CC - Item 2C - Discussion of Proposed Fee Adjustments for 2014-15ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: JEFF ALLRED, CITY MANAGER DATE: APRIL 22, 2014 SUBJECT: DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED FEE ADJUSTMENTS FOR 2014 -15 SUMMARY Consistent with the City's Guiding Principles for Fiduciary Responsibility, fees are reviewed and updated on an annual basis. This ensures that fees for "individualized" services, that are not of general benefit to the community, do not unduly burden the other taxpayers in the City. The fee categories under consideration for adjustments include charges to non- residents for participation in certain Parks & Recreation programs. Also, adjustments are proposed for business license renewal fees to offset a portion of the City's increased costs to process the licenses and conduct related regulatory activities. This item is presented to the City Council in a workshop setting for review and comments only. No final actions will be taken at this workshop. It is envisioned that the Comprehensive Fee Resolution will be placed on the agenda of a future City Council meeting. Staff Recommendation: That the City Council review and comment on the proposed fee adjustments for the upcoming 2014 -15 Fiscal Year. BACKGROUNDIANALYSIS The significant proposed changes for the upcoming 2014/15 fiscal year are summarized below. Business License Fees All businesses in Rosemead are required to obtain a business license. The purpose of the fee is to provide regulatory authorization for businesses to operate within the City's jurisdictional boundaries. Also, the fees enable the City to partially recover costs for processing and regulatory functions. Rosemead's business license fees are comparatively low. In 1992, the City Council approved setting the City's business license fees equal to those of Los Angeles County. (In fact, Rosemead Municipal Code Section 5.04.010 provides that the County ITEM NUMBER'.. City Council Meeting April 22. 2014 Review of Draft Annual Comprehensive Fee Resolution Update for Fiscal Year 2014 -15 Page 2 of 2 provisions for business licenses are to be adopted by reference.) However, for the ensuing 18 years after 1992, the City did not adjust its fees to keep pace with inflation despite the fact that the County fees rose significantly. In 2010, the Rosemead City Council approved a "phase -in" approach to adjusting the City's business license fees to be more consistent with County fees. At that time in 2010, most of the City's business license fees were increased by an amount to cover one -third (1/3) of the gap between the City's fee and the County's fee. Now, at this point in time, staff is not proposing large or significant increases to business license fees. Rather, staff is proposing a minor adjustment only for the annual renewal of business licenses. Effective in the upcoming 2014 -15 fiscal year, the business license renewal fees are proposed to be adjusted by $25 per year to partially offset increased costs for processing and regulatory activities. Please refer to Attachment A for details on the proposed adjustments. Parks and Recreation Fees Attachment B is a listing of Parks & Recreation Dept. fees with all proposed changes indicated by strikethroughs. This year, in reviewing aquatics fees, we are proposing adjustments to some non - resident fees to provide for cost recovery. Proposed adjustments are for group swim (from $40 to $45) and private lessons (from $120 to $125) and Aqua Aerobics (from $55 to $60). Additionally, while we distinguish between residents and non - residents in other program areas, we do not in instructional classes. Nearly 50% of participants are non - residents. Thus, we are proposing an administrative fee of $5 per person per class to be assessed against non - resident participants. Further, we are including a increase to light fees at the Sports Complex (from $15/$30 to $25/$60) for consistency purposes. Sports Complex light fees will, then, be consistent with current lighting fees for Rosemead Park and Garvey Park. (It is proposed that local youth sports organizations continue to be exempt from paying light fees.) Finally, the Strategic Plan includes a proposal for an evening /Saturday city -wide youth basketball program. The proposed fee for the program is $40 for residents and $60 for non - residents to include a ten week season, jersey, and award. Additional changes to the Comprehensive Fee Schedule simply serve to simplify the document and eliminate duplication. LEGAL REVIEW The City Attorney has reviewed the draft Resolution (Attachment A) and the Development Impact Fee study (Attachment B).
