Home My WebLink AboutInformation Report - Cost-of-Services Fee Study on Fiscal Year 2009 / 2010CITY OF PALM DESERT FINANCE DEPARTMENT INFORMATIONAL STAFF REPORT Request: Receive and file the informational report relative to the Cost -of -Services Fee Study based on FY 2009-2010 actual expenditures and provide direction to staff relative to implementation of fee schedules. Submitted by: Paul S. Gibson, Finance Director Date: June 23, 2011 Attachments: Exhibit A — Building and Safety Fee Comparison Exhibit B — Community Development / Planning Fee Comparison Exhibit C — Fire Fee Comparison Exhibit D — Public Works Fee Comparison Recommendation By Minute Motion, that the City Council: receive and file the informational report relative to the Cost -of -Services Fee Study based on FY 2009-2010 actual expenditures; and 2. provide direction to staff relative to implementation of fee schedules. Background In 2006, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 06-164, which approved fee schedules based on FY 2004-2005 actual costs. These schedules trail current costs by five years. On average, the result of keeping the costs frozen at FY 2004-2005 rates has cost the City approximately $200,000 - $300,000 annually, for a total of $1.5 million. It is no longer in the best interest of the City to maintain costs at this level. Following is an estimate of fee increases compared to the previously adopted fee schedules: • Building & Safety: average fee increase is 11 %. This study includes additional estimated time required for plan checking and inspections due to the new Green Building codes and energy codes. • Public Works: average fee increase is 11 %. • Planning: average fee increase is 35%. • Fire: average fee increase is 31 %. There are a number of items in the FY 2004-2005 fee schedule that reflect a waived fee such as inspections for water heaters, HVAC replacements, PV solar system inspections. Due to more Staff Report Review and Consider Comprehensive Cost of Services Study June 23, 2011 Page 2 of 2 stringent regulations issued by the State, the amount of time required for inspections has doubled and in some cases tripled in order to meet the requirements for reducing our carbon footprint. Therefore, staff recommends that the fees no longer be waived. The following is a summary of Residential Development Fee Study, which was conducted by the Rose Institute of State and Local Government at Claremont McKenna College in March 2008 and compares the fees charged by valley cities. The total fees per unit include Building permit fees, Impact fees, Environmental fees, Engineering fees, and Planning fees. According to the report, the City of Palm Desert has the lowest total fees. 2,500 Sq.ft - includes A/C 400 S .ft Garage 2007 DATA 35 UNIT SUBDIVISION 2007 DATA 60 UNIT SUBDIVISION CITY IN RIVERSIDE COUNTY/ COACHELLA VALLEY TOTAL FEES TOTAL FEES TOTAL FEES TOTAL FEES PER UNIT PER SUBDIVISON PER UNIT PER SUBDIVISON PALM DESERT $25,082.40 $877,883.90 $24,892.71 $1,493,562.40 CATHEDRAL CITY $28,139.51 $984,882.80 $26,393.50 $1,583,609.80 LA QUINTA $28,806.16 $1,007,104.98 $26,824.65 $1,602,721.52 RANCHO MIRAGE $31,180.44 $1,091,315.30 $28,806.01 $1,728,360.80 INDIAN WELLS $31,861.50 $1,115,152.65 $29,486.21 $1,769,172.60 COACHELLA $35,781.32 $1,252,346.28 $34,537.51 $2,072,250.77 INDIO $35,788.36 $1,252,592.70 $34,080.05 $2,044,803.20 PALM SPRINGS $37,226.45 $1,302,925.81 $34,993.21 $2,099,592.56 RIVERSIDE COUNTY $39,341.44 $1,376,950.45 $37,125.68 $2,227,540.73 DESERT HOT SPRINGS $45,773.11 $1,602,164.00 $44,839.98 $2,690,399.00 Staff intends to present the proposed fee schedule for review and approval at the August 25, 2011 Council meeting. At that meeting, Council may also wish to consider the option of phasing in these fees over a period of two to three years so that it does not present a large impact on the public. The comprehensive Cost of Services studies have been sent to Mr. Bill Blankenship, Deputy Director of Building Industrial Association, Desert Chapter and James Brownyard, Chief Operating Officer of Desert Valley Builders Association for their review and comment prior to the August Council meeting.
