HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - April 21, 1999 H-01COUNCILCITY OF LODI 1 <iFop�c� LL AGENDA TITLE: Approve fee adjustments for Police, Public Works, Parks and Recreation, and Community Development Departments MEETING DATE: April 21, 1999 PREPARED BY: Deputy City Manager RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 99-68 approving adjustments to fees as presented in Exhibits A -D for the Police, Public Works, Parks and Recreation and Community Development Departments. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: City staff presented the City Council with fee adjustment proposals during the February 2, 1999 Shirtsleeve Session. During that Session, Council was briefed on current fees, fees charged by other communities, and the proposed new City fees. Implicit in the fee proposals is the assumption that services fall within one of two categories: Community -wide services and discretionary services. • Community -wide services are those functions that support the general public. The services are provided to the community as a whole and there is a general expectation that the majority of citizens benefit from these services. These services are typically funded by taxes. • Discretionary services are those functions that are optional and are paid in whole or in part through fees. Since the passage of Proposition 13 (beginning in 1978), local governments have had to rely less on property taxes to provide both the community -wide services and the discretionary services. As an example of the effects from Proposition 13, the 1979/80 percentage of General Fund revenue from property taxes was 19%. In 1997/98, the percentage had decreased to 8%. The decrease in property taxes has resulted in communities either scaling back programs and services, or in finding alternative revenue sources. One such source is the user fee. The user fee is an efficient means of funding the discretionary services by distributing the cost among the users. Once the fees have been established, they need to be periodically reviewed to ensure that they accurately reflect the cost of providing the service. City staff is requesting Council to review the attached Exhibits that delineate the proposed fee adjustments for discretionary services. APPROVED: K.'1311 -on Flynn -- City Manager CITY OF LODI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION FUNDING: None Respectfully submitted, Janet . Keeter Deputy City Manager Attachments APPROVED' H. D' on Flynn -- City Manager Proposed Lodi Police Department Fee Structure Summary The current fee structure of the Lodi Police Department has remained static for several years. We have provided a fee comparison matrix to illustrate how many of our current fees and proposed new fees compare to a sampling of other law enforcement agencies. It should be noted that several of the agencies contacted stated that they were in the process of reviewing their current fee charges for increase adjustments. We are not recommending fee adjustments for all fees. This is due to the relatively low volume of workload generated and small number of applications received for those activities, to include; taxi driver/owner, card room dealer/owner, secondhand dealer, and non-profit / business solicitor. The cost recovery summary for proposed fee increases illustrates current fees and proposed new fees. The increases listed are necessary to recover a portion of the actual costs for providing the following services: Fee Increases 1) Impound Vehicle Release: Relates to the new 30 day impound law which has resulted in more time being spent by records and supervisory staff to administer. 2) Concealed Weapons Applicants / Range: The staff time necessary to complete the application process, background checks, and range qualifications. 3) Massage Proprietor/Technician: Due to on-going issues surrounding this type of business activity, police detectives are assigned to complete background and applicant reviews of proprietors and technicians. New Fees 1) Mechanical Citation Sign -off: Officers are required to leave their duties to sign - off mechanical citations. Only those citations generated by other agencies would be charged a fee. 2) VIN Verifications: Officers are required to leave their duties to verify vehicle identifier numbers. A verification is often needed for a non -registered vehicle, which is being sold by a business or private party. 3) DUI Cost Recovery: By city resolution, the vehicle code allows agencies to recover costs associated with arresting intoxicated drivers. Arrest of DUI's account for considerable documentation and staff time. 4) Grape Festival: The graduated fee structure for police services for the Grape and Wine Festival represents only a partial cost of police services. The festival manager has been consulted and is in concurrence with the recommended fees.

Response 0 $150.00 Grape Festival - 1999 0 $5,000.00 2000 0 $10,000.00 2001 0 $15,000.00 Impound Vehicle Release Fee Current Fee: The City of Lodi currently collects $45.00 for a impounded vehicle release fee whenever a vehicle is towed and stored pursuant to specific sections of the California Vehicle Code. Proposed Chanae: Increase the fee to $75.00 Justification: The existing fee of $45.00 is below the actual cost to provide the service. With the new 30 day impound law, considerable more time is spent by records personnel and supervisors dealing with these cases. Tow hearings for example, have increased dramatically. CCW Applicant Current Fee: State of California: $90.00 City of Lodi $15.00 Total $105.00 Proposed Chance: Increase the City of Lodi portion from $15.00 to $25.00 which would make the total cost of a CCW application to $115.00. Justification: A fee of $15.00 to interview potential applicants, process the paper work, and conduct a background check is far below the actual cost to provide the service. Records personnel spend well over thirty minutes on each applicant to process the necessary paper work and conduct a background check. This increase makes the fee more in line with the actual cost to provide this service. CCW Renewal Current Fee: State of California: $42.00 City of Lodi $3.00 Total $45.00 Proposed Chance: Increase City of Lodi portion from $3.00 to $15.00 which would bring the total for renewal to $57.00. Justification: The current fee of $3.00 does not come close to the actual cost to provide this service. Considerable time is spent by records personnel processing the paper work. The increase better reflects the actual cost to provide this service. Range Fees Current Fee: The City of Lodi currently collects $13.00 as a range fee for CCW permit holders to qualify each year. Proposed Change: $25.00 Justification: The current fee of $13.00 is hardly sufficient to cover the costs for a police officer/range master to qualify CCW permit holders. Much of the time, qualifications are done on overtime. An increase to $25.00 is still below the actual cost to provide the service, but allows the City to cover a portion of its costs. Massage Proprietor Current Fee: State of California: $32.00 City of Lodi $31.50 Total $63.50 Proposed Chance: State of California: $32.00 City of Lodi $31.50 Add: (Investigative Fee) $250.00 Total $313.00 Justification: The current fee of $31.50 does not cover the costs to provide the actual service. Considerable time is spent by records personnel processing the appropriate paper work. Additionally, a background investigation is conducted on each applicant by a detective which requires numerous hours of investigation and/or travel and phone calls. The increase better reflects the actual cost to provide this service. County of Sacramento, for example, charges a fee of $4,000.00, while the City of Stockton charges approximately $150.00 for massage proprietor. Massage Technician Current Fee: State of California: $32.00 City of Lodi $6.00 Total $38.00 Proposed Change: State of California: $32.00 City of Lodi $6.00 Add: (Investigative Fee) $150.00 Total $188.00 Justification: The current fee of $6.00 does not cover the costs to conduct a background check on each applicant technician. Currently each application is sent to the investigations division for background investigation. The increase is more representative of the actual cost to provide the service. VIN Verification Current Fee: None. Proposed Change: Initiate a fee of $35.00 for each VIN number verification. Justification: Currently police officers are required to drop other duties and either come to the station or respond to locations in the field to make VIN verifications. These tasks are on the increase and take officers away from more important tasks or duties. City of Stockton, for example, charges $46.00 for VIN verifications. Outside Agency Mechanical Citation Sign Offs Current Fee: None. Proposed Chanae: Initiate a fee of $10.00 for citation sign offs written by agencies other than the Lodi Police Department. Justification: Officers and/or community service officers are required to discontinue regular duties or come to the police facility to sign off mechanical citations. A fee of $10.00 covers the actual time and cost to provide the service. We will continue to provide this service free of charge for citations Lodi Police Department has written. However, we propose that we should charge for staff time needed to sign off citations generated by other agencies. DUI Cost Recovery Current Fee: None. Proposed Change: This would require a city resolution. This is a foram of cost recovery designed to allow the City of Lodi to recover costs as it relates to an emergency vehicle response in DUI cases. This cost recovery would become operative whenever red lights and siren are used to apprehend an intoxicated driver. For example, the following fees are representative of what it costs the City of Lodi to provide this service. DUI Arrest no collision $125.00 DUI Collision no injury $200.00 DUI Collision Injury $300.00 DUI Collision Fatal $1,000.00 Fire Department Response $150.00 Fees can be accumulative, but cannot exceed $1,000.00. Grape Festival Current Fee: None. Proposed Change: This is a new fee. Festival year 1999 $5,000.00 Festival year 2000 $10,00.00 Festival year 2001 $15,000.00 Fees are to increase each year. Justification: This is a service provided each year by supervisors, police officers and reserve officers for security and to reduce crime during the Grape Festival period. All officers assigned this duty are working overtime. A charge for the service provided allows the City to cover a portion of its costs. The Chief of Police has had discussions with the Grape Festival Manager concerning these fee proposals. The Grape Festival Manager is in concurrence with the recommended fees and remains very satisfied with LPD's services. PROPOSED PUBLIC WORKS FEES It has been a number of years since the Fee Schedule for the Public Works Department has been updated. Consequently, a number of fees need to be increased and others added. Attached is a table outlining the fee increases and additions. Fee increases are proposed for Improvement Plan Checking (First Submittal, Inspection on Overtime, Parcel Map Check/Processing, and Final Map Processing), Transportation Permits (Multiple and Single Trips), and Other (Street Abandonment and Easement Abandonment). The Improvement Plan Checking fees are being increased to correspond to an annual 3% increase over the last four years. The Transportation Permit fee will be tied to the Caltrans fee. This will result in increasing the Single Trip fee from $15 to $16 and increasing the Multiple Trip fee from $20 to $90. In the future, this fee will be automatically adjusted when Caltrans adjusts its fee. The Street Abandonment and Easement Abandonment fees have been increased to correspond to the 30 hours and 10 hours, respectively, of staff time at $25/hour needed to process requests. New fees are being proposed for encroachment permits. The fee to process an encroachment request will be $25 and is based on an average of one hour of an engineering technician's time to process a request. In addition to the processing fee, fees will be charged for encroachment requests that require engineering review, inspection, document preparation (e.g., hold harmless agreement) and other agency fees (e.g., County recordation fee). In these cases, fees to cover staff time and charges from other agencies will be as follows: Engineering Review 2.5% of construction costs for items requiring review Inspection 2.5% of construction costs for items that require inspection Document Preparation $50 Other Agency Fees Reimbursement for fees paid by City No fees will be charged for City -sponsored events and the Public Works Director has the authority to modify a fee for unusual circumstances.

Proposed Lodi Parks and Recreation Department Fee Structure Summary The Parks and Recreation Department continually strives to provide quality, low-cost programs, activities, and services to the citizens of Lodi and the surrounding community. Many of the fees have not been adjusted for five or more years. Attached is a matrix illustrating current and proposed fees for programs and services that staff is recommending for fee adjustments. Please note that not all Parks and Recreation program and service fees are being proposed for adjustments. Fee Increases 1. Youth Sports Program Fees: Fee adjustments in the areas of Flag Football (all age groups) and Junior Basketball (4t' through 6t' grades only) to address referee needs. 2. Aquatic Programs: Fee adjustments for swim lessons, summer swim league, and public swim at Blakely Park and Lodi Lake beach to address lifeguard and instructor needs; facility improvements and maintenance. Please note that staff is recommending a decrease to the adult public swim fee at Blakely Park to encourage adults to use the facility. 3. Adult Sports Program Fees: Fee adjustments based on roster size (15 for softball, 10 for soccer, basketball, and volleyball) to address needs for officials and scorekeepers. 4. Facility Rentals: Fee adjustments to resident and non-residents to address repairs to the facilities and staff time spent cleaning and maintaining the facilities for public use. Staff is recommending no adjustments to local non-profit fees. 5. Lodi Lake Vehicle Entrance: This fee adjustment is recommended only for weekends and holidays. New Fees 1. Recreation Activity Block (RAB): This fee would apply to activities co-sponsored by the department i.e., Boosters of Boys/Girls Sports programs and the Lodi City Swim Club to address officials and facilities rented by the department for these programs. A RAB covers a four-month block of time and applies to year-round activities. 2. Kiwanis Picnic Area at Lodi Lake: Setting rental fees that address staff administrative time to secure the facility, posting of the rental notification, and maintenance of the facility.

Additionally, fees are shown that are proposed to remain unchanged. The City Council should note that the majority of the fees are remaining at their current levels. The Planning Division charges fees for the services provided, however the majority of these are application fees are for a specific activity. The fees are intended to cover the cost of providing the service. The question as to why the City charges a fee for services surfaced during the discussion regarding what the typical Lodi citizen pays in taxes. Again, this is a fundamental policy decision on the part of the City Council, however it is the standard in the field; that the City should attempt to recover costs for development activities. Each of the fees that are recommended for increase is still significantly under the average of the six jurisdictions surveyed. Those surveyed agencies include Stockton, Tracy, Manteca, Lathrop, Galt and San Joaquin County.

The Council agenda tilled for a public discussion of proposed fee increases for various Paris and Recreation (P/R) advvides ranging Vom youth sports fees to fees charged for facilities rental. When the presentation began it was announced that, earlier in the day, city staff determined that fee increases proposed for youth activities were not necessary and that they were being deleted from the presentation. To highlight that decision, youth fee increases were "lined out" on the overhead transparency utilized by Ms. Keeter, the Deputy City Manager. In 1998, the Council directed several City Departments, including PIR, to not only reduce expenses but to also explore fee increases. In response to that direction, the P/R staff began a fee study that was to be ultimately brought to the P/R Commission for review. (I must point out that I was not a PIR Commissioner at the time of this review.) (Ity Manager Flynn and P/R Director Williamson indicated that the PIR (buzmimion assigned two members to a. committee to work with staff on this matter. After considerable time and discussion, the subcommittee sent to the Commission the proposed fee increases that were to be presented last evening. Mr. Flynn indicated that the Conmrission noted 3-2 to move the proposed increases forward. Councilmember thtchcock observed that this process took almost, a full year only to be negated by staff the morning of the Council Meeting.

What I don't. understand is the lack of consideration or respect of the Commission by the majority of the Council and the staff last night. I feel it is inexcusable for staff to arbitrarily delete from a presentation something voted on. by the. CommWion. If staff has a differing opinion or recommendation, it should also be presented to the Council in a fair and balanced manner, At the very least, staff should have had the courtesy of advising Council that there was a difference of opinion between staff and Comnussion and ask that the matter be carried over to a later date. Council could then make that detemination. Mucb discussion was heard about the 30% recapture rate for youth sports. Staff indicated that, because the recapture irate was above, 30%, any &e increase was unwarranted. For that reason, they decided to amend the presentation. Mr. Williamson indicated that the Commission knew the, recapture rate was higher than 30%. Nevertheless, they voted to recommend a fee bicrease. That is precisely what the Council appointed them to do - make recommendations. The Council then has the opportunity to what it has done in the past - accept or reject the reconmendation. Staff should not short circuit that process. There was also conment by staff about the. 3-2 vote by the Commission. The implication was that the Commission wasn't strongly inclined either way due to the closeness of the vote. While far from unanimous, a 3-2 vote is just as binding. In fact, the Council had a 3-2 vote on the. Park Naturalist position last evening. Finally, it is disappointing to note that only one Councihnpwber expressed any concern over the way this matter was bandied. I think I can speak unequivocally for each P/R Commissioner that we take our appointment very seriously. While the Council and Commis on may penodicalty disagree on policy, we, would hope that our efforts on behalf of Lodi are always taken seriously by the Council, With Council support, hopefully unfortunate incidents such as this will not be repeated.
