SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Department: FINANCE
Prepared by: Paul Navazio, Finance Director City Manager Approval: ______________
TOPIC: PROPOSED UPDATE TO MASTER FEE SCHEDULE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION UPDATING THE CITY’S MASTER FEE SCHEDULE FOR FISCAL YEAR
2025-26
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This report has been prepared for the City Council to consider fee increases above the automatic CPI-
based adjustment for selected programs and services, as required to meet target cost recovery levels
(primarily in Building and Planning services and Recreation programming). The target cost recovery level
(primarily related to ambulance transport fees) is also recommended to be increased. Other adjustments
to the Master Fee Schedule are proposed to align fee structures with current program and service
offerings and eliminate outdated and obsolete fees.
This report summarizes the changes incorporated through the proposed update to the City’s Master Fee
Schedule. Attachment 4 provides a redline version of the proposed revisions to the Master Fee Schedule
document. Exhibit A (Attachment 2) and Exhibit B (Attachment 3) provide “clean copies” of the FY 2025-
26 Master Fee Schedule, consistent with the recommendations included in this report.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommend that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing an update to the City’s Master Fee
Schedule for fiscal year (FY) 2025-26 to adjust fees for selected programs and services where fee
increases beyond previously approved increases based on specified Consumer Price Index (CPI) are
required to meet and maintain target cost recovery levels.
BACKGROUND:
In December 2022, following a comprehensive rate study, the City Council adopted a resolution
authorizing updates to its Master Fee Schedule, with approved fees becoming effective July 1, 2023.
Furthermore, the adopted resolution authorizes annual fee increases, based on annual increases in the
San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward All Urban Consumers’ Price Index (CPI-U), not to exceed 3.0% per
year. These automatic (CPI-based) fee increases were established to take effect as follows:
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2
• Childcare Fees – August 2025 (Concurrent with the start of the 2025-26 school year)
• Recreation Fees – January 1, 2026
• All Other Fees – July 1, 2025
Fee schedule updates ensure that the City operates sustainably and recovers costs for programs and
services, including plan review, building and fire inspections, and use of the public right-of-way. State
law, including Propositions 26 and 218, provides explicit guidance and restrictions on allowable rates,
which are capped at 100% cost recovery for most fees. Some fees in the Master Fee Schedule are set
below the level required for full cost recovery, typically when the program or services are deemed a public
benefit.
As part of developing the FY 2025-26 budget, staff have reviewed the fees included in the Master Fee
Schedule to identify fees where built-in CPI-based annual increases were insufficient to maintain target
cost recovery levels. Specifically, the February-to-February increase in the referenced CPI was 2.70%.
By comparison, costs associated with selected City programs increased by more than the rate of inflation,
largely due to personnel cost increases resulting from negotiated labor agreements with the City’s
represented and unrepresented bargaining groups.
Revisions to the Master Fee Schedule fall within specific categories.
• Master Fee Schedule revisions requiring City Council action:
o Proposed fee increases that exceed the authorized CPI-based adjustment
o New fees recommended to be added to the Master Fee Schedule
• Master Fee Schedule revisions that do not require City Council action:
o Fees where no change is proposed
o Fees being increased consistent with the pre-approved CPI-based adjustment (2.70%,
rounded to the nearest dollar)
o Fees being eliminated (where the City no longer provides a specific service)
While formal City Council action is only required in cases where a) a proposed increase to an existing
fee exceeds the authorized CPI-based increase and b) a new fee is being proposed, other changes are
highlighted in this report for maximum transparency.
Among the items clarified in this update to the City’s Master Fee Schedule is the inclusion of the
explanation, where applicable, to how the City calculates Fully Burdened Hourly Rates (FBHR) for fees
recovering staff costs. Specifically, the Master Fee Schedule provides that FBHR’s are based on average
base pay for applicable classifications, plus the citywide fringe benefit rate, plus citywide 10% overhead
rate.
ANALYSIS:
This section of the report summarizes changes being proposed for the FY 2025-26 update to the City’s
Master Fee Schedule.
1. General Service Fees
Master Fee Schedule revisions within the General Services category include fees where no change is
proposed and proposed increases are consistent with CPI-based adjustments (2.70%, rounded to the
nearest dollar).
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 3
Please refer to Attachment 2, page 1, for proposed revisions to this section.
2. Police Service Fees
Master Fee Schedule revisions within the category of Police Services include fees where no change is
proposed, and the establishment of a new fee category.
The new fees are being proposed as part of the FY 2025-26 Master Fee Schedule Update and include
the addition of the Rotation Towing Services category pursuant to City Council Resolution 14206
(adopted October 2016), with proposed fee adjustments that align with current Marin County/California
Highway Patrol (CHP) rates.
Please refer to Attachment 2, page 2, for proposed revisions to this section.
3. Library Service Fees
No changes are proposed for fees within Library Services.
4. Fire Service Fees
Master Fee Schedule revisions within the category of Fire Services include fees where increases are
proposed, across-the-board, consistent with CPI-based adjustments (2.70%, rounded to the nearest
dollar), and eliminating one fee where service is no longer provided.
In addition, the Fire Department recommends increasing the fees charged for Emergency Medical
Services to reflect, a) increased costs related to personnel salary and benefits and b) increasing the
target cost recovery level to full cost recovery (100%) from 75% based on comparative rates charged
within the market.
Please refer to Attachment 2, pages 4-6, for proposed revisions to this section.
5. Building and Safety Service Fees
Master Fee Schedule revisions within the category of Building and Safety Services include fees where
no change is proposed, proposed increases are consistent with CPI-based adjustments, modifications to
fee descriptions, and the addition of fees. The latter primarily includes fees related to Massage
Establishment Operator Permits.
In addition, City staff recommends increases to certain fees above CPI of 2.70%. A comparison of
recommended fee adjustments is included in Attachment 4 to this report. In general, the proposed fee
adjustments are summarized as follows:
• Valuation-Based Fees 3% increase
• Software Integration & Support Fee 3% increase
• Massage Establishment (Sole Proprietor) 3% increase
• Hourly Inspection Fees 3.5% increase
• Residential Building Reports 7% increase
• Massage Establishment (4+ Employees) 237% increase
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 4
Fees for massage establishments with four or more employees are proposed to increase this significantly
in order to achieve full cost recovery (100%); therefore, the fee increase of $703 have been calculated to
reflect the costs associated with increasing inspections and enforcement of Chapter 10.90 of the San
Rafael Municipal Code. Currently the fees are woefully inadequate to conduct the code enforcement
operations needed to ensure compliance.
Please refer to Attachment 2, pages 7-8, for proposed revisions to this section.
6. Planning Service Fees
Master Fee Schedule revisions within the category of Planning Services include fees where no change
is proposed, modifications to fee descriptions, and the addition of fees. The latter includes the addition of
fees that are specific to cost recovery of staff time for reviews and entitlements performed.
In addition, City staff is recommending a 5.00% increase to all fees based on a review of program costs
in relation to cost recovery targets and an analysis of comparable rates charged within the market.
Please refer to Attachment 2, pages 9-10, for proposed revisions to this section.
7. Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing Permit Fees
In prior years, the Master Fee Schedule separated the Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing permit fee
categories. The proposed revisions include combining these categories into one exhibit and consolidating
individual permit fees (e.g., cost per electrical outlet) with the established minimum permit fee. In addition,
Master Fee Schedule revisions within this revised category include modifications to fee descriptions and
the elimination of fees where the specific service is no longer provided.
Please refer to Attachment 2, pages 11-17, for proposed revisions to this section.
8. Recreation Program Fees
Recreation program fee increases are based on a review of program costs in relation to cost recovery
targets, along with an analysis of comparable rates charged within the market. In 2024, the Council
authorized annual fee adjustments based on the Feb-to-Feb All Urban Consumer Index (CPI-U) for San
Francisco/Oakland/Hayward. After reviewing market rates and the desired cost recovery targets, staff
recommend a 5% increase effective January 1, 2026. Recreation fees are rounded to the nearest whole
dollar for administrative efficiency. Since certain Recreation Division Fees would remain unchanged due
to rounding, some fees have been rounded to the next highest whole dollar (e.g., pool drop-in fees).
Consistent with past direction from the City Council, selected fees for programs and facilities provided at
Pickleweed Park and Boro Community Center are set at 50% of the rates of other facilities.
Please refer to Attachment 2, pages 18-20, for proposed revisions to this section.
9. Child Care Fees
Childcare fee increases are based on a review of program costs in relation to cost recovery targets, along
with an analysis of comparable rates charged within the market. While the Childcare Fund generally
achieves less than full cost recovery, personnel costs for FY 2025-26 are expected to exceed the program
revenues. For FY 2025-26, the Childcare Fund is proposed to include expenditure appropriations of $3.52
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 5
million and revenues of $3.34 million. The Childcare Fund will require $176,000 in available fund balance
to cover the shortfall.
Program Area Proposed Change Effective Date
Childcare - Afterschool Programs 5% increase August 1, 2025
Childcare – Parkside Preschool Tuition and
Summer Kids Camp
10% increase August 1, 2025
A 5% fee increase is proposed to address rising program costs for Afterschool Program Fees, day use,
and registration fees. A 10% increase is proposed for Parkside Preschool Tuition and Summer Kids
Camp program fees. Despite these fee increases, City of San Rafael Childcare program fees are
expected to remain lower than those of most regional providers for similar services. Pickleweed
Preschool is a State-subsidized, part-day program, so it is not affected by these fee updates.
Another change reflected in the Fee Schedule is the consolidation of Afterschool Program Fees to a
standard fee schedule. In recent years, the Miller Creek School District (MCSD) and San Rafael City
School District (SRCS) changed their bell release schedules and offerings for Transitional Kindergarten
and Kindergarten programs.
Historically, the program maintained slightly different fees due to significant differences in the daily,
weekly, and annual number of program hours offered at each school district. However, those differences
no longer exist due to changes to school hours of operation. This change would standardize the Childcare
Afterschool Program Fees across school districts. This change will lead to a simpler fee schedule, more
consistency across program sites, and reduced administrative complexity.
Please refer to Attachment 2, page 20, for proposed revisions to this section.
10. Public Works Service Fees
Master Fee Schedule revisions within the category of Public Works Services include fees where no
change is proposed, and increases are proposed consistent with CPI-based adjustments.
Please refer to Attachment 2, pages 21-22, for proposed revisions to this section.
This section includes fees for the City's Streetaries program. City staff will propose an economic vitality
incentive program at the June 23, 2025, City Council meeting to support local businesses by offsetting
some of the costs associated with maintaining a compliant streetary.
11. Administrative Citation Fees
Master Fee Schedule revisions within the category of Administration Citation Fees include fees where no
change is proposed and the addition of fees. The latter is the addition of an Administrative Citation Fee
pursuant of our Municipal Code Chapter 8.19, “Social Host Ordinance,” and cost aligns with other
established public nuisance citation fees.
Please refer to Attachment 2, pages 23-25, for proposed revisions to this section.
12. Sewer and Drainage Fees
There are no changes proposed for fees within Sewer and Drainage Fees.

PUBLIC NOTICE:
The City provided notice of this public hearing and the proposed update to the Master Fee Schedule, and
information was made available to the public in advance of the hearing in accordance with Government
Code Sections 66016 through 66018.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
The proposed action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per CEQA
Guideline 15061(b)(3) in that it does not have the potential to significantly affect the environment.
NEXT STEPS:
Following adoption of the City’s Master Fee Schedule for FY 2025-26, staff will continue to evaluate fees
across all program areas to achieve cost-recovery, as appropriate, as well as identify areas where fees
can be established to reduce the burden of general fund tax revenues supporting programs and services
benefiting specific users. This work includes undertaking a comprehensive review of Recreation Program
Fees and related cost-recovery targets as well as updating the City’s development impact fee program.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed changes to the Master Fee Schedule will increase revenue for the City; however, most
CPI-based adjustments and increases aimed at maintaining existing cost recovery targets have been
factored into the revenue estimates used to develop the FY 2025-26 budget.
The proposed fee increases for the City’s Emergency Medical Services, which includes increasing the
overall cost recovery level for this program, would result in an estimated $450,000 in additional revenues
on an annualized basis and have been included in the Paramedic Fund revenues for FY 2025-26.
OPTIONS:
The City Council has the following options to consider on each of the resolutions:
1. Adopt the resolution as presented.
2. Adopt resolution with modifications.
3. Direct staff to return to the City Council with more information.
4. Take no action.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommend that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing an update to the City’s Master Fee
Schedule for fiscal year (FY) 2025-26 to adjust fees for selected programs and services where fee
increases beyond previously approved increases based on specified Consumer Price Index (CPI) are
required to meet and maintain target cost recovery levels.

*Due to school district schedule changes, MCSD and SRCS program sites will now utilize a standard Childcare Afterschool Program Fee.
Historically, we have maintained different fees for MCSD due to significant differences in days and program hours which no longer exist
due to changes to MCSD release schedules and days of operation. This proposal will align district fees, reducing administrative
complexity.
Note: San Rafael Community Gardens are for use by San Rafael residents only. Beginning 1/1/22, gardeners that moved out of San Rafael are no longer
eligible to participate in this program. Current gardeners who moved out of San Rafael prior to January 1, 2022 were allowed to retain their garden plot.
