Section IExecutive Summary
INTRODUCTION MGT of America, Inc (MGT) is pleased to present the City of Encinitas with this summary of findings for the cost of services study for development-related user fee services. This study is an update of a study that MGT performed for the City in 2011. This is the third update of an original study performed in 2005 by Public Resource Management Group (PRM). That original 2005 study focused primarily on establishing a baseline of fees and cost recovery policies for development-related services, and identified significant opportunities for increased user fee revenues (slightly more than $1.3 million in potential increased revenues). The updates performed in 2009 and 2011 followed the same methodology as the original study, but rather than presenting a significant opportunity for increases in user fee revenues, those studies reflected the economic downturn (beginning in 2008) and its impact on the City’s development activity and associated user fee services; minimal adjustments were made to fees in 2009 and no fees were adjusted in 2011. In order to better reflect the current economic situation as well as in the interest of keeping its fees current, the City contracted with MGT to update the FY 2011 study with proposed 2014/2015 fiscal year budget and staffing information, and projected activity levels for the upcoming fiscal year. STUDY SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES The focus of the study was on development-related user fee activities; specifically Planning, Fire Prevention, and Engineering fees. Building permit and inspection fees were not included in the analysis. The following departments provide support to these services: Planning Fire – Fire Loss Prevention and Planning Engineering Water – Planning and Engineering Division Page 1
The study was performed under the general direction of the Finance Department with the participation of the above-mentioned departments. The primary goals of the study were to: Define what it costs the City to provide various fee-related services. Determine whether there are any opportunities to implement new fees. Identify service areas where the City might adjust fees based on the full cost of services and other economic or policy considerations. Develop revenue projections based on recommended increases (or decreases) to fees. Provide a comparison of what other jurisdictions are charging for similar services. The information summarized in this report addresses each of these issues and provides the City of Encinitas with the tools necessary to make informed decisions about possible fee adjustments and the resulting impact on general fund revenues. STUDY FINDINGS While the purpose of this study is to identify the cost of fee-related activities, one of the outcomes of the analysis is a complete picture of the full cost of all services provided. It is necessary to identify all costs, whether fee-related or not, so that there is a fair distribution of all citywide and departmental overhead costs (discussed in a subsequent section of this report) across all activities, ensuring a clear relationship between the cost of the service and the fee that is charged. No service should be burdened with costs that cannot be directly or indirectly associated with that service. Therefore the first task in this study is to separate the fee-for-service activities from the non-fee activities. Some non-fee related activities are appropriately funded by general fund monies (or other special revenue sources), such as public projects or code enforcement services. The costs of these other services are identified and set aside from the user fee services. Exhibit I on the following page displays the split of the total costs of each department into either user fee-related or other service costs. Of the $13.0 million in total costs analyzed, just over $3.4 million (or 26%) of that total is related to user fee services. It is this $3.4 million that is the focus of this study, and this represents the total potential of user fee-related revenues for the City of Encinitas. Page 2

When fees are collected for development-related services, SDWD should receive 3.85% of the total.) One of the key aspects of this study is that the departments were careful to identify staff time spent in support of fees collected outside of the “home” department. For example, Fire Prevention spends time on and incurs costs for several planning and engineering fee activities in addition to providing its own services. This study calculated the cost of this crossover support between the departments (including SDWD support to these services; SDWD does not collect its own development-related user fees). The costs of user fee services identified above represent the costs of all development-related services. The costs are then split between planning, fire prevention, and engineering fees in the two exhibits below. The next step in the process is to identify the source of funds for the user fee services. Exhibit II below breaks down the $3.4 million in user fee services between costs that are recovered through current user fee charges and costs that are currently unrecovered. Overall, the City is experiencing a 52% cost recovery level for its fee-related services. Within each department, cost recovery levels range from 32% for Fire Prevention, 51% for Engineering, and 60% for Planning. At the individual program or service level, individual fee recoveries range from 0% to more than 100%. The information about individual fees may be found in subsequent sections of this report. Page 3

This $1,596,373 represents a potential cost recovery opportunity for the City to increase fees and general fund revenues, with a corresponding decrease in the subsidization of services. While it is not likely (nor would MGT recommend) that the City completely recover all costs for fees, it is possible for the City to implement moderate increases to current fees and implement new fees for some services. The study's primary objective is to provide the City's decision-makers with basic data needed for setting fees. This report details the full cost of services and presents proposed fees and projected revenues based on established city policy for user fee cost recovery levels. Each department, working with the Finance Department, made its own recommendations for fee increases based upon careful consideration of the results of the cost analysis, historical cost recovery levels, economic considerations, and the elasticity of demand unique to each department’s services. Page 4
Exhibit III below summarizes the report's financial analysis of the City's user fee program. It is estimated that adoption of the recommended fees would increase the specified fee revenue by $167,460 (assuming a static volume of activity). This would bring the overall cost recovery level up to 57%.

Therefore, if fees are implemented as recommended, this study projects a total revenue collection of $1,911,285 and SDWD would receive approximately $73,544 of that total. Page 5
METHODOLOGY A cost of service study analyzes two components of costs: the direct costs associated with providing each fee-for-service activity, and the indirect costs that support these activities. A brief discussion of each of these components follows. Direct Costs. The direct costs associated with fee-for-service activities were analyzed in great detail in this study. MGT worked closely with staff and management within each of the departments to develop the analysis that is summarized in the following sections of this report. Fiscal year 2014/2015 proposed budget estimates were used to identify direct costs. The first step in the process was to identify staff time spent directly on each of the user fee activities. Each staff person that participates in the user fee services identified time spent to complete each task associated with all user fee services. Annual volume statistics were also gathered in order to develop total annual workload information. Salary and benefit dollars were assigned to the time estimates to come up with the direct staff costs. Indirect Costs. A proportionate share of other operating expenses and internal department administrative costs were layered onto the direct costs as a departmental overhead. Citywide overhead costs coming from the cost allocation plan (described below) were also added in as indirect overhead. Finally, crossover direct costs were added in as necessary. These four components of costs: 1) direct salary and benefits, 2) departmental overhead, 3) citywide overhead, and 4) crossover direct costs total up to the full cost of providing each service. The cost of each activity is then compared to the fee currently charged, and an under- or over-recovery of costs is identified. Cost Allocation Plan. Many of the costs that support all city programs and services are budgeted in centralized activities such as Finance, which provides budgeting and accounting support, and Facility Maintenance, which provides building maintenance and custodial services. The costs of these activities and other centralized services are considered indirect overhead that support fee-for-service activities as well as other programs and functions within the City. As part of this study, MGT developed an indirect cost allocation plan that identifies and distributes these indirect costs to all operating programs and functions within the City’s organizational structure. The cost allocation plan takes a detailed approach to analyzing indirect costs. MGT collected and analyzed data within each central service activity to determine: Page 6
1. What indirect support functions are provided (e.g. payroll, legal services, civic center maintenance, etc), 2. How to allocate centrally budgeted personnel and other operating expenses into these functions, 3. Which departments receive benefit from these services (e.g. payroll services benefit all departments that have budgeted staff, civic center maintenance benefits all departments that are housed in the Civic Center), and 4. What is the best method of allocating these costs to the users (e.g. payroll services are allocated based on the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) positions department). The end result of this analysis is the allocation of all indirect costs to all operating departments and programs. The indirect costs are then added to the direct costs to determine the full cost of all city operations – whether fee-related or not. This accounting exercise is important in that it can result in an increase in general fund revenues for reimbursement of support to enterprise and internal service funds, state or federally funded programs, and user fee services.

ECONOMIC & POLICY CONSIDERATIONS Calculating the true cost of providing city services is a critical step in the process of establishing user fees and corresponding cost recovery levels. But although it is the most important factor, others must also be given consideration. City decision-makers must also consider the effects that establishing fees for services will have on the individuals purchasing those services as well as the community as a whole. The following economic and policy issues help illustrate these considerations. It may be a desired policy to establish fees at a level that permits lower income groups to participate in services that they might not otherwise be able to afford. A consideration of community-wide benefit versus specific benefit should be considered for certain services (e.g. free installation of child safety seats for residents). In conjunction with the second point above, the issue of who is the service recipient versus the service driver should also be considered. For example, code enforcement activities benefit the community as a whole, but the service is driven by the individual or business owner that violates city code. Elasticity of demand is a factor in pricing certain city services; increasing the price of some services results in a reduction of demand for those services, and vice versa. Public sector agencies have a monopoly on providing certain services within its boundaries, such as development-related services. However, other services such as recreation programs may be provided by the private sector, and therefore demand for these services is highly dependent on what else may be available at lower prices. Pricing services can encourage or discourage certain behaviors. Some examples of this would be to establish a low fee for a water heater permit to encourage homeowners to ensure their water heater is properly installed, or setting false alarm response fees on an incremental scale to discourage multiple false alarms. It may be impractical to establish a cost recovery system for some services or too costly to collect the fees. Many fees that are charged after a service has been provided fall under this category, e.g. DUI response fees, false alarm response fees, code enforcement violations, etc. Page 8
REPORT ORGANIZATION Following are report sections II through VI which present findings and recommendations, fully burdened hourly rates, and a comparison survey of selected fees. Sections II, III, and IV contains two summary schedules for each department’s fees, which display the results of the cost analysis and recommendations. The summary sheets are structured with the following format: Per Unit Information. This summary sheet provides information about each user fee activity analyzed. This spreadsheet shows the annual volume of activity, the current fee charged, the full cost calculated, and the resulting cost recovery level. The last three columns on the right display information about recommended fee adjustments. Annual Projections. This summary sheet displays the same fee information and recommendations identified in the per-unit information spreadsheet, but annualize the cost/revenue projections by multiplying that information by the annual volume of activity. Total projected revenue figures are displayed at the bottom of the summary. Section V displays fully burdened hourly rates for all staff within the departments analyzed. The burden rate that is attached to hourly salary and benefit costs includes overhead costs such as department administration, service and supply costs, and citywide overhead. It should be noted that for Planning, Fire Prevention, and Engineering, the calculated burden rates ranged from 69% up to 87%, but have been capped at 50% due to Council direction at the conclusion of the 2005 study. In addition to the user fee departments, hourly rates were also developed for Public Works staff. The burden rate for Public Works is 37.5% and that rate (instead of the capped 50% rate) is used for the hourly rates for staff within these departments. Section VI shows the results of a comparison of selected fees. Surveys provide information relative to what other cities are charging for similar services. It should be noted this survey provides only a simple comparison of fees as listed on each cities’ fee schedule. It is intended to give the City Council an idea of how Encinitas’ fees compare to those in surrounding communities. It does not however address the question of whether these cities have undertaken studies such as this one, which identifies all costs associated with the services provided. It does not attempt to determine whether these agencies have made a conscious decision to subsidize their fees with general fund monies (and to what degree). Nor does it address whether each agency provides a similar level of service for similar fees. Page 9
