Description) Finance: Council Notes: ��Sa Zd°�- Z77 #71 7/b Agenda Item No. 3-3 r CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO— REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Staff Report Subiect: A Resolution adopting updated building permit and plan review fees. Background: The Development Services Department charges regulatory fees for plan reviews and building permits to cover the costs of providing the services associated with the enforcement of building codes as mandated by state law. The Department has undertaken a fee study (available from the Department or the City Clerk) to review and update the fees charged for building and plan review services. One part of this study was a time/cost analysis in regards to residential housing construction, both tract housing and in- fill housing, in order to develop a schedule of fees specific to single-family housing. As is clearly evident from the analysis, construction of homes in quantity, as is characterized by typical tract developments, results in economies of scale and consequently reduced overall inspection costs. As a result, separate fee schedules have been developed for tract homes (Attachment A) and infill homes (Attachment B), since the costs associated with inspections of each are significantly different. The proposed resolution includes these fee schedules in addition to other fee results from the study. The minimum permit fee and the fully burdened hourly rates for building inspection and plan review have been analyzed and updated. Fees are proposed for residential additions based on a computed average inspection cost per square foot. The Department currently utilizes building construction valuation and fee tables that were last updated in 1991. These tables do not reflect current construction costs, but rather those that were in effect in 1991. The existing level of fees based on 1991 building valuation rates are not adequate to provide the personnel and resources that the Department requires to provide an adequate level of service to the development community. Furthermore, the use of outdated valuation rates does not accurately report the level of construction activity in current dollars. The following chart compares the total costs of providing building inspection and plan check services and the revenues associated with these activities over the past ten (10) fiscal years. The total costs include departmental and general city overhead. COSTS VS.REVENUE Building Inspection and Plan Check Fiscal Year Total Costs Total Revenue Shortfall or Surplus % Over or Under Break Even Point 1998-99 $1,213,808 $868,634 ($345,174) - 28.4% 1999-00 $1,171,579 $860,719 ($310,860) - 26.5 % 2000-01 $1,130,365 $919,271 ($211,094) - 18.7% 2001-02 $1,290,114 $1,051,134 ($238,980) - 18.5% 2002-03 $1,464,012 $1,235,800 ($228,212) - 15.6% 2003-04 $1,348,657 $1,266,569 ($82,088) - 6.1 % 2004-05 $1,610,464 $1,913,092 $302,628 + 18.8% 2005-06 $1,842,616 $2,059,631 $217,015 + 11.8% 2006-07 $1,982,957 $1,924,589 ($58,368) - 2.9% 2007-08* $2,295,325 $1,368,000 ($927,325) - 40.4% *projected values as of 3/31/08 Except for the two peak years (2005 and 2006) Building Division revenues have consistently been below the cost recovery point. The Department has developed an updated Building Valuation Table based on current construction costs published in the February 2005 Edition of Building Safety Journal by the International Code Council (Attachment Q. The valuation table currently in use has not been updated since August 1991 . The adoption of the updated Building Valuation Table will result in an increase in the amount of fees charged, and revenues collected, the magnitude of which will vary by the use (occupancy classification) and the type of construction of the buildings constructed. The amount of fee increase or decrease for any given project is highly variant based on the type of use, type of construction, its size, and complexity. On average the change in the amount of fees collected for various types of projects is estimated to be a decrease of 45 percent for tract homes, an increase of 33 percent for infill homes, an increase of 52 percent for residential additions, an increase of 40 percent for miscellaneous electrical/plumbing/mechanical permits, an increase of 35 percent for commercial projects, and an increase of 74 percent for industrial projects. Attachment E provides some examples of the impact of the fee adjustments on specific projects that have been permitted in recent years. The overall increase in revenues would be dependent on the mix or proportion of residential, commercial and industrial projects in future years. Given the current recessionary trend, it is anticipated that construction levels and permit revenues will continue to fall in the coming year. If approved at the public hearing, the fees would be effective on August 15, 2008. The Government Code requires that all development related fees take effect no sooner than 60 days after their adoption. The Ways & Means Committee reviewed this fee proposal on June 4, 2008 and requested additional information in the form of specific examples of how the fee adjustments affect various projects. This information is summarized in Attachment E. Additionally, representatives from homebuilder GFR Enterprises Inc. spoke to the Committee in support of this fee proposal. They also asked the committee to consider altering the fee structure of various development impact fees (DIF) from the current one based per dwelling unit to a fee structure based on square feet. Since the DIF's are not part of this fee proposal, the committee agreed to review the matter separately. The Committee decided to forward this fee proposal on to the Mayor and Common Council. A proposed Ordinance amending SBMC Section 15.04.080A has been placed on the MCC agenda for concurrent consideration with this Resolution. It is necessary to update and reconcile the text of the Municipal Code with this Resolution. Financial Impact: It is anticipated that these fee increases would result in increased revenues of$430,000, offset by revenue losses of $315,000 due to lower construction activity, resulting in a net increase of $115,000. However, given the current economic climate and uncertainty, this is highly variable and dependent on the future level of construction activity. Recommendation: That the public hearing relative to the Resolution to adopt updated building permit and plan review fees be closed and the Resolution be adopted. Attachments: Resolution A. Table IA.

CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO—REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Staff Report Subject: A Resolution adopting updated building permit and plan review fees. Background: The Development Services Department charges regulatory fees for plan reviews and building permits to cover the costs of providing the services associated with the enforcement of building codes as mandated by state law. The Department has undertaken a fee study (available from the Department or the City Clerk)to review and update the fees charged for building and plan review services. One part of this study was a time/cost analysis in regards to residential housing construction, both tract housing and in- fill housing, in order to develop a schedule of fees specific to single-family housing. As is clearly evident from the analysis, construction of homes in quantity, as is characterized by typical tract developments, results in economies of scale and consequently reduced overall inspection costs. As a result, separate fee schedules have been developed for tract homes (Attachment A) and infill homes (Attachment B), since the costs associated with inspections of each are significantly different. The proposed resolution includes these fee schedules in addition to other fee results from the study. The minimum permit fee and the fully burdened hourly rates for building inspection and plan review have been analyzed and updated. Fees are proposed for residential additions based on a computed average inspection cost per square foot. The Department currently utilizes building construction valuation and fee tables that were last updated in 1991. These tables do not reflect current construction costs, but rather those that were in effect in 1991. The existing level of fees based on 1991 building valuation rates are not adequate to provide the personnel and resources that the Department requires to provide an adequate level of service to the development community. Furthermore, the use of outdated valuation rates does not accurately report the level of construction activity in current dollars. The following chart compares the total costs of providing building inspection and plan check services and the revenues associated with these activities over the past ten (10) fiscal years. The total costs include departmental and general city overhead.

The Department has developed an updated Building Valuation Table based on current construction costs published in the February 2005 Edition of Building Safety Journal by the International Code Council (Attachment Q. The valuation table currently in use has not been updated since August 1991 . The adoption of the updated Building Valuation Table will result in an increase in the amount of fees charged, and revenues collected, the magnitude of which will vary by the use (occupancy classification) and the type of construction of the buildings constructed. The amount of fee increase or decrease for any given project is highly variant based on the type of use, type of construction, its size, and complexity. On average the change in the amount of fees collected for various types of projects is estimated to be a decrease of 45 percent for tract homes, an increase of 33 percent for infill homes, an increase of 52 percent for residential additions, an increase of 40 percent for miscellaneous electrical/plumbing/mechanical permits, an increase of 35 percent for commercial projects, and an increase of 74 percent for industrial projects. Attachment E provides some examples of the impact of the fee adjustments on specific projects that have been permitted in recent years. The overall increase in revenues would be dependent on the mix or proportion of residential, commercial and industrial projects in future years. Given the current recessionary trend, it is anticipated that construction levels and permit revenues will continue to fall in the coming year. If approved at the public hearing, the fees would be effective on August 15, 2008. The Government Code requires that all development related fees take effect no sooner than 60 days after their adoption. The Ways & Means Committee reviewed this fee proposal on June 4, 2008 and requested additional information in the form of specific examples of how the fee adjustments affect various projects. This information is summarized in Attachment E. Additionally, representatives from homebuilder GFR Enterprises Inc. spoke to the Committee in support of this fee proposal. They also asked the committee to consider altering the fee structure of various development impact fees (DIF) from the current one based per dwelling unit to a fee structure based on square feet. Since the DIF's are not part of this fee proposal, the committee agreed to review the matter separately. The Committee decided to forward this fee proposal on to the Mayor and Common Council. Financial Impact: It is anticipated that these fee increases would result in increased revenues of$430,000, offset by revenue losses of $315,000 due to lower construction activity, resulting in a net increase of $115,000. However, given the current economic climate and uncertainty, this is highly variable and dependent on the future level of construction activity. Recommendation: That the public hearing relative to the Resolution to adopt updated building permit and plan review fees be closed and the Resolution be adopted. Attachments: Resolution A. Table IA.

As elements of the larger study, various smaller studies, such as time and motion studies of the building inspector's activities and a Fully Burdened Hourly Rate Study, were completed. Where it was considered necessary, the methodologies used or not used were explained so that the reader could better understand the reasoning for using the methodologies chosen. Likewise, to explain the disparity between inspection times and why some inspections were necessary, a detailed explanation of the inspections was given. The last few chapters of this report provides suggestions for updating various permit fees, particularly those for single family tract homes and in-fill homes based on current costs of providing building services. The basis of this report is the master's thesis entitled "Building Inspection Fee Analysis" (April 2007) written by John Dohm and submitted to the College of Business and Public Administration, California State University, San Bernardino. Mr. Dohm served an internship with the Development Services t Department from June 2005 through November 2007, during which time the data compilation and initial analysis was completed. This report was compiled and the financial information updated as of May 2008 by the Building Official, Joseph Lease of the Development Services Department. i l 2 I i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My sincerest thanks to Dr. Lee Hanson who made my internship and research possible, to Joseph Lease, Building Official, who supervised and guided me through this study and to Brenda Leggitt, Building Services Division Clerk and Jack Masters, Senior Building Inspector, who kept me headed in the right direction.

Building permit fees are fees that cover the cost of administering the document (the building permit) and the cost of inspecting the construction for which the permit was issued. The building permit is the enforcement mechanism mandated by the building codes. The building codes mandate that construction plans be reviewed and approved prior to the issuance of a building permit, and that inspections be performed and approved at various stages of the construction process to ensure that construction complies with minimum health, fire, and life safety standards and to provide a minimum threshold of durability and serviceability. Thus, the plan review and inspection processes provide the means to carry out the provisions of the code. The term "building inspection" used throughout this report encompasses inspection of building, electrical, mechanical and plumbing components and systems. The terms "plan review," "plan examination" and "plan check" all refer to the process of reviewing building plans and the administrative tasks necessary to support the review process, such as writing and communicating review corrections or approvals. Fees collected for inspection activities, according to the U.S. Congressional Budget Office, are "regulatory fees", which are a type of user charge. Regulatory fees are payments based on government authority to regulate particular businesses or activities that stem from the sovereign powers of the government. However, in the publications of the various professional organizations made up of building officials throughout the country, and adopted by the state of California, building permit and plan examination fees are sometimes referred to as user fees. In a December 1996 report entitled "Understanding Proposition 218," Marianne O'Malley of the Legislative Analyst's Office of the State of California defined a user fee as follows.. "A fee is a charge imposed on an individual or business for a service or facility provided directly to an individual or business. Local governments charge fees for a wide range of purposes, from park entry fees to building plan check fees. The amount of the fee may not exceed the cost of government to provide the service." The confusion over the definition of building inspection fees is best clarified by West's ANNOTATED CALIFORNIA CODES, CONSTITUTION of the STATE OF CALIFORNIA Articles 10 to 14, Volume 2A, 2006 Cumulative Pocket Part, Page 62. Subsection 17.5 defines a "User Fee" as those which are charged only to the person actually using the service, and the amount of the charge is generally related to the actual goods or services provided and is a monthly charge rather than a one time charge... It is the criteria that the charge be a monthly charge rather than a one time charge (as is the case with building services fees) that excludes building services fees from being a user fee." 6 Subsection 17 on the same page explains "Regulatory fees" as follows: "A regulatory fee may be imposed under the police power of a city, county, or special district, and is not subject to the "super-majority" requirement applicable to special taxes under State Constitution, when the fee constitutes an amount necessary to carry out the purposes and provisions of the regulation; such costs include all those incident to the issuance of the license or permit, investigation, inspection, administration, and maintenance of a system of supervision and enforcement." Subsection 17.5 further states that legislators need only apply sound judgment and consider probabilities according to the best, and honest viewpoint of informed officials in determining the amount of the regulatory fee. Finally, Subsection 17.5 states in part, "Regulatory fees... must not exceed the reasonable cost of the services necessary for the activity for which the fees are charged and for carrying out the purpose of the regulation, and the fees may not be levied for unrelated purposes." Considering the conditions of a regulatory fee—that they may be imposed by a city, county, or special district, and they must be an amount necessary to carry out the purposes and provisions of the regulation, it is clear that building services fees are regulatory fees and not strictly speaking, user fees. Background Both the use and magnitude of regulatory and user fees have continued to grow as California voters have passed legislation such as Propositions 13 and 218. Provisions of Proposition 13 passed in 1978 have limited local government's ability to raise revenues by placing caps on increases in property taxes. By setting the tax rate at 1% of the property's assessed value and limiting the allowable increase in property valuations to a maximum of 2% per year with the exception of new construction and some property transfers, the voters have reduced property tax revenues to local governments. Proposition 218, passed in 1996, further restricted local government's ability to raise revenue by requiring new taxes to be passed by a two-thirds majority of the electorate. To make up for losses in property tax revenues, local governments have increased the use of regulatory and user fees. Problem Statement Local governments should employ equitable methodologies for setting and analyzing building services fees. The methodologies must be able to withstand all tests currently used by the courts to determine whether or not building permit fees charged by counties and cities are reasonable and fair to both the agencies providing these services and the fee payers that use building services. There are two basic tests to determine if a fee is reasonable. 7 The first test consists of determining whether or not the fees charged by the building department, within reason, balance the expenses incurred in providing building permit services with revenues collected in the form of building permit fees on an annual or multi-year basis. The second test consists of determining whether or not the fees charged for individual services such as specific types of building inspections have a reasonable nexus' to the cost of providing those inspections. It is the providers of building services that bear the burden of proof for meeting these tests, in our case, the City of San Bernardino. The City of San Bernardino has adopted the Uniform Administrative Code(UAC), 1997 Edition(UAC), published by the International Code Council (ICC), formerly the International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO). The UAC contains fee tables used by the majority of counties and cities to calculate plan check and building inspection fees. The use of these fee tables are contingent on providing a nexus between the actual fee charged and the cost of the services provided. Jurisdictions that have been ordered by the courts to adopt a fee recovery system that bears a nexus between costs and fees, or those that choose to voluntarily comply with the law, the most common cost recovery methodology is to periodically (every three to five years) recalculate the cost of providing services. If this reevaluation process concludes that revenues exceed costs, then the law requires that any excess revenues be used to offset or reduce fees in future years. Another alternative would be to expend excess revenues in the short term on service improvements where service inefficiencies or shortcomings have been identified, or by expenditures to enhance services based on customer demands. Data The data used in this report was obtained from the City of San Bernardino Building Divisions records, including the building Inspectors' Daily Inspection Logs, databases kept by the City in the PermitsPlus software system, the City's budget and financial records, and personal interviews with the City's building division staff. Additionally, a personal meeting with Mr. Dick McCarthy of Paladin Group, and publications provided to the City by the Paladin Group were used to compare the City's survey data to that collected by the Paladin Group regarding times, activities, and costs required to complete the building inspection process. The data sources utilized for this study are summarized as follows: Logs. The Building Division's inspectors and plan examiners are required to keep daily logs detailing their job-related activities. The administrative staff also keeps logs on all of the division's employees' leave time, such as sick or holiday leave, and meeting and training time. Daily activity logs kept by the inspectors are used to record the type of inspections completed, beginning and ending inspection times, disposition of It appears that the Court's preference for a "nexus", or causal link, beyond a simple relationship, is to make the point that the cost of providing building services must stay constantly linked to the fees charged for those services and not just bear a floating relationship to each other. 8 a each inspection, driving time, and the occurrence and duration of meetings and training activities. The Annual Inspection Calls Completed Report from the Permits Plus database indicates that the number of inspections completed per year, over the multi-year period that was examined in this report, averaged 15,634 per year. Databases. The City uses Permits Plus software to archive their building permit and plan examination data. This PermPlus database is the source of the majority of the data utilized in this study. Inspection information is accessed by permit number, street address, assessor's parcel number or date, and consists of the inspection type, inspector's number, inspection dates, beginning and ending time, elapsed time and re- inspections required. Personal Interviews. Personal interviews with Building Division Staff included formal and informal converstions with Mr. Joseph Lease, the City's Building Official, and daily conversations with: Jack Masters, Senior Building Inspector; Gene Cahoon, Building Inspector III; Tom Odell, Building Inspector III; Ron Gaston, Building Inspector II; Barry Reynolds, Building Inspector II; Mike Hansen, Building Inspector II; Richard Lawson, Building Inspector I; and Tony Meyers, Building Inspector I. Written Reports. Mr. Dick McCarthy of the Paladin Group analyzed the City's building permit and plan examination fees using his methodology for calculating the estimated reasonable cost of providing building services for tract homes. His analysis and supporting data regarding costs of providing building services and the legal issues that pertain to building services fees are presented in Mr. McCarthy's reports. Data presented in the reports has been used to compare the City's findings and opinions with those of Mr. McCarthy and other jurisdictions that he has reviewed. Fiscal Documents. The City's Budget Reports for Fiscal Years 1998/1999 through 2007/2008 were used to collect revenue, expense and personnel data. Related Literature. Several important documents have been utilized in this study and are noted below. The Fee Committee of the San Diego Area Chapter of the International Conference of Building Officials published "A Guide for Justifying Building Department Fees" (1994, private publication). This document reviews applicable Government Codes, discusses the Attorney General's Opinion No. 92-506, and presents the Total Cost/Total Revenue Methodology of analyzing and calculating fees.

Building inspection and plan review fees are within the larger category of regulatory fees. As stated in the preceding chapter, it is the intent of the voters of the State of California that regulatory fees not exceed the reasonable cost of providing services to the specific users of those services. It is also the intent of the voters that any revenues collected as regulatory fees that exceed the reasonable cost of providing the specific service for which they were collected be used to reduce future fees for providing those services. It is the widespread practice of charging excessive fees and using them as general fund revenues that has necessitated the involvement of the courts in the dispute between the building community and their watchdog groups and local governments. Until a recent court decision drew a distinction between excess fees and special taxes, excess fees were considered illegal taxes because they had not been approved by the required two-thirds majority vote of the electorate. Federal Laws The federal government's involvement in building inspection and plan review fees and indirect activities necessary to support building services is limited. Forms of involvement consist of the constitutional guarantees of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, the U.S. Supreme Court's oversight of the lower courts, and the provision of guidelines for recovering cost for regulatory and administrative activities. The Fifth Amendment's requirement that both the nature and extent of the dedication required of the applicant be roughly proportional to the proposed development's impact is one of the guiding principles behind the requirement that user fees not exceed the cost of providing the service they support. However, enforcement and administration of building department services lies mainly with the state and local governments. State Laws The laws governing building permit and plan review fees in California have three main sources. The first are adoptions and amendments of building regulations to the California Code of Regulations, Title 24, by order of the California Legislature; and regulations by other organizations with authority delegated by the State Legislature. The second source consists of bills by the state legislature, initiatives, and referendums. Third is the judicial system that creates the common laws of the state through court decisions. The Uniform Building Code (UBC), as adopted by the state, anticipates that many jurisdictions will establish their own fee schedule using either the fee tables contained in Part 2 of the California Building Code or another methodology adopted by the jurisdiction. Section 107, FEES AND PLAN REVIEW, states the intent of the California Building Standards Law regarding building fees in subsections 107.1 and 107.1.1, 2001 11 California Building Code 1, California Code of Regulations Title 24 Part 2 Volume 1, Page 1-6.7. It states that "Fees shall be assessed in accordance with the provisions of this section or shall be as set forth in the fee schedule adopted by the jurisdiction." Authority to collect building permit and plan review fees is set forth in the State Housing Law, Health and Safety Code, Division 13, Part 1.5, Section 17951. At the state and local level the statutory regulations and government codes pertaining to building permit and plan review fees are woven into the statutes dealing with taxation based on what the fees are and are not. California Government Code Sections 66005 through 66024 of the Mitigation Fee Act specifically regulate building permit and inspection fees. The maximum amount that can be charged for building permit and plan review fees is set by Govt Code Section 66014,Subd. (a), which states that"Notwithstanding any other provision of law, when a local agency charges fees for . . . use permits; building inspections; building permits; . . . those fees may not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee is charged, unless a question regarding the amount of the fee charged in excess of the estimated reasonable cost of providing the services or materials is submitted to and approved by a popular vote of two- thirds of those electors voting on the issue."(West's 224) Govt Code Section 66016 Subd.(a) explains when, to what extent, and in what manner prior public notice of any fee change must be given and how excess funds must be handled: "Prior to levying a new fee or service charge, or prior to approving an increase in an existing fee or service charge, a local agency shall hold at least one open and public meeting, at which oral or written presentations can be made . . . Notice of the time and place of the meeting . . . and a statement that the data required by this section is available, shall be mailed at least 14 days prior to the meeting to any interested party who files a written request." (West's 225) This section also outlines how any excess funds that are created are to be discharged: "Unless there has been voter approval, as prescribed by Section 66013 or 66014, no local agency shall levy a new fee or service charge or increase an existing fee or service charge to an amount which exceeds the estimated amount required to provide the service for which the fee or service charge is levied. If, however, the fees or service charges create revenues in excess of actual cost, those revenues shall be used to reduce the fee or service charge creating the excess." (West's 225 & 226) Case Law Locally imposed user fees have been challenged in the courts, and the courts become involved in resolving disputes over fees for building services. These disputes include what constitutes a permit or plan review fee, which methodologies for calculating building services fees do and do not comply with current state laws, when fees are excessive, and what remedies should apply to their misuse. In 2001 in Barratt American Inc. v. County of Orange, the Superior Court of California (Case No. 814037 related to 01 CC04025), ruled on the following issues. 12 i f S E k Issue No. 1: What manner or method must the County of Orange use to satisfy its duty under Government Code 66016(a)? A. The County must use surplus fee revenue to reduce the fees charged to fee payers. Additionally, the Court may use its equitable power to compel a public agency to comply with its statutory duties, and a writ of mandate may be used to enforce the County's statutory duty if it fails to satisfy its duty under Govt Code 66016(a). B. OMB A-87 per GC 549852 has nothing to do with the method of disposing of the existing surplus. Furthermore, under OMB A-87 the County may retain a portion of the fee revenue, to provide services and for committed services (next year inspections) in the Health and Safety Fund. However, under OMB A-87 treating the Fund balance as a contingency reserve for emergencies (natural disasters) is not allowable, as contingencies are not allowable indirect costs. C. If the County's budget reflects user fees based on allowable costs per OMB A-87 and the County's expenditures of surpluses . . . reduces its need for revenue to meet the costs of providing services, reducing future user fees, this is an acceptable method of meeting the County's duty under GC 66016(a). Issue No. 2: Approximately $2.5 Million lost from the Building and Safety Fund in the County's bankruptcy action should not be considered a part of the total surplus of revenue subject to the County's duty under GC 66016(a). The State Court lacks the jurisdiction (the Bankruptcy Court has exclusive jurisdiction) to make an order that, in practical effect, would conflict with or invalidate the Bankruptcy Court's order. More recently (2005), the Supreme Court of California in Barratt American v. The City of Rancho Cucamonga clarified five disputes, affirming four lower court decisions and setting aside one decision. Justice J. Chin wrote the court's decision, recorded in 2005 Cal. LEXIS 14240; 2005 Daily Journal DAR 14715, Files December 22, 2005. Issue 1. First, it was the decision of the court that the individual refunds remedy and limitations period under Sections 66020 and 66021 do not apply to the building permit fees. Secondly, The California Legislative Council has similarly concluded that Section 66020 does not include fees associated with plan review or inspection fees, leading the court to conclude that the Legislature did not intend that this section authorize refunds of overcharges of building permit or plan review fees. Third, required fees by Health and Safety Code do not relate to development projects, instead they fund programs that supervise "how" not "whether" builders build. Finally, the remedies within Section 66016, which apply to building permit fees, state that the remedy for overcharges that create revenues in excess of actual costs is to use those revenues to reduce the fee or service charge creating the excess. 'Federal Government Office of Management and Budget Circular A-87 limits the indirect cost that may be charged by a state or county government enforcing any regulation. Government Code Section 54985-54988 of California Codes (a)states that a county board of supervisors shall have the authority to increase or decrease the fee or charge ...necessary to recover the cost of providing any service or the cost of enforcing any regulation. 13 Because Section 66016 applies specifically to building fees, it prevails over the more general statutes that might otherwise seem to conflict with it. (See San Francisco Taxpayers Assn.v.Bd. of Supervisors (1992) 2 Cal.41h 571, 577-578 [7 /Cal. Rptr. 2d 245, 828 P.2d 147].) (2005 Daily Journal DAR 14715) Issue 2. It is the court's opinion that simply because a fee exceeds the reasonable cost of providing the service or regulatory activity for which it is charged does not transform it into a tax. (See Alamo Rent-A-Car, Inc. V. Board of Supervisors (1990) 221 Cal. App. 3d 198, 205-206 [272 Cal. Rptr. 191 ["reverse logic" does not compel the conclusion that an allegedly excess fee was a tax].) Section 66000 provides the exclusive remedy for overcharges. If actual revenues exceed actual costs, the City must make a prospective fee adjustment by using that surplus, in lieu of fee revenue, to cover future expenses. (66016. Subd. (a).) It cannot refund the excess or transfer it to the City's general fund to replace or augment tax revenue. (See Health and Safety. Code, 17951, subd. (c). [local permit fees "shall not be levied for general revenue purposes"], 19132.3 [same].) Accordingly, the dollar-for-dollar penalty or offset allowed by Section 53728 does not apply to Barratt's claim. (See Sinclair Paint Co.), supra, 15 Cal. 4th at p. 876 ["Special taxes" in Article XIII A, Section 4, of the California constitution do not include regulatory fees that do not exceed the reasonable cost of providing services necessary to the activity for which the fee is charged and that are not levied for unrelated revenue purposes]. Issue 3. In the court's opinion, neither Section 1.5 nor Section 8 of Article XIII B states that those costs must be actual costs, rather than reasonable estimates, or that the fee-cost relationship must be determined over the course of a single year. Issue 4. In the court's opinion, the 2002 reenactment of the previous building permit and plan review fees constitute a "modification or amendment of an existing fee or service charge." (66022 Subd. (a).) Resolution No. 02-023 changed the duration of the fee by extending its applicability, and by implication its validity. When the City adopted that resolution, it implicitly represented that the building permit and plan review fees continued to be valid. This determination would have or should have required some type of accounting of operating expenses and revenues, resulting in surplus revenues, a deficit, or no required change in the fees. The court considering Barratt American's argument that the City's reenactment of its building permit fees as part of a revised comprehensive fee resolution is analogous to legislation at the state level that amends a portion of a statute while leaving the unamended portion unchanged. Under the "reenactment rule" of statutory interpretation, the unamended portion of the statute is reenacted with the enactment of the amendment, so that the statute is deemed to have been acted on as a whole. (See Brown v. Superior Court (1982) 33 Cal.3d 242, 251-252 [188 Cal. Rptr. 655 P.2d 1260); People v. Scott (1987) 194 Cal. App. 3d 550, 554-556 [239 Cal. Rptr. 588].) After consideration, the court concluded that Barratt could seek to invalidate the building permit and plan review fees in resolution No. 02-023 and that its challenge was timely as to applicable claims arising after January 16, 2002, the effective date of the resolution. (Brown 9) 14 In the final case (Case No., RIC 359371) the court rejected a methodology for determining building services, reaffirming that methodologies that lack a nexus between costs and revenues will not pass judicial scrutiny. In The Paladin Fair Housing Coalition, Inc., et al. V. City of Corona, et al., Superior Court Judge E. Michael Kaiser rejected the city's methodology of determining whether or not Corona's building department was charging fees in excess of the cost of providing services. The city's methodology consisted of: • An estimate the time to conduct building inspections and plan reviews by interviewing building department employees. • Averaging nine years of actual revenue plus one year of projected revenue for the current year. • A comparison of the average revenue figure with the projected budget cost of providing building services for the current year to determine whether revenues and costs balanced, revenues exceeded costs, or revenues fell short of costs. In the opinion of the court, the comparison of nine years of actual revenue plus one year of projected revenue against one year of projected cost does not meet the statutory requirement of determining if fees exceed the estimated cost to perform the service. By definition the ninth year of revenue, which is evidence of actual revenue, averaged with the budgeted revenue and the other eight years of actual revenue will reduce the ninth year actual revenue and correspondingly any excess revenue over cost. This imprecise method of determining the fee does not comply with Government code 66014 and 66016. (Portillo p. 5,6). Portillo, "Statement of Intended Decision, The Paladin Fair Housing Coalition, Inc., et al.vs. City of Corona, et. al." Superior Court of California, County of Riverside, May 14, 2003. Conclusion Building permit and plan review fees and their legal environment are framed by the U.S. constitution, the California Constitution, the regulations and statues of the state of California, and the case law created by the courts. On the federal level, police power authorizes the collection of building permit and plan review fees and mandates a rough proportionality between the costs of services to the benefit they provide. On the state level, the Constitution, statutes, regulations, codes and case law create and control the structure, the processes (mainly fee determination methodologies), and boundaries of building permit and plan review fees. Methodologies that do not comply with the government codes will not pass judicial scrutiny. t 15 CHAPTER 3 - COST RECOVERY METHODOLOGIES Introduction The methodologies used in this study fall into one of two categories. The first category analyzes the balance between total costs incurred providing building inspection services and the total revenues (fees) charged to the applicants for those services. The second is a more detailed analysis in line item form that is used to analyze and project the fee amounts needed to recover the cost of providing the individual building services. For a cost recovery methodology to be viable it should be physically possible, financially feasible, and able to pass judicial scrutiny. To be physically possible, there must exist data that can be collected and analyzed sufficiently to yield the desired result. In the case of this study the city's records were sufficient to utilize the methodology employed. Financial feasibility requires that the benefit from employing a particular methodology be greater than the burden placed on the city by the methodology. When the consequences of the risk of litigation were weighed against the cost of utilizing the methodology used in this study the methodology was considered to be feasible. Of absolute necessity is that the methodology be able to pass judicial scrutiny. California law is filled with court decisions that have invalidated methodologies that the courts did not consider to be in compliance with the requirements or intent of the laws that govern building services fees. The methodologies used in this study were chosen because they are considered to be in compliance with state laws and recent judicial decisions regarding building service fees. In addition to the methodology discussed in the previous section that was rejected by the courts, there are four common methodologies, which are discussed below. The first methodology is a retrospective analysis of costs and revenues used to determine whether or not the Building Division's plan check or building inspection fees have been set at the proper level. The remaining three methodologies (proposed fee methodologies) are different in that they all attempt to create fee schedules to be used to calculate building inspection and plan review fees. This section explains the different methodologies and then discusses why they are or are not considered acceptable. The following criteria were given primary weight in the decision regarding which of the fee methodologies to use in this study. First, there should be a nexus between the costs borne by the city in connection with providing inspection services and the costs borne by the individuals paying building permit fees. For example, types of costs not incurred in providing building services should not be used to calculate building permit fees. Second, the cost of performing the study and calculating new fees must be less than the cost of leaving fees low or risking litigation. Third, the data used should be taken from the actual tasks performed in the process of providing inspection services, as opposed to opinions of the effects or results of hypothetical situations. 16 Methodologies using actual data collected from the City of San Bernardino's financial records and the building department's inspection records were chosen to determine the reasonable cost of building services. The minimum dwelling size difference necessary to cause a reliable change in inspection time was assumed to be 200 square feet. As a test of the overall fee cost recovery levels for the building division as a whole, the Total Cost/Total Revenue Methodology was chosen. Of the prospective methodologies, those that utilize economic forecasting, rounding (early in the process of calculating fees), opinions, or those that required the use of indexes with no identifiable relationship to the cost of building services were rejected. Total Cost/Total Revenue Methodoloqy The "Total Cost/Total Revenue Methodology" (TC/TR), which calculates the total annual costs of building services and estimates the total revenue needed to fund those costs, is a useful tool for retrospective analysis. This methodology can be applied to the Building & Safety Division (BSD) as a whole or to each individual Section of the BSD such as building inspection or plans examination. The TC/TR methodology is used to compare the total revenues to the total expenses of the unit being analyzed to determine whether or not the fees being charged are reasonable, too high, or too low. This methodology has also been used as one part of a two-part test by the courts to determine whether or not building fees charged by jurisdictions are excessive. When used in conjunction with one of the other methodologies that focus on individual tasks, such as specific inspection types, this methodology makes it apparent whether or not the sum of the parts truly equals the whole regarding each division's revenues and expenses. The TC/TR methodology is also preferred by jurisdictions which have limited resources because it is the least costly of the methodologies. The courts prefer this methodology to most of the others because of its close nexus to the jurisdiction's actual income and expense accounting system, which makes it easy to understand and hard to manipulate. The Total Cost/Total Revenue Methodology was first presented in "A Guide for Justifying Building Department Fees,"published in 1994 by the San Diego Chapter of the International Council of Building Officials. This seven-step methodology was then modified and republished by Michael Bouse in his publication "Establishing Building Permit Fees," as a six-step methodology. Below is an explanation of the six-step process. The total cost/total revenue methodology involves identifying all costs of services rendered by a unit(s) of government and all revenues (fees) received for those services. The next step is to allocate the costs and revenues to the unit(s) of government from which they have been generated. For this study the costs and revenues have been allocated to the Building and Safety Division. Next, the entire exercise is repeated and the costs and revenues are allocated between the Building Inspection and Plan Examination Sections separately. Finally, for both exercises, the costs incurred by each specific unit are totaled and then subtracted from the total revenues (fees) collected from service users. In this methodology, all sources of revenues, including building, plumbing, electrical and mechanical permit fees are taken into consideration. 17 Division Cost/Revenue Analysis Following are the six steps involved in the total cost/total revenue methodology along with discussions of each step for the Building Inspection Section. Multiyear cost/revenue tables are provided in Chapter 5: Step 1. Identify all services rendered by the Section. Services provided include building inspection and building code enforcement in regards to construction projects throughout the City and such costs are recoverable through building permit fees. One minor exception is the Mobile Home Park Inspection Program (MHPIP), which funds a portion (approximate 1/3) of an inspector, the Mobile Home Park Inspector, through "permit to operate"fees. The remainder of this inspector is funded through MHP building permits and other building permits. These costs and revenues are included in the overall totals in the analysis. Step 2. Review and group services by type (public or private goods) and user(permit applicant or general public) after all Building Division services have been listed. The purpose of this step is to identify which services should be recovered from the specific users and which services benefit and should be recovered from the general public (State tax revenues). The services provided are direct services provided to private individuals, with the exception of the MHPIP as noted above, and are recoverable through permit fees. Step 3. Identify the funding source for each group of services. In this step, a determination is made by the jurisdiction regarding how each group of services identified in Step 2 is to be funded. In this step it is important that there is a nexus between costs and revenues. If the costs were incurred in the building inspection process, the revenues collected (and allocated) must be to cover those costs, and not the costs of other services. In the City of San Bernardino, inspection services fees are collected directly from building permit applicants, with the exception of the mobile home inspection program funds, which are collected from mobile home park owners as annual permit to operate fees. Step 4. Estimate the total costs of services to be funded by users. In this step, the costs of services identified in Step 3 were taken from the City's budget reports and adjusted to account for departmental and general city overhead. It is the intent of the city that all costs of providing building inspection and plan examination services be recovered by charging user fees. Permits issued during one fiscal year may require services in the following fiscal year. For example, fees may be collected for permits for a housing tract late in the current fiscal year, however, the inspection services may not be requested until after the start of the next fiscal year or thereafter. Situations such as this will give the impression that the agency is charging more for building services than it is spending on them in the first year, when the fees are received. Conversely, in the second year when the cost of providing the building services is realized it will appear that the agency is not recovering the full cost 18 of providing services. The cost of this "work-in-progress liability" should be noted so that revenues from the first year can be credited to the second year so that an accurate cost/revenue relationship can be calculated. Step 5. Compare total costs to total revenues. This is done on an annual and multi-year basis. A multi-year analysis will indicate whether losses in some years outweigh overages in other years, whether the overages outweigh the losses and by how much or whether cost and revenues are reasonably balanced. Step 6. Evaluate noted differences between total costs and total revenues. Due to fluctuations in service demand and permit activity, there may be a surplus of revenues in one year, and a revenue shortfall the following year. Adjusting fees or services based upon annual activity fluctuations would be extremely difficult and impractical. Comparing revenues and costs over a multi-year period was considered as a practical and defensible approach. Another approach to compare costs and revenues is an analysis over a "building activity cycle". Such an analysis would compare service costs and revenues averaged over the most recent period in which permit activity level ranged from a period of high activity, through a period of low activity, and back to a period of high activity. This "building activity cycle" approach results in averaging costs and revenues over longer periods of time. However, if the cycle is very long, the data becomes less relevant with age. If total revenues equal total costs no adjustment to fees is indicated. If total revenues exceeded total costs, a decrease in fees is indicated. However, before decreasing fees, it is necessary to verify that consideration has been given to work-in-progress liabilities. Next, the revenue surplus should be averaged with revenue surpluses or shortages for the number of fiscal years being considered in order to arrive at a single or multi-year cost recovery average. If the balance is positive after averaging the years being used, the excess should be used to reduce future fees. If the average of the years examined produces a revenue surplus, it would be appropriate to examine the level of service rendered by the department. If the level of service is deemed low, excess revenues should be used to improve the service level, for example hiring additional departmental personnel or investing in technology (hardware and software) to increase service delivery or quality. If the service level is deemed appropriate, then reducing fees may be necessary to comply with Government Code Section 66016. The costs used in this section refers to the expenditures made or budgeted for building inspection services by the City, as well as the Division's proportional share of departmental overhead and city administrative overhead. Tables 5A, 56, and 5C in Chapter 5 provide information regarding the Divisional relationship of cost to revenue over the past 10 years. 19 Uniform Administrative Code Fee Tables As have most jurisdictions, the City of San Bernardino has historically used the fee tables contained in the Uniform Administrative Code, published by ICBO. These tables are based on a structure's use (e.g. business, factory, residential, etc.) and construction type which serves to differentiate buildings based on size and complexity. The tables provide a fee formula which is based on the construction valuation of a building. A building's valuation is computed by multiplying the square feet of the building by a costs/sq. ft. factor. These cost factors, or Building Valuation Data, are published by the International Code Council (ICC) periodically, and are based on national construction cost averages. The concept of determining the cost of building department services based on a structure's valuation is based on the proposition that the valuation of a structure is related to the amount of work to be expended in plan review, inspections and administering the permit, and that such costs are reasonably related to a building's complexity and size. Table 3A. Permit Fee Formula Building Permit Fee Table Total Valuation Fee $1 to$500 $15.00 $501 to$2,000 $15.00 for the first$500 plus$2.00 for each additional$100,or fraction thereof,to and including$2000. $45.00 for the first$2,000+$9.00 for each$1,000 or fraction thereof,to and including 52,001 to$25,000 $25,000 $25,001 to$50,000 $252.00 for the first$25,000+$6.50 for each$1,000 or fraction thereof,to and including $50,000 $50,001 to$100,000 $414.50 for the first$50,000+$4.50 for each$1,000 or fraction thereof,to and including $100,000 $100,001 to$500,000 $639.50 for the first$100,000+$3.50 for each$1,000 or fraction thereof,to and including$500,000 $500,001 to$1,000,000 $2,039.50 for the first$500,000+$3.00 for each$1,000 or fraction thereof,to and including$1,000,000 $1,000,001 and u $3,539.50 for the first$1,000,000+$2.00 for each additional$1,000 or fraction thereof Source: 1991 Uniform Administrative Code In order for the use of this method to be valid, a nexus between the fee charged and the service provided must be established. The Total Cost/Total Revenue methodology provides a basic nexus, however the method described in the next section provide a much stronger connection. Average Time/Cost Methodology The primary goal of this analysis is to provide fees based on the reasonably estimated costs of the services provided. Therefore, the methodology used to complete this analysis involved collecting and analyzing data directly from the building inspectors' daily logs to develop average inspection service times. This was done for various groupings of construction projects for which permits were obtained, and where 20 adequate sample sizes were available to provide a reasonable degree of reliability. The following steps were taken to estimate reasonable inspection fees for building inspection services in the City of San Bernardino. Step 1. All services rendered by the Building Division were identified. The costs of all of the services analyzed should be recovered through user fee charges. Step 2. Direct activities and the times required to perform them (i.e. inspector's onsite inspections, writing correction notices, explaining needed corrections, and completing inspection records),and indirect activities required to support the services were separated. Examples of support activities are driving to and from required stops, office, and administrative activities. Average driving and contingent times were calculated separately from the direct activity times. Nonproductive time, such as leave and training time, were accounted for in the calculation of the Fully Burdened Hourly Rate for inspections. Step 3. In the case of residential construction, samples were grouped by size in ranges of 200 square feet, and consisting of sets of approximately 25 homes each. This was done for both tract homes and custom homes constructed on in-fill lots. Step 4. Inspection time required to perform the various activities was collected from the inspectors' daily logs and recorded into tables to be analyzed. Step 5. The average time required to complete each inspection type in the different size groups was calculated. The average individual inspection times were aggregated into one average inspection time for each dwelling size range. Step 6. The average available workdays for inspectors using the method shown in the Cost/Recovery Section was calculated. Step 7. The cost of inspection services using the method shown in the Cost/Recovery Section was calculated. Step 8. Non-variable costs and contingent costs identified in the Cost/Recovery Section were added to calculate the total cost of providing inspections. Step 9. The fully burdened rate was calculated by dividing the cost of providing inspection services by the average available working hours in a year. Step 10. The cost of providing custom and tract home inspection services was calculated by multiplying the fully burdened hourly rate (in dollars) by the time required to perform the inspection services including non-variable and contingent costs. 21 Conclusion The practicability of any methodology to determine the level of fees for services requires the consideration of, and is limited by, several factors. Two of these, the availability and accuracy of inspection data, and the time and costs of analysis, are crucial to feasibility and achieving the ultimate goal of a reliable outcome. It is noted that this study consumed an estimated 2600 labor hours to collect and analyze the data, and to develop this report. Given this fact, it would not be practical to repeat this process on an annual basis. Further automation of building inspection processes should make data collection and analysis much more efficient in the future. Any annual comparison of the cost of services and the revenues collected to pay for such services is only a "snapshot in time." The process of adjusting fees in order to match costs with revenues is extremely dynamic, since both sides of the equation are always in flux. While every attempt should be made to balance costs with revenues to the degree that is reasonably possible, uncontrollable circumstances will always be ever-present. Be they weather, changes in staff efficiency or effectiveness, the quality of tradesmen, changes in inspection mandates, fluctuations in building activity, and the inability of government to allocate resources quickly when faced with changes in the demand for services, it is unlikely that the equation will be in balance in any given year. Keeping these variables in mind, it is apparent that no methodology for determining building services fees can be totally accurate or perfect. Nor must it be, since the legal mandate for any given fee is that it is reflective of a reasonable estimation of the cost of the service provided. 22 ti i CHAPTER 4- INSPECTIONS i Introduction Any study of the cost of providing building inspections would be meaningless without understanding what must be accomplished during the inspections and at what level of service they are to be performed. The Building Inspection Process Section of this chapter lists the items that are inspected during each inspection, and the Service Level Section explains what is considered a high, medium or low level of service. Though the California Code is specific regarding when building inspections are to be performed, there is no model or guidelines detailing the steps to be taken during the individual inspections. For this reason, inspections and the amounts of time needed to perform them may vary from one jurisdiction to another. This chapter explains the different building inspections, including their constituent tasks, and why they are done. Program Basis The Building Division of the City of San Bernardino performs 16 different inspections for every dwelling that is constructed within the City. These inspections have been adopted and are required by the state Department of Housing and Community Development, the California Building Standards Codes, and the Division and are deemed necessary to ensure compliance with the provisions of the codes. The individual inspections are listed in Addendum A in this report along with the items that must be inspected.3 Inspection Variables There is a large disparity between the number, complexity of, and area occupied by items that must be inspected during the different building inspections. These variations result in a disparity in the amount of time needed to perform an inspection. Ultimately the time required determines the cost of providing building inspection services. For example, reading a gas meter during a gas test can be done while standing in one spot, only considering whether or not the needle has moved. On the other hand a framing inspection requires understanding and verifying the use of lumber, the hardware used to fasten it, and the effects of notching or boring the lumber, et cetera. But even more apt to cause inspection times to vary are corrections that have to be written and explained. 3 Unless otherwise noted in this chapter, the explanations of the building inspections were the result of interviews with J. Masters, Senior Building Inspector, on December 14, and 15, of 2005. 23 Other tasks such as writing correction notices, explaining what needs to be corrected, and re-inspecting building components to assure that the corrections were made, seriously impacts the cost of performing each inspection and ultimately the cost of the building inspection program as a whole. Conversely, during the inspection process, grouping inspections to increase efficiency and reduce costs by reducing the amount of time needed for inspectors to perform individual inspections has become an industry paradigm. Either dissimilar inspections can be performed at the same time or the same inspection can be performed for two or more structures. During the foundation inspection, inspectors typically verify that the LIFER (electrical grounding rod) has been installed next to the reinforcing steel. The inspection of the sewer and water services may or may not occur during the same visit to the jobsite. One of the most common groupings of building inspections occurs during the final inspection process. Typically the building, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical finals are performed simultaneously. Service Level Knowing which tasks have to be performed is only a part of understanding why building inspections require the time and effort that they do. To totally understand the inspection process it is necessary to understand the level of services that are expected. For example, it would be less costly for an inspector to approve roof sheathing or any other construction component without getting out of his/her vehicle, or from the curb without having to look at the entire construction component being inspected. Likewise, a plans examiner or building inspector that skipped over items that did not meet code requirements, or was short with the permit applicants and did not bother to suggest alternatives to unacceptable construction items, could address more items in a day, but would accomplish less for the client. The Table 4A in this section identifies the levels that are considered to be appropriate for the various objectives listed. Appropriate service levels are listed for both the building inspectors and the plans examiners, however, the two categories are listed separately to avoid confusion. The methodologies used in this report were taken from the 1991 City Manager's Department of the League of California Cities paper entitled, A 'How To' Guide For Assessing Effective Service Levels in California Cities. While the guide's performance measures and service levels were considered, the methodologies were not strictly conformed to for this report. Service levels listed in Table 4A, are intended to represent different areas on a service continuum, with "high" meaning the greatest level of service, "medium" meaning a level of service between high and "low", and low meaning the lowest level of service. Under Table 4A is an explanation of which of the service levels is considered to be the building department's appropriate level or minimum standard. The service level expectations of the Division of the City of San Bernardino are that the building inspectors will perform their duties at or above the levels identified as medium. However, the goal is to provide effective service levels identified in Table 4A as high. Discussions with Mr. Masters indicated that the building inspectors were currently performing at or near the medium service level in all categories. 24 Table 4A. BUILDING INSPECTION SERVICES Effective Service Levels for Building Inspectors Goals: To ensure that building improvements within the City of San Bernardino are constructed and maintained in compliance with the city's adopted Health and Safety Codes, Energy Efficiency Standards,Accessibility Regulations and any other building requirements of the City of San Bernardino, in a timely,efficient and effective manner.

Note:For inspections to be scheduled on the next day they should be called-in before 2:00 PM on the previous day. Conclusion Any analysis of the reasonableness of building inspection fees to be charged to permit applicants should take into account the services that are offered, the level of services that are intended to be provided, and whether or not the services or service levels are at their intended level or need to be improved. If during analysis of building services it is determined that either the quantity or quality of building inspection services is lacking, additional time and fees should be allocated in the future to provide proper inspection services and resources. At the conclusion of this study it was determined that services were at least at a minimum acceptable level and considered adequate such that no adjustments to inspection times was necessary. However, it is the Division's goal to strive to improve 25 the delivery, breadth, and quality of services provided to the development community and to develop and maintain a competitive edge, in comparison to other jurisdictions. This is in line with and supportive of the City's goals of community improvement through business creation and retention,job creation, and improvement and expansion of the built environment. 26 CHAPTER 5- BUILDING SERVICES DIVISION COST/REVENUE ANALYSIS Introduction A multi-year cost/revenue analysis can be done to look for patterns of excess cost recovery or under recovery. The Total Cost/Total Revenue Methodology is used here as a test of the reasonableness of the Building Division's fees. The cost data contained in these tables was obtained from the City of San Bernardino's Budget Summaries for fiscal years 1998-99 through 2007-08. Revenue data was obtained from reports generated from the Department's PermitsPlus Database. TABLE 5A.

During the two peak years increased inspection demand and a staffing shortage resulted in excess revenues. To determine the Building Division's proportional share of department overhead the department's administrative expenditures are multiplied by the ratio of divisional employees to departmental employees and is summarized in the following table.

General City Overhead costs noted in Tables 5A—5C represent the Building Division's portion of the City's administration cost (i.e. city management, city attorney, payroll, risk management, etc). The portion attributable to the Building Inspection Division is calculated by multiplying the overhead factor(0.2586) by the sum of the Building Division budget plus department overhead. The overhead factor of 0.2586 was determined in the City's Cost Allocation Plan and provided by the City Manager's Office. Conclusion The cost and revenue figures shown in Tables 5A-5C in this chapter illustrate that neither costs nor revenues remain constant from one year to another. The balance between costs and revenues fluctuates from year to year based primarily on two factors, 1) The ebb and flow of construction activity, and 2) fluctuations in costs due to the City's efforts to adjust resources to meet changing inspection demand. 29 i CHAPTER 6— NEW RESIDENTIAL TIME AND COST STUDY Introduction Since 2001, and with the exception of the last 2 quarters, housing construction has been a significant portion of overall construction activity in the City. Residential housing construction takes three forms; new tract homes, new infill homes, and additions or alterations to existing homes. In order to arrive at a fee structure for residential construction that is based on estimated reasonable costs, a review of each of these forms of residential construction is undertaken in this chapter. Tract Home Inspection Times The Division's building inspectors complete a daily activity log which includes arrival and departure times for inspections. In addition, they currently complete a scantron form after each inspection which is used to upload the inspection results into the PermitsPlus database. Scantron forms also include elapsed time entries. The data for the tables compiled in this chapter was collected from these two sources. In addition to inspection times, other labor time necessary to the inspection process must be accounted for and recorded. For example, "non-variable constant time" (as noted in the tables) represents indirect activities that are needed to perform building inspections and includes "drive time". Drive time is the product of the average time needed to complete a trip from the inspector's office to an inspection site or from one site to another, multiplied by the number of trips necessary to complete the inspection process for the structure. Both the average trip time and average number of trips per home were determined. Both surveys are contained in Addendum B at the end of the report. The building inspections that are required for new homes are listed in the tables along with their average times. In addition, the average "re-inspection"time is included. When an inspector finds deficiencies on a jobsite he/she is required to issue a Correction Notice and the work must be reinspected at a later date once the corrections are made by the builder. "Additional Contingency &Average Reserve Time" is taken from the Paladin Report. The last item is also an allowance for extraordinary or atypical amounts of time that are occasionally required during building inspections but that do not routinely occur. This item was taken from the Paladin Report prepared by Dick McCarthy of Paladin Group resulting from discussions with local building officials in the San Bernardino area, received June 13, 2005 by the City of San Bernardino. At the bottom of each table all direct and indirect time measurements required for the building inspection process are totaled. These represent average times derived from the sample sets. The average total inspection times calculated in these tables is used later in this study to calculate the cost of providing inspection services and to develop a fee schedule for tract homes. 30 I 6 TABLE 6A Building Inspection Times for Tract Homes - 1600-1800 Sq.

The overwhelming majority of homes built in recent years fell within this overall size range. Thus, it was not feasible to create sample sets of larger and smaller homes since an adequate sample size was not available. FIGURE 6-F— Inspection Time Deviation Based on Size—Tract Homes Inspection Hours 7.00 6.85 6.80 6:29 -- 6.00 5.45 5.28 5.00 4.00 3.00 MInspection Hours 2.00 1.00 0.00 1600- 1800- 2000- 2200- 2400- 1800 2000 2200 2400 2600 Home Size Ranges The first inspection time (5.45 hours) and the last (6.80 hours) were used to calculate the change in inspection times as home sizes changed. Table 6F below lists the incremental change in inspection times based on incremental changes in structure square footage for tract homes. The table was laid-out with home sizes divided into 100 square foot increments. The 100 square foot increments are considered to be the minimum change in structure size required to change the amount of effort needed to inspect the additional square footage. The following steps were used to analyze the changes in inspection times: Step 1. A deviation in inspection times was calculated by subtracting the minimum home inspection hours (5.45) from the maximum home inspection hours (6.80), taken from Figure 6-1. The difference in the maximum inspection time compared to the minimum inspection time is 1.35 hours. Step 2. The 1.35 hour deviation in inspection times was divided by the number 8 (the number of 100 sf increments from the midpoint of the first sample range(1700) to the midpoint of the last(2500))to calculate the incremental change in inspection times for each increase in home size. The product of this calculation is 0.16875 of an hour. 36 Step 3. The 2100 square foot home size, with an indicated 6.29 hour inspection time, was chosen as a beginning point. Step 4. As the square footage increased or decreased by 100 square feet, 0.16875 of an hour was added to or subtracted from the previous figure, until a minimum of 1400 square foot and maximum of 6100 square foot had been reached.

Certain economies of scale exist for tract homes that result in lower inspection time, and ultimately lower inspection costs, as compared to in-fill homes. For example, a typical instance where economies of scale come into play is with a series of tract home building inspections involving multiple gas line tests performed at one time. During gas line tests, an inspector will check one pressure meter to be sure the system has 10 pounds of pressure in it. Then the inspector will walk to the next house, repeating this process of verifying the pressure for as many times as he can and still be back at the first meter within 15 minutes. He then verifies that the gas system has held its pressure for the required 15-minute period. If 5 meters can be read in 15 minutes the inspector has only spent 3 minutes per meter. However, unlike the tract homes where it is convenient to walk from one to the other, in-fill homes are typically blocks or miles apart. Therefore, for in-fill homes each meter takes the full 15 minutes to read. If the inspector has nothing else that he can inspect while he is waiting for the 15-minutes to pass there are no economies of scale available. Likewise, driving times spent in route to and from tracts is allocated to multiple 37 units, as opposed to single in-fill buildings, where driving time from one property to the next is the sole burden of the single in-fill building. Finally, an economy of scale exists when an inspector has becomes familiar with a tract home's floor plan and is able to perform repeated inspections of additional homes of the same model. As he becomes familiar with a set of plans, his preparatory time spent reviewing the plans prior to each inspection declines. It is a common assumption within the building industry that tract homes, on a per home basis overall, require less time to inspect and, therefore, have a lower inspection cost than do homes on in-fill lots. This analysis has verified the validity of this assumption. Tables 6H to 6K summarize the data collected regarding building inspection times for infill homes. The data used in this portion of the study is for the period from January 1, 2000 to October 15, 2005. The On- site Inspection Time Study worksheets are contained in Addendum D located at the end of this report. The Drive Time listed in the tables below("non-variable constant time,") was significantly greater for infill homes. The average number of trips was 31 and the average trip time was 7.98 minutes. Thus, total average drive time was 247.38 minutes (31 Trips X 7.98 minutes). The market for new homes controls both the size and quality of homes that builders are willing to construct. Most of the available in-fill lots within the City over the past few years have been located in older areas that on par result in lower sales prices than tract homes. Thus, due to economic conditions, infill homes built during this period on average tended to be smaller than tract homes. As a consequence, there was a lack of data available to construct sample sets for many of the larger home sizes studied in the tract home section of this report. Of the four sample sets constructed, only the 1200-1400 square foot and the 1400-1600 square foot size sample sets had enough data to include twenty-five homes in each set. In the 1600-2400 square foot sample set only twenty records were found. Finally, in the 2600+-sample set only seven records were found. 38 i a Table 6H Building Inspection Time— Infill Homes - 1200-1400 SQ.FT.

The following steps were used to analyze the changes in inspection times. Step 1. Incremental changes in inspection times were calculated by subtracting the minimum home inspection time (12.65 hours) from the maximum home inspection time (16.53 hours) indicated in Tables 6G through 6J. The difference in the minimum inspection time and the maximum inspection time is 3.88 hours. Step 2. The deviation in inspection times was divided by the number of home sizes (13), between the 1300 square foot point (the midpoint of the 1200 to 1400 square foot range) and the 2600 square foot point on the chart below. This calculation provides an increment of 0.2985 hours change in inspection time for every 100 square foot change in home size. Step 3. The 1300 square foot home size was chosen as a beginning point with the 12.65 hour inspection time for that size home, indicated by the previous inspection time survey, used as the bench mark inspection time. Step 4. M Increments of 0.2985 of an hour were added as the home sizes increased and subtracted as the home sizes decreased. 43 TABLE 6M - INSPECTION TIME BY SIZE - INFILL HOMES SQ.FT.- Hrs SQ.FT.- Hrs SQ.FT.- Hrs SQ.FT.- Hrs 1200- 12.35 2900- 17.43 4600-22.50 6300-27.58 1300- 12.65 3000- 17.72 4700-22.80 6400-27.87 1400- 12.95 3100- 18.02 4800-23.10 6500-28.17 1500 - 13.25 3200- 18.32 4900-23.40 6600-28.47 1600- 13.55 3300- 18.62 5000-23.69 6700-28.77 1700- 13.84 3400- 18.92 5100-23.99 6800-29.07 1800- 14.14 3500- 19.22 5200-24.29 6900-29.37 1900- 14.44 3600- 19.52 5300-24.59 7000-29.66 2000- 14.74 3700- 19-81 5400-24.89 7100-29.96 2100- 15.04 3800-20.11 5500-25.19 7200-30.26 2200- 15.34 3900-20.41 5600-25.49 7300-30.56 2300- 15.64 4000-20.71 5700-25.78 7400-30.86 2400- 15.93 4100-21.01 5800-26.08 7500 -31.16 2500- 16.23 4200-21.31 5900-26.38 7600-31.45 2600- 16.53 4300-21.61 6000-26.68 7700-31.75 2700- 16.83 4400-21.90 6100-26.98 7800-32.05 2800- 17.13 4500-22.20 6200-27.28 7900-32.35 Residential Additions To arrive at a reasonable cost recovery charge (permit fee) for residential room additions, room addition permits records were reviewed. Inspection times required to complete the building inspection process were collected and analyzed. An average per square foot cost was computed separately for additions without plumbing and those with a bathroom and/or kitchen. This data is included in Addendum E. The City's percentage and dollar gain or loss was calculated from the sample set by subtracting the cost of performing the inspections from the fees collected. This analysis revealed that the City averaged a loss of three hundred eighty-two dollars per addition inspected, equal to a forty nine percent recovery rate for the cost of building inspection services. The findings indicate that the most reasonable fee structure for recovering the City's costs of inspection services is to establish a fee of$1.39 per square foot for additions without baths and $1.54 per square foot for room additions with a bath and/or kitchen, and to set a minimum inspection fee of three hundred dollars. Very large room additions will likely require the level of inspections as that of a new infill home. Therefore, it is appropriate to harmonize the fee structure for large room additions with the fee structure for new infill homes. Therefore, in the case of room additions of 1200 square feet and larger the suggested fee should be congruent with the fees charged for an infill home of equivalent size. 44 Conclusion In this chapter the associated inspection times for residential construction were documented for all required inspections. The next step involved in calculating the suggested building permit fees is to calculate the fully burdened hourly rate (FBHR) for building inspectors, which is the subject of the next chapter. The fee determination process culminates in the fee tables in Chapter 8. The fees included in the tables represent the product of the indicated inspection times for each home size multiplied by the FBHR. 45 CHAPTER 7 - FULLY BURDENED HOURLY RATE Introduction The hourly cost of building inspection services, typically expressed as the Fully Burdened Hourly Rate (FBHR)I, takes into account the direct and indirect costs of the Building Division, the Development Service's Department overhead costs, and the city's administrative overhead. The Building Division's administrative costs consist of the costs associated with the administration of the division, also referred to as indirect administrative costs of providing building inspection services. The Development Services Department overhead consists of the department's administrative costs attributable to Building Inspection. City overhead consists of the proportion of administrative costs incurred by the City's Administration Department and other support departments (i.e. City Attorney, Finance, Fleet, etc) attributable to Building Inspection. Annual Available Hours - Building Inspection The number of hours actually spent performing building inspections or plan examinations are referred to in this report as the "Annual Available Inspection Hours". These consist of the "total possible hours" (the number of workdays in a year times the number of hours in a workday), minus "Support Hours" (sick, travel, holiday, meeting and training, office, and jury duty time). Once the annual available inspection hours have been calculated they are used to calculate the Fully Burdened Hourly Rate (FBHR) for the building inspectors and plans examiners. Interns and employees still within their six-month probationary period are not eligible for sick leave, vacation leave, holiday leave, or jury duty leave and have not been included on the worksheets for these categories of leave. Three of the building division staff members, the Building Official, Building Inspection Supervisor, and Secretary, are not included on the Support Hours worksheets because their time will be accounted for by adding the cost of their services to the direct labor costs of the building inspectors and plan examiners. Sick Leave. The "Sick Leave Worksheet," presented in the addendum of this report, contains actual sick leave hours, taken from the Building Official's daily attendance log. The sample sets contained in the worksheets consist of each eligible employee's hours of sick leave taken over three one-year periods by the building inspectors and plans examiners. Sick leave for administrative staff(Joe Lease, Brenda Leggitt, and Jack Masters) was not included in the annual average sick leave hours because they do not perform inspections and the value of their services are accounted for in the expense portion of this report. The annual totals are averaged to arrive at an average sick leave time per building inspector or plans examiner and are shown in Table 7A. ' The "Fully Burdened Hourly Rate" (FBHR) for either the Building Inspection Division or the Plan Examination Division is calculated by dividing the Cost of Building Inspection Services by the Division's Annual Available Hours (DAAH) . 46 Table 7A Three-year Sick Leave Table Building Inspectors Plan Examiners FY 2002/2003 91.04 40.05 FY 2003/2004 83.89 63.22 FY 2004/2005 76.26 96.00 Total 251.19 199.27 3 Year Average 83.73 66.42 Vacation Leave. The "Vacation Leave Worksheet," presented in the addendum of this report, contains actual vacation leave hours, taken from the building official's daily attendance log. The sample sets contained in the worksheets consist of each eligible employee's hours of vacation leave taken over three one-year periods by the building inspectors and plans examiners. The annual totals are averaged to arrive at an average vacation-leave time per building inspector or plans examiner as depicted in Table 7B.

Holiday Leave Time taken by building inspectors and plans examiners is separate from vacation time given to city employees in accordance with the General Unit Employees' Memorandum of Understanding. Employees receive ninety-six (96) holiday hours each year. Meeting and Training Leave. The "Meeting and Training Time Worksheet," presented in the addendum of this report, contains actual meeting and training hours, taken from the Building Division's annual training schedules and the building inspector's or plans examiner's daily job logs over three one- year periods by the building inspectors and plans examiners. The annual totals are averaged to arrive at an average meeting and training time per building inspector or plans examiner as depicted in Table 7C.

This worksheet contains actual hours, taken from the building official's daily attendance log. The annual totals are averaged to arrive at an Average Administrative/Compensation/Jury Duty Times per building inspector or plans examiner and are depicted in Table 32.

The leave hours presented above were used to calculate the "Total Leave Time before Office Hours." The Total Leave Time before Office Hours was then subtracted from the Yearly Total Possible Hours to calculate the Annual Available Hours Before Office Time. This total was used to calculate the Office Time figure used in this report. The building inspector's job requires that inspectors spend time in the office both in the morning and in the evening. In the mornings, they organize inspections for the day, and in the evening, they file documents and perform code research, answer and return phone calls, and record and file forms filled out during the day. Office Time. Data used to calculate the average daily office time were taken from the inspector's daily logs and inserted into the Office Hours Worksheets in order to calculate three one-year average daily office time per inspector figures. The average office time required by building inspectors was derived by totaling the building inspectors' daily office hours for each year of a three-year period and dividing them by the number of days for which office hours were reported. The averages were compared to arrive at a "final average daily office time"for building inspectors. For Fiscal Year 2002/2003 the average daily office time was 2.51 hours. For Fiscal Year 2003/2004 the average daily office time was 2.24 hours. For Fiscal Year 2004/2005 the average daily office time was 1.98 hours. The average daily office time per inspector of 1.98 hours was rounded to 2 hours per day and then multiplied by 0.5 to adjust for time savings in the future resulting from technology upgrades resulting in an estimated one hour per day of office time per inspector. The one hour per day figure was then multiplied by 207 days (the number of days in an average inspector's work year)to arrive at the office hours per year for an average inspector. 48 Approximately 32 percent of the plans examiners' available time is consumed with administrative support activities, such as customer service at the counter, response to generic telephone calls, routing plans to vendors and other divisions, and similar activities. Since this time is not directly attributable to any specific projects, it is considered administrative support time and results in a reduction to the available annual plan review hours.

Examples of these types of permits are those issued for such items as water heater installations or replacements, heating and air conditioning system installations or replacements, electrical service upgrades, the addition of electrical wiring, or re-roofing a structure, to name a few. Inspection data was organized into sample sets of twenty-five permits per category, with the exception of the electrical category which consisted of fifty permits. Each category was analyzed to determine if the cost/revenue equation resulted in a net gain, a net loss, or was at the cost recovery point. EPM permits were broken down into ten subcategories consisting of Mechanical (M), Electrical (E), Plumbing (P), Mechanical/Plumbing (MP), Electrical/Mechanical (EM), Electrical/Plumbing (EP), and Electrical/Plumbing/Mechanical (EPM) permits, and three of the most common permits - lawn sprinklers, 200 Amp electric panels and water heaters. In order to determine the reasonableness of the City's current fees the "total inspection time"was multiplied by the fully burdened hourly rate to determine the City's inspection cost. The total inspection time for EPM permits consisted of the sum of individual inspections (including reinspections), the drive time required to commute to the inspection site, and four minutes of contingency time. Contingency time was added to account for varying, miscellaneous tasks related to the inspection process. The City's inspection cost was then subtracted from the current fees charged (typically the minimum fee of$43.00) to determine the extent of any gain or loss from the inspections. The individual gains and losses were then aggregated to arrive at an overall gain or loss for each group of permits and the average gain or loss was computed. Since the overwhelming majority of EPM permits default to the minimum fee, the minimum fee is set at the average break-even point. The average, median, maximum and minimum inspection costs, and the thirty-third and sixty-sixth percentile points were calculated for each subcategory of permits. The average inspection time and costs were calculated as indicators of reasonable fees. Typically the closer the median of a sample set is to the average, the more accurately the average represents the sample. The median inspection times and costs were calculated in order to determine whether or not an extreme high or low number had skewed a sample's average. Minimum and maximum inspection costs and times were calculated to illustrate the dispersion between the highest and lowest data points and the sample average. The number of data points less than, greater than, or equal to both the average inspection time and current minimum inspection fee were calculated to illustrate whether significant numbers of the inspection or cost totals were grouped above or below those benchmarks. 57 The following list contains the computed minimum fee levels for each sub-category. TABLE 9A EPM FEE SUMMARY Permit Sub-category Computed Minimum Fee Electrical $61.09 Plumbing $61.37 Mechanical $49.86 Electrical/Plumbing $67.24 Electrical/Mechanical $91.94 Mechanical/Plumbing $47.87 Electrical/Mechanical/Plumbing $73.92 Water Heaters Only $49.55 Lawn Sprinklers Only $45.30 200 Amp Panel Upgrades $55.39 Since all of the subcategories were not highly differentiated, it is recommended that the minimum EPM fee be set at the average of$60.00. The summary information listed in the table above was taken from the individual EPM Permit Tables in Addendum D. 58 Chapter 10—Concluding Remarks This study represents the Division's first in-depth review of many of the fees it charges for building inspection and plan review services. It is not complete in scope, since a review of every individual fee charged could not be completed given the limitations of time and resources. The study was completed over the course of two years and consumed over 2600 labor hours during a period of historically high construction activity, which made the process extremely difficult to manage. Also, it is necessary to understand that this report represents a snapshot in time, and ultimately its conclusions will become less relevant as time passes. Thus it should be viewed as the beginning of an ongoing process of fee analysis and adjustment necessary to maintain a fee structure that comports to the spirit and intent of the applicable laws. In light of this, it is suggested that an annual review and analysis of total costs/total revenues be undertaken and that an in-depth analysis and adjustment of fees be completed on a triennial basis. The Division is currently automating a number of processes that should make the data collection and analysis much more efficient and feasible in the future. 59 ADDENDUM A BUILDING INSPECTION DESCRIPTIONS The various required building inspections that comprise the inspection process are described below.
