2020-016 Development Services and Engineering Development ReviewDate: February 14, 2020 Report No. 2020-016
INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT: The purpose of this Informal Staff report is to provide a financial update of Development Services (Planning/Building Inspections) and Engineering Development Review.
BACKGROUND: During the FY 2019-20 budget process, the City contracted with Matrix Consulting Group (Matrix) to complete an in-depth cost of service analysis for the City’s Development Services
Department. At the conclusion of this study, a policy decision was made to increase the percentage
of cost recovery recouped from development fees. The adopted cost recovery was 84% to be recouped by development fees and the remaining 16% to be covered by the General Fund. Overall, the increase in development fees resulted in approximately $2.8 million in additional budgeted revenue in FY 2019-20. This increase in revenue contributed to the City being able to adopt a tax
rate equal to the effective rate (no new tax rate) in 2019. Staff is currently monitoring revenues
and expenses monthly to ensure the policy decision is being achieved. As shown Table 1 below, year-to-date revenues exceed expenditures by $323,537. The expenditures are under-inflated in Development Services as a result of vacancies including Senior Planner, Historic Preservation Officer, and Development Project Facilitator position. The expenditures also exclude indirect costs
associated with the General Fund (i.e. human resources, finance, accounting, etc.).

In 2018, the City contracted with HR Green to perform a portion of private development plan
review to augment City Staff. Beginning in September 2019, the City expanded contracted services to perform all private development plan review. In order to meet the demand, HR Green has two fulltime onsite Facilitation Engineers conducting reviews. The FY 2019-20 budget was based on a full cost recovery model for development review engineering. To ensure cost recovery, staff monitors revenues and expenses monthly. As shown Table 2 below, expenses currently exceed
revenues by $101,079. This is mainly contributed to the cost associated with projects that were under review prior to the new fees taking effect on October 1, 2019. It is anticipated, that a budget amendment will be needed in the coming months to fund expenses associated with the HR Green contract through the end of the fiscal year. Additionally, staff is continuing to refine the process of
assessing fees and application assignment to ensure cost recovery.
