables 1 and 2. Many of the City's de�artments or Function
units include both line and staff}�rograms as shown in the "Line and Staff Programs"
listii�g in Table 2. Some departments or budget units are totally "Staff Programs" and
these are also listed in Table 2.

B. MODEL METHODOLOGY
This Indirect Extcrnal Cost and li►ie progr-am cost analysis consists of a large Cxcel
file that includes a Model that is sup�orted by a series of Excel worksheets.
The line programs as shown in Tahle 2 above were inserted into the left-har�d column
A of the Model.
�lctual costs for fiscal year OS/06 were either insei-ted into the Model in the row at the
top of the model (Line 3) or into the W�rksheets shown in Appendix �1 and in tl�c
E:xcel computer files. The Model could he run using either actual costs or hudgets. For
this particular 5tudy we used the F1' �5/U6 actual costs which we think is a fair and
equitahle method of calculating the ncw fees will he cha�-ged.

The secluence of events was as follows:
1. "I'he two worksheets indicating number of employees, square footages of' buildin�
and numher of vehicles by program �r functions were created using data fi�om City
records and inserted into the function worksheets. The square footages of building and
number of vehicles were transferrecl to the Model in Columns C and D. The numhers
of employees were transferred to the function work sheets or if there was no function
worksheet for an employee category, the em�loyees were transterred directly to the
Model.
Palm Desert 6
2. The function worksheets were created, using data from the City's FY OS/06 actual
costs as part of this study. Data fi�om these function sheets were transferred to the
Model.
3. Data from the actual costs that did not reyuire function sheets (i.e. they were either
a direct line program or were going to be distributed by a specific formula) were
inserted into tlle Model in the top Row 3.
4. Data was spread to line programs either "directly", by "number of employees", by
"building square footage", or by "number of vehicles".
5. Dollar totals were calculated for all items shown in the left-hand column which
included "Line Programs", "Line and Staff Programs", and "Staff Programs". These
dollar totals are shown in Column BC of the Model (1 S` Round Totals).
6. Several categories were distributed by actual costs. There included a portion of
Finance (4150), Elections (41 14), and Independent Audit (4151). These three
categories were distributed following Step 5 above and added to the first round totals
and shown in Columr� BG of the Model (2"d Round Totals).
7. At this point, the "Line and Staff Programs" and the "Staff Programs" still included
dollars in their categories. However, one of the purposes of the study was to distribute
all staff dollars to line programs. To accomplish this the dollars shown at this stage for
all "Line and Staff Programs" and the "Staff Programs" categories were totaled. This
total was then distributed to all the line programs. This resulted in Final Total
Program Costs as shown in Column BL of the Model.
8. As a final step, the total prograin costs were divided into Direct costs (Column BI)
and Indirect costs (Column BJ). The percent of Indirect cost by program category
were also calculated and are shown in Column BK of the Model. Note that Column BI
still shows a few Direct costs. These ca►ne from Development Services, Finance,
Public Works —Administration, Auto Fleet, Building Operations & Maintenance, and
Public VVorks — Corp Yard. Although they were listed under a Direct column (Column
V and AI) they were actually merged in the final tally and are included in the Total
Program Costs. As such they can be ignored in Column BI.
C. METHODOLOGY OVERALL CATEGORIES
The detailed methodology is described below. The approach and estimates were based
on best available FY OS/06 actual costs and actual staff times.
Palm Desert 7
The Model
This report includes paragraphs in itulics that indicate how the data in the Model
should he updated. The numbers shown in bold in the Model (as weli as the
supporting Function worksheets) are numbers that need to be inserted manually. All
other numbers will be automatically calculated.
Actual Costs
The methodology and Model use the figures from the City's printed 2005/2006
expenditure reports.
Model: To tr��late, insej•t neti1� actiral.fi�ur•e,s into the Model und Ftrnction tit�orksheets.
Personnel Costs
All personnel costs include Workers Comp, Retiree Health lnsurance, and other fringe
benefits as printed in the payroll report.
Model: To �rpdate, inse�•t new Pe�sonrte! Costs in the Fintction x�o�•ksheets. If a
.firnction or department does not hai�e a detailed Function x�o�•ksheet, the personnel
costs are autornatically ifzclt�ded in the overall �zeia� actua! data il�hen overall actcrul
costs are inserted into the Mo�el.
Building Square Footages (Table A-4)
Building square footages were divided into smaller departments or divisions by
allocating by the number of employees in each function as shown in the Function
worksheet.
Model: If� the ntunber of employees by .f�irfzction chan�es or more re�ned square
Jootage �lata is available, insert nex� naunbers i��to the Function x>orksheet. These new
ntrmbers will acrtomatically crpdate the nz�rnhe�•s in the Mocfel.
Number of Employees (Table A-1)
Note that a number of actual costs are spread to programs by the number of
employees in a program. However, given the nature of the City and the departments,
most department employees work on numerous line programs. Therefore, simply
spreading actual costs to departments that have employees does not give a good
picture of expenses by line programs. To accommodate this problem, employees were
split and allocated by program within the Function worksheets whenever possible.
The allocation was based on the total cost for each program as shown on the Function
worksheet. These numbers were then automatically transferred to the employee
column in the Model. Since numerous departments may be working on the sa►ne line
Palm Desert 8
program, the employees shown in the Model for that program tnay be an
accumulation from several departments.
D. USE OF THE MODEL

RESOLUTION NO. 07_1in
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING
THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES FEE SCHEDULE TO REFLECT THE ANNUAL UPDATE
BASED ON FY2005-2006 ACTUAL EXPENDITURES.
WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code sections 66016 and 66017, the City of Palm Desert proposes to
adopt the Development Review and Inspection Service Fees Annual Adjustment; and
WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 66016 requires notice to be given and data made
available at specified times prior to the adoption of increases in existing service fees for use permits and
building inspections sometime hereinafter at a public meeting of this City Council; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Palm Desert, California, did on July 8`11, 2004, approve the
"Cost of Services Study" (a nexus study that Zucker Systems did) as the City's model and policy for all
future service fees' adjustments; and
WHEREAS, This nexus study set forth a mechanism for ensuring that fees adopted by the City for
Development Services rendered do not exceed the reasonable estimated cost of providing the services; and
WHEREAS, the applicant benefiting from such services should primarily bear their cost so that they can be
delivered in a timely and effective manner; and
WHEREAS, the costs associated with service delivery have risen, and increased requirement by the State
of California have further increased costs. The City of Palm Desert will accordingly adjust the cost of
services based upon Fiscal Year 2005/2006 expenditures and the actual staff times, so that the associated
fees for existing and potential applicants are current and reasonable, and the residents of Palm Desert
continue to receive a high level of quality service.
NOW, THEREFORE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT DOES HEREBY
APPROVE THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND INSPECTION SERVICE FEES ANNUAL
ADJUSTMENT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council has considered all of the evidence submitted into the administrative
record, which includes, but is not limited to, the Comprehensive Cost of Services Study based on FY 2005-
2006 actual expenditures for Development Processes Volume I & 11 prepared by Finance Department of
City of Palm Desert.
SECTION 2. In view of all of the evidence, and based on the findings and conclusions contained
herein and in the Updated Comprehensive Cost of Services Study, the City Council hereby resolves as
follows:
1. That the Comprehensive Cost of Services Study based on FY 2005-2006 Actual
Expenditures for Development Departments is hereby adopted and approved,
2. That the amount of each fee established and adopted herein may be modified and updated
periodically, and annually by resolution of the City Council pursuant to any applicable
law, rule or regulation and / or to conform with the findings set forth in the Study or any
subsequent fee study prepared by or on behalf of the City.
3. That, upon the effective date of this Resolution, the City shall impose the user fees
recommended in the Comprehensive Cost of Services Study as approved herein.
SECTION 3. Where the City Manager determines that the public interest would be served by such
an agreement, the City manager is authorized to negotiate and execute agreements to defer, waive or reduce
any Development Service Fees upon an Applicant for a particular development project, but only if the City
Manager determines upon evidence presented by the Applicant, that the development project will provide a
general benefit to the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the City of Palm Desert, and will not only
be of special benefit to an Applicant. Such finding and the resulting agreement (s) to defer, waive or reduce
any Development Service Fees shall be subject to approval by the City Council.
SECTION 4. Effective Date.
In accordance with Government Code Section 66017, the modified fees set forth in this Resolution shall not
take effect until sixty (60) calendar days following the adoption of this Resolution.
SECTION 5. Severability.

Resolution be rendered or declared invalid by any final court action in a court of competent jurisdiction or
by reason of any preemptive legislation, the remaining provisions, sections, paragraphs, sentences or words

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Carlos Ortega, City Manager
Date: December 13, 2007
Subject: City Council Agenda-December 13, 2007
Public Hearings — Item B
In a letter addressed to me from Mr. Fred Bell, Executive Director of the Building Industry
Association Desert Chapter, dated November 26, 2007, the BIA is requesting that because of
the current state of the construction market that the City adopt the proposed fee schedule
increase as outlined by Finance Director/City Treasurer but delay implementation of such
increase for a period of twelve months.
Attached is a summary prepared by the Finance Director that shows the revenue loss to the
City if the City Council were to grant Mr. Bell's request. There are two scenarios analyzed.
One shows an upturned construction market and the other a downturned construction market.
Under the upturned construction market, the City would forego $309,000 and under the
downturned construction market the City would forego $195,000.

Dear Mr. Ortega,
Per our conversation this afternoon, we have reviewed the City's Annual Adjustment
to Development Service Fee Proposal. We provided some questions and comments,
which Mr. Gibson responded - to our satisfaction. However, considering the current
state of the construction market we ask that the City of Palm Desert ado�he
proposed fee schedule, but delay irnplementation for a period of twelve (12) months.
Our previous letter commenting on the `Development Service Fees Proposal' is
attached, per your request.
Respectfully,
