SUBJECT: A REPORT REGARDING POSSIBLE FEE INCREASE & SERVICES
ADJUSTMENT FOR BUILDING & SAFETY SERVICES
I . Introduction
•
Fees for Building and Safety services must be adjusted from
time to time in order to assure that the cost of these
services is borne by the beneficiary of the services . The
cost of these services increases gradually and continuously.
Fees should be adjusted on a regular basis in order to
maintain effective programs and an appropriate level of
service to the community. Currently the Building and Safety
service provider has reduced staffing in response to the
reduction in building activity. Inasmuch as supporting
revenue is also being reduced; there is a need to consider the
level of service provided to the public by Building and Safety
at this time.
II . Fee Discussion
A. Status of Current Fees - Building and Safety Fees were
last adjusted on May 31, 1988 when they were set at 40%
above the County Fee Schedule. As of July 1, 1991 the
Consumer Price Index has increased by 16 . 5% since the
fees were last adjusted. Attachment No. 1 is a Building
and Safety Fee comparison which demonstrates that
building permit fees are currently slightly higher than
neighboring jurisdictions and much lower than other
cities .
Currently, fees are collected and a certain percentage of
the fees are set aside in an account or "cap" . The
contract service provider bills against this cap. The
extreme reduction in building activity has reduced
revenue below the level that will support the Building
and Safety program. The City is currently not covering

the costs of this service from the level of activity
fr being experienced either on a monthly or an extended
monthly average basis .
B. Recent History Regarding Fee Collected/Cost for Service -
The average monthly cost of the Building and Safety
service program for the past eight ( 8) months is $13, 794 .
The average monthly revenue for the past eight months is
$23, 158 . If the larger peak from the month of July is
removed; the average for a seven month period is only
$8,773 .
Currently a variety of tasks are being accomplished by
the contract service provider which has been charged
against the "cap" or carryover amount each month. These
activities include the following:
1 . Assemble and maintain such records as are
customarily maintained by a City Building
Department. Such records shall at all times be the
property of the City and shall be open for City
inspection.
2 . Assist with preparation of annual building and
safety budgets .
3 . Maintain copies of the Flood Insurance Rate Map
(FIRM) in the building and safety office for the
convenience of the public .
4 . Report public nuisances to the City.
5 . Prepare State required Strong Motion
Instrumentation Fund (SMIF) reports and submit same
to City to allow for timely submission to the
State.
6 . Prior to permit issuance, calculate and ensure
payment of the police facilities, fire facilities
and SMIF fees .
In the future the City will need to be very careful in
differentiating the type of charges inasmuch as they may
not be connected with a fee and will further erode the
"cap" or carryover amount. These additional types of
tasks should be authorized only under a specific work
request approved by the City.

C. Financial Structures - Building and Safety staff has
contacted neighboring jurisdictions and inquired about
the structure of Building and Safety program finances .
The trend among neighboring cities and the County is to
expect that Building and Safety programs be 100% self
supporting. Other jurisdictions, however, do not
recognize that administrative overhead is a cost of
running a Building and Safety program. Their programs
are, for the most part, self supporting but they do not
pay for an appropriate share of the indirect costs
associated with the administration of the City.
Moorpark's Building and Safety program runs on a fee
schedule that is roughly equivalent to neighboring
jurisdictions . The direct costs of the program are
covered by approximately 61% of the fees collected. (The
contractor provides Plan Check review for 66 . 67% of fees
collected and Inspection for 58 . 33% of fees collected.
61% is the weighted average of these two figures . )
Approximately 39% of fees collected are available to
support other Community Development activities,
principally planning. It is also needed for "extra" work
related to Building and Safety activity when no fee is
collected. An example is the various new State law
changes such as the unreinforced masonry building
requirements .
D. The Recession - All neighboring jurisdictions that were
contacted are in the process of coping with the recent
downturn in construction activity. (Reduction
accomplished by the elimination of one inspector and
reduced hours by the Building Official. ) Two
jurisdictions indicated that their Building and Safety
programs are being subsidized from the general fund in
order to retain in-house staff during the recession.
Moorpark's Building and Safety program has been scaled
back by approximately 50% in response to the recent
downturn in activity. Certain economies have been
available due to the integration of this program with the
City Engineering program. The City Engineering contract
currently requires the following:
1. Provide an office within the City.
2 . The office is to be open to the public between the
hours of 8:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Monday through
Friday.
CRL-12:16:91-12:25pm C:\WP51\PJR\B6512.18
The Honorable City Council
December 17, 1991
Page -4-
Although a discussion regarding fee adjustments during a
period of recession may be questioned, all fees should be
appropriately raised at any time so that those who
benefit from the service are paying for it.
E. Regular Review - Fees should be reviewed on a regular
basis in order to assure smooth continuity of the
program. Long delays between fee adjustments necessitate
increases which appear higher. Regular review assures
very modest adjustments . Fee schedules that keep up with
inflation will help to avoid drastic adjustments in the
future.
For these reasons several neighboring jurisdictions have
adopted fee resolutions which require regular annual
review of fees . The City of Moorpark has recently
adopted a resolution setting valuations for building
permits and this resolution mandates an annual review of
this aspect of the fee structure.
F. Suggested New Fees and Surcharges
1 . Geology and Soils Review Fee - The City has
recently been faced with problems associated with
geology and soil failures . More problems of this
type may be anticipated as the number of ideal
building sites dwindle. Many of these problems may
be traced to inadequate grading control and review.
Major jurisdictions in Southern California who have
accumulated similar experience have established
geology and soil review systems to assure that
geology and soil engineering reports are reviewed
by qualified geologists and soil engineers who are
specialists in these fields . They are also best
qualified to advise grading inspectors and building
inspectors on matters relating to grading
compaction and control and foundation design when
problems are discovered during construction. A fee
should be collected to provide this service.
Although the fee is collected by Building and
Safety the amount is determined by the City
Engineer as a provision of the Subdivision Final
Processing Fee Schedule. This proposed fee is
related to the construction within a certified pad
only and is not the same fee chargeable by the City
Engineer for Tract or Parcel Map geology review.
CRL-12:16:91-12:25pm C:\WP51\PJR\B&S12.18
The Honorable City Council
December 17, 1991
Page -5-
The City of Moorpark has six conditions that
suggest the value of establishing a geology and
soil review mechanism.
a. The City is in a hillside environment with
future development occurring in steeper areas.
b. Settlement problems have recently been
identified.
c . Typical development in the City involves
extensive grading operations with homes being
built on compacted fill.
d. The City contains an area of high water table
and granular soil that makes structures
located within it more susceptible to severe
damage in earthquakes due to liquefaction.
e. Known geologic faults traverse the City.
f. The City has a wide range of soil conditions
from granular to highly expansive clays .
2 . Building Permit Surcharges - Currently there is a
State-mandated building permit surcharge available
which relates to the State-adopted handicap access
regulations. The State allows the City to recover
the cost of enforcement of this State-mandated
program. The State Codes allow a five percent (5%)
surcharge to be applied to permit and plan review
fees where compliance with handicapped regulations
is required. This fee surcharge is not currently
being collected and it is proposed to be collected
at this time. It will impact only commercial and
industrial developers .
3 . Proposed Changes in Determining Value - Building
permit and plan review fees are based upon the
Building Official 's estimate of the cost of the
construction. This estimate is called the
"valuation" .
Recent action of the Council has fixed the per-
square-foot estimate to the average construction
costs published in the technical journal of the
International Conference of Building Officials for
Good Quality Residential Construction. Currently,
CRL-12:16:91-12:25pm C:\WP51\PJB\B6512.18
The Honorable City Council
December 17, 1991
Page -6-
all residential construction is being valued at
$71 . 80 per square foot. No change is proposed to
this value at this time for the referenced good
quality construction.
The City has recently approved two subdivisions in
hilly areas of large parcels suitable for large
luxury custom homes . Large custom homes often
involve highly engineered and complex framing
systems which require more time to plan check and
inspect. The repeated use of the same plan that
allows building inspectors to memorize plans and
move efficiently does not exist with custom homes .
When large homes are built in hilly areas they
often involve complex foundation systems and large
retaining walls . Such foundation systems consume
more plan check and more inspection time. Typical
large luxury homes in other hilly areas are
actually costing between $100 - $150 per square
foot, not $72 per square foot. Attachment No. 2 is
a comparison which demonstrates that Moorpark's fee
schedule for large luxury home development is very
low. ( If we assume that the actual cost of
construction for large luxury home development is
$125 per square foot then the percentage of cost
due to Building and Safety fees is only four-tenths
of one percent. For example a 3600 sq. ft. dwelling
unit at $125 per sq. ft. construction value would
provide a $450, 000 dwelling unit. An average
permit cost for a 3600 sq. ft. home would be
approximately $2,000; the permit would be about
four-tenths of one percent of the homes value. )
Two adjustments are suggested:
a. That a two-tier valuation schedule be adopted
that includes typical costs for good
construction and very good (custom)
construction. Large custom homes with certain
characteristics will be valued at $90 per
square foot. Good quality construction would
continue to be valued at $71 . 80 per square
foot in accordance with Council 's recent
action.
b. That the valuation of homes that are built on
complex caisson and grade beam foundations or
that involve large retaining walls typical of
CRL-12:16:91-12:25pm C:\WP51\PJR\B&512.16
The Honorable City Council
December 17, 1991
Page -7-
hillside construction be increased by five to
twenty percent.
Exhibit "B" of the attached draft resolution
(Attachment No . 5 ) outlines the
characteristics that will be used to
differentiate between classes of construction.
III. Service Level - The Building and Safety service provider has
reduced staffing of the Building and Safety program in
response to the downturn in building activity. These
reductions in staffing have reduced the average monthly cost
of the Building and Safety program by approximately forty-
three percent. Average costs for service through May 1990 was
$25,000 per month. From April 1990 through February 1991 the
average monthly cost of Building and Safety services was
$15,000 . From March 1991 through October 1991 the average
cost is about $13,000 . The average costs include both plan
check and inspection plus any extra costs that have been
billed against the "cap" . Such as the fireplace shroud and
substandard building matters .
Savings are also being experienced because City Engineering is
being provided by the same provider and certain personnel and
overhead costs are being shared by both programs . These
savings are demonstrated by Attachment No. 2 .
However, the building activity level has reduced to a level
where the average monthly fees collected will not support the
minimum program as defined in the contract with the
serviceprovider. Currently, the contract with the service
provider requires that the program be provided with a public
service counter open eight hours a day, five days a week and
a next day inspection guarantee. It should be noted that
inasmuch as the Building and Safety contractor is providing
engineering services; the engineering contract requires that
an office be open eight hours a day, five days a week.
Building and Safety and City Engineering share the same office
and some of the coordination activities with outside public
and private utility agencies are accomplished by the same
person. Some clerical, counter, minor plan check and quasi-
administrative functions for both departments can be
accomplished by one person.

The Honorable City Council

A. Options - After reviewing this matter it was determined
that options were characterized as being of two types .
The first centered on how to retain the existing service
level and the second at what level was a "minimum"
service acceptable.
To consider the first option there needs to be an
understanding that the current level of permit revenue is
not sufficient to carry the service without a subsidy
from the Community Development Fund or General Fund.
Caution should be noted on the use of such funds inasmuch
as they are not unlimited and reductions from such will
reduce future options for other programs and services
provided by such funds . The current 91/92 Budget does
not provide the ability for the City to sustain such an
activity for any length of time.
The second option is a consideration towards a minimum
level of service as follows:
1. Counter Hours
The current contract requires that the inspector be
available in the office a minimum of two hours per
day. The Building and Safety office is currently
staffed by a building inspector and a clerical
person. Consider the elimination of the inspector
at the counter freeing up this position to do
inspection. Note that the inspector would more
than likely be in the office and not completely
unavailable.
No change to office hours is considered inasmuch as
this must remain open under the City Engineering
contract. As a matter of fairness the clerk's
responsibilities could be split with the primary
counter person between the two offices .
2 . Inspection Hours
Currently the Building and Safety office retains an
inspector for eight hours, five days a week.
Consideration could be made to retaining an
inspector for only two hours per day, five days a
week. With the integration of the City Engineers
office this same inspector should be made available
to accomplish those tasks .
5 days x $48 x 2 hrs . /day = $1920/mth.
CRL-12:16:91-12:25pm C:\WP51\PJR\B&S12.18
The Honorable City Council
December 17, 1991
Page -9-
3 . Clerk/Permit Technician Hours
With the integration of Building and Safety and
city engineering services this position could be
supported by a 50/50 share in the cost of this
position.
5 days x $29 x 4 hr/day = $2320/mth.
4 . Building Official Hours
With the reduction in work load it would be
expected that the amount of time needed for
administration should be reduced.
4 weeks x $70 x 1 hr/week = $280/mth.
Total $4520 per month
With this reduced level of service there may not be the
ability to guarantee next day inspection service.
Consideration should be made in adjusting this matter
also. The above is a suggested absolute minimum level of
service which this office could provide. There are
opportunities to consider various options between current
service levels and this minimum level . However, it
should be recognized that even the suggested minimum
level of service may require some form of subsidy from
the Community Development Fund or General Fund to support
the service. This cost could be up to $4,520 per month
if no revenue is generated to support the service.
IV. Staff Recommendation
A. That the City Council concur with the need to:
1 . Increase to Building and Safety fees;
2 . Establish new fees regarding geology and soils
reviews;
3 . A two-tier range of valuations for residential
construction;
4 . And the establishment of a valuation surcharge for
complex foundation systems; and
5 . Direct staff to set this matter of Building and
Safety Fee Increase for public hearing on January
8, 1992 .

RESOLUTION NO. 91-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOOR-
PARK, CALIFORNIA ADOPTING A REVISED FEE SCHEDULE FOR
SERVICES RENDERED PURSUANT TO THE MOORPARK CITY CODE
RELATING TO BUILDING AND SAFETY SERVICES.
WHEREAS, state law and the Moorpark City Code require the
performance of certain plan review, inspection and other services
by the Building Official for the purpose of safeguarding the
public health, safety and welfare; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Moorpark deems it
appropriate for the cost of such services to be borne by the
users and beneficiaries of same; and
WHEREAS, the fee schedules for to these services must be
revised from time to time to assure the complete recovery of
costs associated with rendering such services;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK,
CALIFORNIA DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1 . That fees for Building and Safety permits,
plan review and other services shall be as set forth in Exhibit
"A" attached hereto.
SECTION 2. That the Building Official shall determine
valuation of construction projects using the multipliers set
forth in Exhibit "B" attached hereto.
SECTION 3. That fees specified herein shall take effect
immediately.
SECTION 4 . That resolution number 88-477 relating to
