TITLE: Ordinance No. 2022-10 and Resolution No. 2022-23: Approval of the
Fiscal Year 2021-22 Fee Study Update
ABSTRACT:
The City of Newport Beach's consultant, MGT of America (MGT), has updated the fees
in the Recreation and Senior Services and Library Departments, as well as the Fire
Prevention Division of the Fire Department, following a cost recovery analysis. In addition,
staff has identified several necessary fee updates outside of the studied departments,
including new fees and/or adjustments to fees in the All Departments, Harbor, and
Community Development Department categories. Staff recommends fee changes
effective July 1, 2022. In addition to the proposed fee updates, staff is recommending
modifications to Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) Sections 3.36.020 (Definitions)
and 3.36.030 (Cost Recovery Percentages) to facilitate the changes to authorized levels
of cost recovery required by the fee changes that are recommended at this time.
RECOMMENDATION:
a) Conduct a public hearing;
b) Determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because
this action will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly;
c) Adopt Resolution No. 2022-23, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Newport
Beach, California, Adopting and Revising Certain Fees Within the Schedule of Rents,
Fines, and Fees; and
d) Waive full reading, direct the City Clerk to read by title only, and introduce Ordinance
No. 2022-10, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach,
California, Amending Subsection 3.36.010 of the NBMC (Findings) to Clarify the
Finding Related to User Services, Subsection 3.36.020 of the NBMC (Definitions) to
Update the Definition of User Services, Amending Exhibit A of Section 3.36.030 of the
NBMC (Cost Recovery Percentages) to Update the Modification Percentage for User
Services, and Amending Subsection 3.36.030(E) of the NBMC to Update Waiver of
Fees for Service, and pass to second reading on April 26, 2022.

DISCUSSION:
NBMC Section 3.36, City Council Policy F-4 (Revenue Measures), and Item 12 of the
Fiscal Sustainability Plan (FSP), provide staff and the City Council with policy guidance
related to setting cost recovery targets and updating user fees. User fees, or
cost -of -service fees, are charged to a private citizen or group for services performed or
provided by a government agency on their behalf. If the service primarily benefits an
individual or group of people, then the burden of that cost should be borne by the person
receiving the benefit. NBMC Section 3.36.030 sets the cost recovery for user fees at
100%, with the exception of the subsidized fees listed in Exhibit "A" of that same section,
as well as those limited by California or federal statutes. A recommendation for less than
a 100% cost recovery rate may occur when a service is beneficial to the community at
large along with specific individuals or groups, and/or when there is an economic
incentive, or disincentive, to do so. In these cases, another City of Newport Beach (City)
revenue source — in most cases the General Fund — subsidizes the service. Any newly
proposed fee or fee increase that is not approved by the City Council will by default be
subsidized by the General Fund.
The Schedule of Rents, Fines, and Fees (SRFF) primarily includes cost -of -services fees,
which are designed to recover the City's cost to provide the related service. In order to
establish fees on the basis of full cost recovery, it is necessary to determine the cost of
services. Using well-established cost accounting methodologies, the City's consultant,
MGT of America (MGT), conducts a comprehensive review and update of the Citywide
cost allocation plan and direct user fee calculations for each department on a rotating
basis every three to five years. This year, MGT studied the following departments at staff's
direction:
• Recreation and Senior Services
• Library
• Fire Prevention
As part of this study, MGT meets with City staff from each studied department to discuss
the services provided, the annual volume for those services, and the staff resources and
time estimates for delivering the related services. In an effort to factor in both direct and
indirect costs, MGT then calculates the department staff's fully burdened hourly rate,
which includes both internal administrative as well as citywide overhead costs. The fully
burdened hourly rates are applied to the time estimates provided by staff and the fee is
calculated. Consistent with the City's round down policy and excluding Library Per Page
Copies, all fees proposed that are $5 or more are rounded down to the nearest dollar and
all fees proposed that are less than $5 are rounded down to the nearest quarter. Based
on the results of the fee study, it is not uncommon for some fees to increase while others
may decrease. The most common reasons for fees to go up or down are: 1) costs
changing over time, most often increasing 2) the staff performing the service changes,
and/or 3) the amount of time to perform the service changes. Once the calculations are
confirmed, department staff then recommends that the fee should either be fully
recovered or subsidized. NBMC Section 3.36.030 Exhibit "A" subsidy changes are
detailed in Attachments C and D.

In addition to the City's cost -of -service fees, the SRFF includes fines & penalties, rents,
and other charges imposed by the City or mandated by the State of California. The
amount of these charges is determined in a variety of ways, most commonly market
surveys when not mandated by a higher level of government. Where changes are
recommended for these non -cost -of -service components of the SRFF herein, a
description of the fee methodology and the reason(s) for a recommended change are
provided.
On March 10, 2022, staff presented the fee study updates to the Finance Committee for
consideration. The following additional updates are recommended either as a result of
discussion at the Finance Committee meeting or due to further information or changes
since the Committee's review of the proposed updates.
1. Passport Photo Fee — As recommended by the Finance Committee, the provision to
recover less than the full cost of providing this service has been removed from NBMC
Section 3.36.030 Exhibit "A", and the recommended fee for this service is adjusted
from the proposed $15 to the full cost of this service at $25. While this fee is higher
than the passport photo rates in the surrounding area, it does fully recover the City's
costs for provision of this service and maintains the ability for applicants to complete
all services including photos, if needed, during the passport appointment. Should
customers wish to pay less for their passport photos, other options are available in the
surrounding area. As recommended by the Finance Committee and subject to City
Council approval, the City's website will be updated to note that this fee is higher than
other nearby providers to inform applicants that they may contact other passport photo
providers who may offer a lower rate.
2. Three -Year Building Permit Extension Fees — As noted in the presentation to the
Finance Committee, while the Community Development Department was last studied
in Fiscal Year 2019-20, the department is proposing new fees related to building
permit extensions. The City Council previously set a three-year time limit from the
issuance of the first or original building permit for one -unit or two -unit dwellings to
complete construction. As the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2022-8 on
March 22, 2022, the City's Building Official is authorized to extend the time to complete
construction for the first request. Subsequent extension requests require the
consideration and approval of a hearing officer. The fee that is to accompany the
application to the Building Official for the first extension request is $208 and covers
the estimated staff time associated with the review. The fee that is to accompany the
application for subsequent extension requests is $1,379 and covers the estimated
staff time associated with scheduling a hearing officer, the estimated time of the
hearing officer, and the public notice that is required.
3. Other Municipal Code Revisions — The Finance Committee expressed support of the
proposed NBMC revisions relating to the ability to recover the City's costs for user
services that otherwise would not be addressed by the fees included in the existing
SRFF, as well as establishing the authority to waive fees under limited circumstances.
However, as recommended by the Finance Committee, Finance Department staff, in
concert with staff in the City Attorney's Office, reviewed the recommended NBMC
revisions to clarify some of the language as follows -

Ordinance No. 2022-10 and Resolution No. 2022-23:
Approval of the Fiscal Year 2021-22 Fee Study Update
April 12, 2022

a. The definition of user services was modified to clarify that such services do not
include municipal services traditionally funded by tax revenue, or that are
typically performed without the express request of a person or for the public
benefit generally.
b. The proposed language in which the City Manager or Finance Director may
waive a user fee has been updated to remove the criteria of imposition of a
hardship. As the intent of the fee waiver is to be used in limited circumstances,
and to prevent duplicative fees or charging more than the actual cost of service
in cases where a fee may be incorrect, staff revised the criteria to remove the
reference to hardship.
4. Appeal Fees — The Finance Committee recommended staff review the cost recovery
for all appeal fees to include a consistent cost recovery level across all types of
appeals — 0% for successful applicants and 50% for unsuccessful applicants, in order
to not discourage potential appellants from exercising the right of appeal due to the
appeal fees potentially being cost -prohibitive. Subject to the City Council's approval
of the proposed NBMC revisions with this update, nearly all of the City's appeal fees
include the provision to recover 0% if the applicant is successful and approximately
50% if the applicant is unsuccessful. As part of the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Fee Study,
staff will comprehensively review the few remaining appeal fees with higher levels of
cost recovery to align with these cost recovery provisions.
The remainder of this report focuses on how studied fees are changing. Executive
summaries of each department's studied fees can be found in Attachment A.
Recreation and Senior Services
The Recreation and Senior Services (RSS) Department was last studied in 2016, with
some programmatic fee -related updates approved by the City Council in subsequent
years, such as fees relating to operational changes with the transition of the Marina Park
boating program. As part of the prior fee study, the City Council approved revising NBMC
Section 3.36 to set percentage recovery as a range, from a Council -approved minimum
amount up to 100%, in order to give the RSS Director and City Manager flexibility to adjust
RSS fees as needed based on demand. As part of the current fee study, MGT and staff
reviewed the percentage recovery ranges and determined these are still appropriate for
both Recreation and Senior Services.
Recreation Services — While staff is not proposing a modification to the codified cost
recovery percentages, staff are proposing to increase fees in four program areas — Youth
Camps, Youth After School Programs, Preschool Camps & Programs, and Aquatics
Programs. This increase is warranted given the increase in the City's costs to deliver
these programs during the five-year period since the Recreation Services user fees were
last studied and reflects an upward adjustment of approximately 10%. The fees have not
been adjusted during this five-year period. This proposed increase on a programmatic
level remains within the cost recovery percentage range established by the City Council
and results in the following percentage increases in cost recovery by program:

The redline version of the SRFF included with the fee resolution in Attachment B reflects
an administrative reorganization and update of fees within the Adult Sports category in
an effort to simplify the presentation of the fees in this program, as well as to ensure the
SRFF correctly captures all fees related to current operations. In line with this effort, there
is one proposed additional fee in Adult Sports, Sports Classes. In an effort to ensure each
fee listed correlates to the same programmatic area as where the revenue is recorded,
staff is proposing to capture the per person sport related classes that are separate from
the sport leagues, such as classes for pickleball. While this is not a new fee, this
adjustment better aligns the SRFF with the departmental operations. In a similar effort to
better align the SRFF with the departmental operations, the redline version of the SRFF
also reflects the elimination of seven fees under the Natural Resources category relating
to beach clean-up and ISOpod special events and programs, as Recreation Services is
no longer providing these programs. No other changes are proposed to the Recreation
Services fees.
Senior Services — Similar to Recreation Services, staff is proposing to increase fees for
Oasis Fitness Memberships by a similar amount of approximately 10%. This proposed
increase on a programmatic level remains with the cost recovery percentage range
established by the City Council (50%-90%) and results in a 5% increase in cost recovery,
from 53% to 58%. No other changes are proposed to the Senior Services fees.
Appeal to City Council for Approval of Special Event Permits — MGT and staff
completed a comprehensive review of the structure of the City's types of appeals and the
corresponding cost recovery for both successful and unsuccessful applicants. Generally,
the City has included a cost recovery of less than 100% for both successful and
unsuccessful applicants in order to not discourage potential appellants from exercising
the right of appeal due to the fee(s) being cost prohibitive. Similarly, in almost all cases,
the City's cost recovery for successful applicants is 0%. For consistency, staff is
recommending modifying NBMC Section 3.36.030 Exhibit "A" to include this same
provision for appeals to the City Council for approval of Special Event Permits as outlined
in Attachments C and D.
Library Services
The Library Services Department was last studied in 2016. As further detailed below, the
proposed fee updates do not result in any material changes. While this study focused on
cost -of -service fees, Attachment A also provides a summary of the reorganization and
refinement of the fee descriptions for certain fines and replacement costs to better reflect
the current types of materials. The summary is inclusive of all changes.

Approval of the Fiscal Year 2021-22 Fee Study Update

Library Services — There are three new fees proposed within Library Services.
1. The first two fees are Per Page Copies ($0.15 black and white; $0.45 color) that cover
copies from central printers. While the central printers are somewhat self-service, they
slightly differ in the process, cost, type of equipment, and volume, relative to the
existing copy fees for self-service copiers. To that end, it was necessary to separately
calculate the cost of this service from the other copier fees to factor in the different
replacement cost and useful life of the printers. However, staff recommends aligning
these fees with the existing Per Page Copies ($0.15 black and white; $0.45 color) from
the self-service copiers for consistency. As such, Attachments C and D proposes
amending NBMC Section 3.36.030 Exhibit "A" to include a recovery for these services
of less than 100%. As consistent with the City's practice to round down, staff
recommends continuing the practice to round these fees down to the nearest nickel
for easy application, which is outlined in the fee resolution in Attachment B.
2. The third new fee covers a new service — Test Proctoring — the Library Department is
adding based on an identified need of this service within the community. This fee is
proposed at $24. It is important to note that this service differentiates from the
traditional test proctoring where it is 100% supervised. This service recovers staff time
associated with application processing and occasional monitoring at a central
workspace.
Similar to RSS, in an effort to align the SRFF with the current departmental operations
and previously authorized changes by the Library Board of Trustees, there are additional
updates, including the elimination of Materials Use — Best Sellers and the establishment
of new fines for the new tech toys collection, which consists of technological items, such
as GoPro camera, digital camera, synthesizer, and audio interface.
Passport Services — While the fee for the passport service is restricted by the US
Department of State, MGT studied the cost of passport photos. Similar to the prior fee
study for the Library Department, staff had initially proposed increasing the fee from
$10 to $15 and recovering less than 100% of this cost based on the justification that the
proposed $15 is comparable to the passport photo rates in the surrounding area.
However, as noted earlier in the report, staff has removed the recommendation to recover
less than the full cost of providing this service, and the recommended fee for this service
has been modified from the proposed $15 to the full cost of service of $25.
Fire Department — Fire Prevention
The Fire Prevention fees were most recently studied in Fiscal Year 2019-20. While Fire
Prevention was not officially due to be studied this year, MGT and staff considered the
relatively low City cost recovery stipulated in NBMC Section 3.36.030 Exhibit "A" and the
corresponding high subsidy by the General Fund of approximately $900,000. While
recovering less than 100% of the total cost incurred by the City is to be expected for
certain programmatic operations in the Fire Department that benefit the community at
large in lieu of an individual, staff conducted a survey regarding cost recovery
percentages for similar services by other Orange County fire agencies.

Ordinance No. 2022-10 and Resolution No. 2022-23:
Approval of the Fiscal Year 2021-22 Fee Study Update
April 12, 2022
Page 7
The results of this survey yielded that nearly all comparable agencies were fully
recovering the cost of these services and had fees that were lower than what the City's
fees would be at a 100% cost recovery level. Following staff's thorough analysis of the
fee methodology with support from MGT, it was determined that the costs captured in
these fees exceeded what was reasonable given the circumstances as further outlined
below.
The proposed fees reflect the full cost of providing these services resulting in proposed
fee increases and decreases, including adjusting the fee methodology for the fees as
summarized below:
1. The staff completing the following annual inspections summarized in the table below
was modified to only include staff time by Fire Life Safety Specialists, as these
inspections are no longer completed by Fire Captains or Firefighter Paramedics. This
resulted in either fee decreases or a significantly lower net increase in the proposed
fees, even with the recommendation to increase the City's cost recovery to 100%.
2. Operation Permit: Level 1 and Level 2 (new or renewal) Annual — MGT and staff
evaluated the fee methodology of these services, which previously included the hourly
rate based on the full Engine Company (combination of Captain, Engineer and
Firefighter). While the Engine Company may fully be onsite to complete inspections
related to these permits, the Engine Company must remain on call to respond to
emergencies. If the Engine Company receives a call, it will respond; therefore, the
entity being inspected should not bear the full cost of the Engine Company. As such,
MGT and staff propose changing the methodology to include an average (in lieu of the
total) of the hourly rates for the Fire Captain and the Firefighter Paramedic partially
comprising the Engine Company, which amounts to approximately one-third of the
rate and decreases the basis for the staff time of the Engine Company from $960.29
to $358.54. The table on the following page summarizes the net impact of this change
on the fees for these two permits.

With these changes in the fee calculation methodology, staff is recommending increasing
the City's cost recovery to 100% for all services within this division. Attachments C and D
therefore propose amending NBMC Section 3.36.030 Exhibit "A" to remove these
services as an exception to the City's policy of recovering less than 100% of costs
incurred.
Other Updates
Even when a department is not scheduled for a comprehensive fee study, occasionally,
operations will change enough that the non -studied departments will request one or two
fee study changes for consideration and adoption. As part of this study and in an effort to
present a comprehensive and thorough update on the City's fees and current operations,
staff considered the following additional updates outside of the departments scheduled to
be studied:
Harbor Department — The Harbor Department was last studied in the prior fiscal year.
Pursuant to NBMC Section 17.10, most commercial activity in the Harbor requires
obtaining a Marine Activities Permit (MAP). As part of the prior study, department staff
worked with the Harbor Commission to identify two categories of the most common
business types that would be required to obtain a MAP, including 1) Service Providers
and 2) Charters, Boat Rentals, and Human -Powered Rentals. Fees were proposed and
approved for the initial application for each business type, respectively. In addition, a
single fee for a renewal application for either business type was approved. In further
evaluating the staff time incurred to process a renewal for these applicants, MGT and
staff is recommending differentiating between the renewals for each business type. The
existing renewal fee of $439 would be retained for the renewals for Charters, Boat
Rentals, and Human -Powered Rentals, while a new fee would be added for the renewals
for Service Providers of $84.
All Departments / Other Municipal Code Revisions — As part of this fee study update,
MGT and staff reviewed the fees in all departments for consistency with California or
federal statute to ensure the fees in the SRFF align with the cost recovery set by the
applicable statute. To that end, the Notary Services Fee is proposed to increase from
$10 to $15 to correspond to the increase authorized by Government Code Section 8211.
In addition to this one statutory change, staff is proposing three new fees that would be
applicable to all City departments:
1. User Services not otherwise identified in the SRFF — This fee is proposed to be based
on actual cost and will utilize the fully burdened hourly rate for personnel. This fee is
intended to serve as a generic pass-through fee that each department may use on a
limited basis to charge on an hourly basis for unusual services. Staff anticipates that
this will provide departments with additional flexibility and ensure the City is able to
recover the cost of services in unique situations that would ordinarily not be
addressed by the fees included in the SRFF, whereas previously such services would
need to be provided free of change if a fee had not otherwise been specifically
established. As outlined in Attachments C and D, the proposed redlines to the NBMC
adjust the definition of "User Services" to cover the existing cost -of -service fees as
well as this proposed additional fee.

Approval of the Fiscal Year 2021-22 Fee Study Update
April 12, 2022
Page 9
The Finance Department will provide guidelines for the use of these hourly rates to
each department and will approve each use of this fee to ensure that it is
appropriately applied. Any use of these hourly rates that becomes recurring in nature
would require a full cost -of -service fee study at the next opportunity to create a user
fee for the identified service.
2. Appeals (excluding appeals to fines) — Applicant Unsuccessful and Applicant
Successful — Similar to the approach outlined above, these two fees are proposed to
be generic pass-through fees and will be calculated utilizing the full hourly. This fee
will address any situations where a specific fee has not been established for atypical
or infrequent types of appeals. For appeal fees, the City has generally included a
cost recovery of less than 100% for both successful and unsuccessful applicants in
order to not discourage potential appellants from exercising the right of appeal due
to fee(s) being cost -prohibitive. To that end, Attachments C and D include a
modification to NBMC Section 3.36.030 Exhibit "A" proposing that the City recovers
50% of the cost incurred by the City for appeals when the applicant is unsuccessful
and 0% in cases where the applicant is successful, which is generally consistent with
the City's cost recovery for other appeals fees.
In addition to the updates specified above, staff is proposing to modify the NBMC to
include the authority for the City Manager or Finance Director to waive fees for services
up to an amount of $5,000 per occurrence, which is comparable to the waiver limit staff
identified in a survey of other comparable agencies. This waiver authority is intended to
only be utilized in limited circumstances where an existing SRFF fee is incorrect, has
been identified as higher than the cost incurred by the City, or should not be charged.
Finance and City Attorney's Office staff are proposing the following criteria under which
a fee may be waived: the imposition of the fee would exceed the actual cost to the City
or would result in duplicative fees for services rendered. In cases where a fee is waived,
and to the fullest extent possible, staff will document the reasons for the waiver.
Rental Fees - California law also allows the City to charge market rates for the use of
government property, such as renting a room in a City facility. While restricted by City
Council Policy B-13 Public Use of City Facilities and not included in MGT's study of
cost -of -service fees, as part of studying the Recreation Services and Library Services
fees, department staff completed a market survey for applicable rental fees/deposits —
facility and room, gymnasium field, and park rentals — to ensure that the City's charges
are in line with comparable jurisdictions. Rental fees within the Aquatics Program relating
to both exclusive and shared use of the Marian Bergeson Aquatic Center (MBAC) Pool use
are proposed to increase upward by approximately 10%. This increase is warranted given
the results of the market survey as well as the increase in the City's costs to facilitate the
use of the pool. The fees have not been adjusted during the five-year period since the
Recreation Services fees were last studied. On a going forward basis, the MBAC Pool
use rental fees have been adjusted to increase by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) similar
to other Recreation Services rental fees within the SRFF. Staff is not proposing any other
material updates to these fees. Excluding the MBAC Pool rental fees that will be increased
by CPI effective July 1, 2023, applicable rental fees are set to increase effective July 1,
2022.

Approval of the Fiscal Year 2021-22 Fee Study Update
April 12, 2022
Page 10
CPI Updates - The applicable rental fees within each studied department, as well as all
applicable fees listed in the SRFF that are subject to CPI increases based on prior
resolutions, are due to be increased by CPI effective July 1, 2022. The City's methodology
in calculating the change in CPI is by using March of the prior year to March of the current
year. While the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics will not provide the CPI for March 2022
until April 12, 2022, staff anticipates that the percentage change from March of the prior
year to March of the current year may be comparable to that of the percentage change of
February of the prior year to February of the current year, which is 7.9%. Accordingly, an
increase of approximately 8% to eligible fees may result in fees that are more than the
actual cost of providing the user services. Therefore, staff recommends adjusting the
methodology to only increase applicable fees by 2% effective July 1, 2022. Subsequent
to July 1, 2022, and for the applicable cost -of -service fees within each of the studied
departments as part of this fee update, fees will again be increased annually in future
years by the percentage change in CPI. Staff will revisit this issue again next fiscal year
in the event that the percentage change in CPI continues to be significantly above the
percentage change in the actual costs underlying the City's fees.
Public Works — The Public Works Department was last studied in the prior fiscal year.
As part of this study, the full cost of the RGP Dredging Permit fee presented at the Finance
Committee meeting on February 18, 2021, was $3,203, up from the prior existing fee of
$1,900. However, after the Finance Committee meeting, the fee consultant discovered a
formula error in the allocation of consultant costs to projects; Anchor QEA refined the
breakdown of its costs, which increased the originally projected costs; and finally, time
estimates for the City's Administrative Manager were reviewed and reduced. These
adjustments resulted in the cost of the RGP Dredging Permit increasing to $7,766.
However, in accordance with staff's recommendation, the City Council approved a cost
recovery percentage of 42% to maintain the fee at $3,262, more closely aligned to the
amount reviewed and approved by the Finance Committee. This approval was contingent
upon staff returning to the City Council as part of this fee study update with a refined
methodology to support either retaining, or proposing an adjustment to, the City's cost
recovery for this permit based on discussions with the Harbor Commission and the
collection of additional data over a one-year period to better understand the program and
the fee related impacts to the permittees.
Since the Council's direction to collect additional data, operational limitations have
prevented the collection of adequate data for City staff to fully analyze the program for
the Harbor Commission's consideration. Existing dredging permittees that have been
authorized to initiate dredging activities in May 2022 have been on hold for approximately
1.5 years and paid the permit fee that was in place prior to July 1, 2021. Since the new
fee became effective, there have been no new applications. Dredging activities were
placed on hold due to the identification of invasive algae in the harbor, which halted all
dredging activity. With the identification of this algae, regulations will only allow for
dredging to take place from May to December. Additionally, new regulatory requirements
resulting from the algae's identification place a significantly higher financial burden on
applicants, including the completion of three surveys that are approximately $1,500 each,
in addition to the fee that is paid to the City. As this upcoming window where dredging
activity is permitted will only include permittees who paid the prior fee, applicants under
the new, higher fee will not be permitted to dredge until May 2023.

Approval of the Fiscal Year 2021-22 Fee Study Update

Page 11
Therefore, staff recommends deferring any changes to the fee or the level of cost recovery
until the next time the Public Works Department fees are studied in Fiscal Year 2023-24,
which should coincide with when staff will have one year of data to analyze per the
Council's prior request.
Fee Schedule Format Changes — Over the next year, staff will be researching the format
of fee schedules used in other comparable local government agencies that focus on
simple, effective communication. Staff will continue to utilize the existing SRFF as an
internal mechanism to track critical fee related information, such as the last studied date,
the fees eligible for CPI increases, and the historical increase/decrease of each fee.
However, as the SRFF is a customer service document, staff anticipates creating a
separate version that would be available on the City's website with the goal of improving
this communication tool by simplifying the information presented to be that which is most
useful to the community. As the current SRFF available on the City's website is 28 pages
with 1,131 lines, many columns, and small print, staff has received concerns and heard
frustration from constituents concerning the SRFF's lengthy and complex nature. While
the SRFF is intended to be a resource for constituents, the document is often a bit
overwhelming, and in lieu of identifying the information needed, constituents end up
contacting the City for assistance in confirming fee and fine information. In addition, staff
will be completing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Fee Study and Citywide Cost
Allocation Plan in the next few months. To that end, whether a new consultant is selected
or staff continues with MGT, staff will be reviewing, in concert with the selected consultant,
the most effective presentation delivery methods of fee study updates to the Finance
Committee and the City Council. This may result in some formatting changes with the
information and the executive summaries that are presented before the Committee as
part of this update. Staff welcomes any feedback from the Committee on the format of the
public copy of the SRFF and/or the format of the fee study executive summaries and
materials presented to them and the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Staff estimates that these fees, if approved by the City Council as recommended, will
amount to approximately $608,324 in additional revenues to the General Fund. This is an
increase of approximately $427,702 in revenue to the General Fund compared to the
$180,622 presented to the Finance Committee, which is primarily due to the additional
fees related to requests for building permit extensions. However, this projection does not
account for any fees where volume statistics are unavailable. The City Council's policy of
ensuring regular review of the City's cost -of -service fees and adequate cost recovery will
continue to ensure adequate cost recovery from users of the City's fee -related services.
This then facilitates the redirection of general tax revenue currently subsidizing
fee -supported services to maintaining and enhancing non -fee supported services and
programs.

1 Notary Services Staff is increasing the fee to correspond to the increase authorized by Government Code Section 8211.
2, 3 Appeals - for any user services appeal not otherwise specified - Staff recommend these new generic pass-thru fees that will be based on the actual cost and will utilize the full hourly and burdened rate of personnel. These fees will
Applicant Unsuccessful and Applicant Successful address any situations where a specific fee has not been established for atypical or infrequent types of appeals. Consistent with the City's practice to generally recover
less than 100% of costs incurred in order to not discourage potential appellants from exercising the right of appeal due to feels) being cost -prohibitive, the NBMC
Section 3.36.030 Exhibit A is updated to include a City recovery of 50% of the costs incurred for unsuccessful applicants and 0% of the costs incurred for successful
applicants.
4 User Service not otherwise identified Staff recommend this new fee that will be based on actual cost and will utilize the full hourly and burdened rate of personnel. This fee is intended to serve as a generic
pass-thru fee that each department may use to charge on an hourly basis for unusual situations.
5 MAP (renewal) - Service Provider Staff recommend this new fee to differentiate between the renewal of Marine Activities Permit (MAP) for the two different business types — 1) Service Providers and
2) Charters, Boat Rentals, and Human -Powered Rentals — due to the difference in time spent between the two. This new fee will cover the MAP renewal for Service
Providers and the existing fee in the Schedule of Rents, Fines, and Fees (SRFF) will be retained for the MAP renewal for Charters, Boat Rentals, and Human -Powered
Rentals.
6 3 -Year Permit 1st Extension Request of Bldg Official Staff recommend this new fee to be accompanied with the application to the Building Official for the consideration of the first extension request beyond the 3 -Year

7 3 -Year Permit Deadline -Hearing Fee NBMC 15.02.095 (105.3.4)(1)(d) Staff recommend this new fee to be accompanied with the application to a hearing officer for subsequent extension requests beyond the 3 -Year time limit. The fee
covers the estimated staff time associated with scheduling a hearing officer, the estimated time of the hearing officer, and the public notice that is required.

CPI three (3) times consecutively and shall not thereafter be adjusted for CPI until a cost
study is conducted for that department, with the exception of rental rates which are subject
to CPI adjustment annually unless modified by adoption of a separate resolution;
WHEREAS, it is anticipated that the CPI percentage change from March 2021 to
March 2022 may exceed the increase in City costs, which may result in a fee adjustment
greater than the actual cost of providing the user service;
WHEREAS, to ensure that the annual fee adjustment does not exceed the actual
cost of providing the user service, the annual fee adjustment effective July 1, 2022, which
is provided for in Resolution No. 2021-21, Section 5, shall not exceed 2%;
WHEREAS, subsequent to July 1, 2022, pursuant to Resolution No. 2021-21, fees
will increase annually by the percentage change in CPI, unless the City Council adopts a
resolution finding that the percentage change in CPI may exceed actual costs;
WHEREAS, contemporaneous with this resolution, an ordinance was presented
to the City Council for adoption, Ordinance No. 2022-10, to amend Subsection (B) of
Section 3.36.010 (Findings) of the NBMC to clarify the findings related to user services,
amend Section 3.36.020 (Definitions) of the NBMC to update the definition of user
services, amend Subsection (E) of Section 3.36.030 (Cost Recovery Percentages) of the
NBMC to update waiver of fees, and amend Exhibit A of Section 3.36.030 (Cost Recovery
Percentages) of the NBMC to update the modification percentage for user services; and

and the EV Overstay Charge as set forth in the SRFF.
Section 2: Direct pass through and statutory fees in the SRFF may be updated
by the Finance Director, as necessary, without further action by the City Council, to ensure
recovery of all cost.
Section 3: The City Council hereby reaffirms all CPI adjustments to the SRFF
that occurred prior to the adoption of this resolution. For all rental rates, fees and charges
not modified by this resolution, the City Council affirms the annual CPI adjustment that

Section 4: In accordance with Resolution No. 2021-21, Section 5, the first
annual automatic CPI adjustment to rental rates, fees and charges, adopted by this
resolution that are subject to adjustment, as set forth in Exhibit 1, shall occur on July 1,
2023. For purposes of annual CPI adjustments to rental rates, as set forth in Section 5
of Resolution No. 2021-21, this resolution shall not constitute a "separate resolution" as
that term is used in said resolution.
Section 5: Any portion of any prior resolution, the SRFF, or Master Fee
Schedule that conflicts with this resolution, is hereby repealed and of no further force or
effect. For purposes of this Section, the limitation on the CPI adjustment that is set forth
in this resolution shall not be deemed to conflict with Resolution No. 2021-21.

affect the validity or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this resolution. The City
Council hereby declares that it would have passed this resolution, and each section,
subsection, sentence, clause or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or
more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid or

WHEREAS, on March 10, 2022, the proposed revisions to Exhibit A to Section
3.36.030 (Cost Recovery Percentages) of the NBMC, were presented as a receive and
file to the City's Finance Committee; and

revisions to Subsection (B) of Section 3.36.010 (Findings), 3.36.020 (Definitions), and
Subsection (E) and Exhibit A to Section 3.36.030 (Cost Recovery Percentages) of the
NBMC.
NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Newport Beach ordains as
follows:
Section 1: Subsection (B) of Section 3.36.010 (Findings) of the NBMC, is
hereby amended to read as follows:
B. The City performs other services and offers certain programs which are
funded in whole or in part by the person or entity requesting the service or
requesting to participate in the program. These services and programs are
typically initiated by an application submitted by the person requesting the
service or program participation, primarily benefit the person requesting the
service or program participation, and are traditionally funded in whole or in part
from fees charged to the person who initiates the service or program
participation.
Section 2: Section 3.36.020 (Definitions) of the NBMC, is hereby amended to
read as follows:
For purposes of this chapter, the following definitions shall apply:
"Actual cost" means the estimated cost to the City of providing a user service to a
user as initially determined by analysis of the cost factors in the studies and as
modified from time to time in accordance with changes in cost factors.
"Cost factors" means the various factors identified in the studies relevant to the
calculation of the actual cost to the City of providing user services to a user.
"Cost recovery percentage" means the percentage of the actual cost to the City
of providing a user service that the City Council determines should be recovered
from the user.
10-39
Ordinance No. 2022 -
Page 3 of 12
"Cost studies" means the Cost of Services and Cost Allocation Studies

this chapter which establishes the fees and charges for user services.
"User" means the person or entity who requests, by filing an application or
otherwise, City performance of, or user's participation in, a user service.
"User services" means services or programs that are initiated by express request
or by an application submitted by the person requesting the service or requesting
to participate in the program, which primarily benefits the person requesting the
service or program participation. User services include the services and
programs identified in the user fee resolution adopted by the City Council and
which are funded, in whole or in part, by fees or charges imposed on the person
requesting the service or program participation in an amount based on the most
recent cost of services studies. User services do not include municipal services
traditionally funded by tax revenue, that are typically performed without the
express request of a person, or for the public benefit generally.
Section 3: Subsection (E) of Section 3.36.030 (Cost Recovery Percentages) of
the NBMC, is hereby amended to read as follows:
E. Fees for service established in the fee resolution may be waived by:

2. The City Manager, up to an amount not to exceed one thousand
dollars ($1,000), per occurrence, for fees imposed on nonprofit
organizations for nonprofit sponsored events; or
3. The City Manager or the Finance Director up to an amount not to
exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000.00), per occurrence, if the City
Manager or Finance Director determines that the imposition of the fee would
exceed the actual cost to the City or would result in duplicative fees for
services rendered.

Chapter 3.36
COST RECOVERY FOR USER SERVICES
Sections:
3.36.010 Findings.
3.36.020 Definitions.
3.36.030 Cost Recovery Percentages.
3.36.040 Late Fees and Charges.
3.36.050 Severability.
3.36.010 Findings.
The City Council of the City of Newport Beach finds as follows:
A. The City funds certain municipal services such as fire, police and residential trash collection using
primarily property, sales and other tax revenues. These municipal services are typically performed
without request by the user, benefit the public generally, and are traditionally funded by tax revenue.
B. The City performs other services and offers certain programs which are funded in whole or in part
by the person or entity requesting the service or paFtieipat+Rgreguesting to participate in the program.
These services and programs are typically initiated by an application submitted by the person requesting
the service or program participation, primarily benefit the person requesting the service or program
participation, and are traditionally funded in whole or in part from fees charged to the person who
initiates the servicesservice or program participation.
C. The City Council has retained consultants to conduct cost allocation plan and cost of services
studies. Cost allocation studies determine the general City and departmental overhead rates to be used
in calculating the cost of City services. Cost of services studies determine the costs of providing certain
City services by, among other things, identifying the City employees performing the service and the
amount of time spent in performing the service. The City Council has thoroughly reviewed and
considered the studies prior to adopting the ordinance codified in this chapter. In order to ensure that
fees charged for services are an accurate reflection of actual costs, the City Council finds that cost
studies should be conducted at least every five years.
D. The Finance Committee of the City Council has conducted public meetings to discuss the cost
allocation plan and cost of services studies, the factors relevant to the appropriate cost recovery
percentage for the services studied, and to receive public input on the issues. The Finance Committee
has submitted recommendations to the City Council regarding the appropriate cost recovery percentage
and those recommendations have been reviewed and considered by the City Council prior to adopting
the ordinance codified in this chapter.
E. The City Council has fully complied with provisions of State and local law in establishing the cost
recovery percentages specified in this chapter, including, Section 66000 et seq. of the Government
Code, and Articles XIIIC and XIIIB of the State Constitution. (QFd. 2008 14 § , (Exh ,) (paFt) 2004: n. r
07 4 § 1 (part) 1997)

3.36.020 Definitions.
For purposes of this chapter, the following definitions shall apply:

determined by analysis of the cost factors in the studies and as modified from time to time in
accordance with changes in cost factors.
"Cost factors" means the various factors identified in the studies relevant to the calculation of the actual
cost to the City of providing user services to a user.
"Cost recovery percentage" means the percentage of the actual cost to the City of providing a user
service that the City Council determines should be recovered from the user.
"Cost studies" means the Cost of Services and Cost Allocation Studies conducted by the City's
consultant(s).
"Fee resolution" means the resolution adopted by the City Council pursuant to this chapter which
establishes the fees and charges for user services.
"User" means the person or entity who requests, by filing an application or otherwise, City performance
of, or user's participation in, a user service.
"User services" means th-e-services or programs that are initiated by express request or by an application
submitted by the person requesting the service or requesting to participate in the program, which
primarily benefits the person requesting the service or program participation. User services include the
services and program identified in the ^^user fee resolution adopted by the City Council and
which are funded, in whole or in part, by fees or charges imposed on the use person requestin g# the
service or program participation in an amount based on the most recent cost of service studies. User
services do not include municipal services traditionally funded by tax revenue, that are typically
performed without the express request of a person, or for the public benefit generally. (04 2008
1 Exh. 1lir , 2008:wnrcr97v4 § i(pa Ft), 199:7)
3.36.030 Cost Recovery Percentages.
A. The municipal functions the City Council has determined to be user services and for which the City
Council has initially determined the actual costs and the appropriate cost recovery percentage are
described in the fee resolution. The cost recovery percentage appropriate for each user service shall be
one hundred (100) percent with the exception of the user services listed in Exhibit "A" and those
services for which the fee is limited by statute. The City Council may include in the fee resolution a
schedule to phase in specific fee increases over a period not to exceed four years.
B. The City Council shall establish, pursuant to the fee resolution, the actual fee or charge for each user
service described in the fee resolution. The fee or charge shall be based upon the actual cost of
providing the user service, multiplied by the relevant cost recovery percentage.
C. The City Council may, without amending this chapter, modify (increase or decrease) the fee
resolution to amend the amount of any fee or charge for, and the actual cost of providing, any user
service upon a determination that there has been an increase or decrease in one or more of the cost
factors relevant to the calculation of the actual cost of providing that service.
