Prior to that time, the Department of Public Works did not inspect outside of the public right-of-way and there was growing concern that'parking lots, on-site improvements consisting of sewer, storm drains, lighting systems, curbs and other such improvements, were not being constructed per plan and in accordance with City standards. The on-site plan check and inspection insured that construction was per plan and was inspected for conformance with adopted standards. Resolution 85-258 set fees based on the amount of con- struction. It requires a detailed quantity estimate to be provided and then fees may be calculated. The proposed resolu- tion provides that the fees are based on a percentage of the construction costs, being 0.25% for the plan check and 0.30% for the inspection fee. In 1987, staff surveyed other surrounding cities and compared our fees with theirs. The above recommended percentages were found to be about midway in the fee structure. If adopted, this resolution will provide an equal basis for the inspection and plan check fees based on the amount of work to be performed by the City. More inspection, for example, will have a higher inspection fee. Portions of the original 1987 report on fees are attached for review. Staff recommends that the Mayor and Council adopt the resolution setting forth the fees to be charged for on-site in- spection and plan check. 6-08-88 . STY OF SAN BERQRDINO Q. MEMORANDUNP RAY SCHWEITZER To Acring City Administrator Subject Engineering Fees and Development Fees ROGER HARDGRAVE, Dir. of From Public Works/City Engr. Date March 17, 1987 File No. 9.49 , Approved Date During the past several months. staff has been investigating fees and charges for development in surrounding communities and com- paring it with our fee structure. Attached as Exhibit "A" is a breakdown of the costs associated with three separate types of development: a 45-unit, single-family tract. a 304-unit,apart- ment complex and a service station on a commercial lot. These projects have actually occurred in San Bernardino, and the fees are the actual charges collected. Exhibit liB" is the present "Chart System" now used to calculate fees. Information on each development was provided to the other jurisdictions to obtain a cost comparison. These are representative only and will vary from project to project, but do reflect trends. The attached charts do not have information on the total of all fees collected. Specifically. they do not have building permit or plan check fees. and in some instances other jurisdictions have additional fees that they collect which have no counter-part in the City. These additional fees were omitted in order to make a clearer comparison on presently collected fees. Fees have been broken into two separate and distinct categories Engineering Fees and Development Fees. While Engineering Fees are reimbursement for services provided in plan check and in- spection of construction, development fees are collected to offset costs associated with expansion of existing facilities or to provide partial funding for major facilities yet to be con- structed (i.e. storm drains. sewer systems). ENGINEERING FEES: A review of Exhibit "A" reveals that San Bernardino has the highest fee structure of all agencies for commercial and multi- family developments and very nearly the lowest for single-family development. The current policy on multi-family development is to collect map check and plan check fees on the number of units within the development rather than on the amount of construction to be done. Originally. this was instituted to provide protection from costly condominium developments. in which plan checking amounts to substantial time even though there is only one lot. it is currently applied to apartments as well. ~!~, "';'-11 ~,,;::: 000 Ray Schweitzer, City Administrator Re: Engineering Fees and Development Fees March 17, 1987 File No. 9.49 o Page 2 In the case of the single-family development, fees are again based on the number of units although the extent of construction is much greater and the necessary inspection and plan check is also much higher. Commercial development encounters very high on. site plan check and inspection charges as they are presently estimated by the chart system. Overall, Engineering fees represent only a small part of the total cost per unit, generally less than 1-1/2% of the total. However, there is a large disparity between the type of development and between the comparable fees collected by other agencies. Adjust- ments need to be made to accurately reflect the costs involved, provide similar services at similar costs and relate costs to the amount of work involved in the project. RECOMMENDATIONS: Below is listed the recommended changes in the Engineering Fees: 1. MAP CHECKING FEE CURRENT FEE $200 + $10 per Lot or Unit 2. IMPROVEMENT PLAN CHECKING FEE (SUBDIVISIONS) a) Residential Parcel Map $100 + $20 per Lot or Unit b) All Others $200 + 20 per Lot or Unit c) Non Subdivision Improvement Plan Checking Fee i Based on Val ue I of Work per I Chart ____J Based on Value of Work per Chart 3. IMPROVEMENT INSPECTION FEE 4. ON-SITE PLAN CHECK Based on Value of Work per Chart RECOMMENDED FEE $500 + $15 per Lot (drop unit charge) . All plan checks would be 2% of estimated cost of improvements with a $50 min. 1.5% of Esti- mated Cost of Improvements 0.25% of Esti- mated On-Site Cost of Improvements . 000 Ray Schweitzer, City Administrator Re: Engineering Fees and Development Fees March 17, 1987 File No. 9.49 () Page 3 5.

GRADING INSPECTION FEE Based on No Change Quantity of Recommended Earthwork per UBC COO Ray Schweitzer, City Administrator Re: Engineering Fees and Development Fees March 17, 1987 File No. 9.49 :> Page 4 The numbers on the fees correlate with those in Exhibit "A". Below is listed the amount of fees that would be collected for the sample projects if the recommended changes were to be made. PROPOSED FEE STRUCTURE MONIES COLLECTED (See Exhibit "A" for Comparison) Single Family 1. Map Checking 2. Improvement Plan Checking $ 1,175 $ 5,920 3. Improvement Inspection $ 4,440 4. On-site Plan Check $ $ $ 135 $ 482 5. On-site Inspection 6. Grading Plan Check 7. Grading Inspection TOTAL $ 12,152 $ 270 Cost per Unit Multi- Family $ 515 $ 3,580 $ 2,685 $ 837 $ 1,004 $ 75 $ 320 $ 9,015 $ 20.65 Commercial $ $ 420 $ 315 $ $ $ $ 64 77 30 126 $ 1,032 By comparison to current fees, commercial fees declined 47% and multi-family fees declined 33%. Single-family fees increased 233%. However, the overall effect is to bring the City's fees into accord with that charged by surrounding agencies, collect for the services provided on an equal basis regardless of type of development and relate fees to the actual cost of the improvements, thereby eliminating the need to make periodic adjustments in the "chart" used to calculate fees. Fees are tied to the actual cost of construction and will fluctuate with the market and economy rather than be set at some present level only to become out-dated. ., . o Ray Schweitzer, City AdmQistrator 0 Re: Engineering Fees and Development Fees March 17, 1987 File No. 9.49 C) Page 5 The proposed adjustments to Engineering Fees would bring the City into line with surrounding agencies and provide for inflation or deflation. It would also equalize the fees and base it on the actual amount of work to be performed regardless of the type of development. In view of the fact that the Engineering Fees account for less than 1-1/2% of the total, the overall impact on develop- ment would appear to be insignificant. The Department sought input from the Finance Department in deter- mining the amount of monies collected verses the actual costs of the work performed. The Finance Department was able to supply raw salary figures and dollars collected for the period 7/1/86 through 12/31/86. Analysis of this information is difficult as monies are collected for inspections that are yet to be Performed, no allowance is made for vehicles, tools and equipment, office overhead, or support personnel used in the performance of the required services (clerical, management, outside contracting for prints or soils testing, etc.). A reasonable guess would be that the actual costs would be in the range of 2.5 to 3 times the raw salary costs provided all time was accurately reported. Exhibit "C" shows the work orders, salary, adjusted salary, monies collected and the percentage over or under actual costs. Again, it must be noted that the inspection services are paid for in advance of the work performed whereas the other items are paid after the work is complete. Inspection work is not yet complete on many of the projects that are reflected in the study period. We are collecting anywhere from 800% to 30% less than the true costs of the work performed. This conclusion is further supported by the costs associated with outside plan check services. A review of the recent projects sent out for consultant plan check at the developer's request and those initiated by the City show the con- sultants collecting 2.5 to 3 times the fees collected by the City for the same work. Considering our true cost is 2.5 times salary in this analysis and the consultants are billing for actual time used, we are still the 800% to 30% below true costs. It is apparent from this analysis that public agencies, as a whole, collect fees below actual costs. This is in accord with the public service we are providing and is perhaps justified. However, the present City fee structure is in need of adjustment and is well substantiated by the true cost data in our own records and the comparison to other jurisdictions in the immediate area.

During the 1987/88 budget review, the Mayor and Council again considered the increases in fees as a means of cost recovery for services provided. In September of 1987, staff provided the necessary information for action on the implementation of the in- creased fees. Engineering staff has now prepared the following resolution for consideration of the Mayor and Common Council to adopt increased fees in general accord with the recommendations of March, 1987. A public notice has been posted in the Engineering Department, third floor of City Hall, since mid May, to serve as public notice of the proposed action. Resolution 83-201, as amended by Resolution 83-228, sets forth the current charges for the services of plan check and in- spection on a variety of project types. These fees, set in 1983, have remained unchanged since adoption in 1983. The proposed resolution will place the City of San Bernardino at approximately the middle range of similar fees collected by adja- cent agencies. Copies of the original report sections are attached for review. It must be remembered that this survey of fees was conducted in late 1986 and early 1987. The data collection takes several months and was dated when presented in 1987. It must be assumed that the surrounding agencies have .again adjusted their fees to more closely approximate actual costs for the services. The attached resolution eliminates much of the "calculation" necessary in determining existing fees. Presently, a sliding scale for each improvement is used with all items being computed. In most instances, the developer has his construction estimate and may be required to bond to the City for the improvement costs. By using a fixed percentage of the construction costs for the items being checked or inspected, equal value is received by all develop- ments, and fees are directly related to the cost of the service provided. In addition to the above, the percentage approach eliminates the need to adjust fees for increased costs or infla- tion as it is already accounted for in the construction cost estimated. Staff, therefore, recommends that the Mayor and Common Council adopt the resolution setting the revised fees. 6-13-88 75-0264
