Item 9 - Ordinance Amending PMC Revising Fees for Bldg. Permits -. f( AGENDA REPORT CITY OF POW A Y TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: James L. Bowersox, City Man~ INITIATED BY: Reba Wright-Quastler, Director of Planning Services DATE: March 23, 1993 SUBJECT: An Ordinance of the City of Poway, Amendin9 Chapters 15.02, 15.04, 15.08, 15.12 and 15.16 of the Poway Municipal Code adopting the 1991 Uniform Building Code and Associated Technical & Administrative Codes and a Resolution Revising Fees for Building Permits, Electrical Permits, Plumbing Permits, Mechanical Permits and Plan Check Fees. ABSTRACT The attached ordi nance and reso 1 ut i on propose the adopt i on of 1991 uni form construction codes and revision of building permit, electrical permit, plumbing permit, mechanical permit and plan check fees. BACKGROUND On December 12, 1989 the City Council adopted the 1988 version of the Uniform Buildin9 Code and associated technical codes. These codes have been replaced by the 1991 codes which are currently being enforced based on state law. It is necessary for the City Council to specifically adopt amendments to the codes, however, to incorporate special fire proof roofi ng requirements which are necessary because of the fire hazards associated with Poway's location. The fee schedule for building permits, electrical permits, p 1 umbi ng permits, mechanical permits, and plan check fees was last amended in August 1987. In March 1992 the Council considered a proposed revision to the fees but declined to approve the changes pending outcome of the City management and fee studies and further justification by the City's Building Safety contractor. On February 16, 1993 the Council received the Phase I report of the Hughes Heiss study which recommended, among other things, that the building safety fees be increased. At the February 16 meeting Council directed staff to begin implementation of the Phase I recommendations. ACTION: ~ 1 of 45 '1 ~~-~- ~ -- ---- --------- Agenda Report March 23, 1993 Page 2 In February 1992 the Construction Industry Federation (CIF) reviewed the proposed fee increases and indicated that they would not oppose the increases according to the following time schedule: existing fees to increase 10 percent effective on July 1, 1992 and 10 percent effective on January 1, 1993; disabled access plan check and field inspection fee effective April 15, 1992; and energy conservation plan check and inspection fee effective July 1, 1992 (see Attachment 2). All of the currently proposed fees are identical to those proposed in March 1992 and all of the above deadlines have now passed. In February 1993, the CIF was once again asked to comment on the proposed increase and they indicated that they support the increase with the disabled access, energy conservat i on, and 1/2 of the existing fee increase being effective 60-days after adoption with the remaining 1/2 of the existing fee increase being effective 6 months later (see Attachment 3) . Given that a year has passed since the fee increase was originally considered and that the CIF did not oppose having all of the new fees in place by January 1, 1993 in their 1992 response, staff suggests that a 11 of the proposed fees should become effective 60 days after adoption. FINDINGS In a memo dated January 19, 1993 (see Attachment 4) Richard Esgate, of Esgil Corporation, details costs associated with providing building division services to Poway, projected revenues to cover those costs and explains all of the things that Esgil has done to reduce their cost of providing services to Poway. This attachment also includes information comparing Poway's building permit costs with those of other cities in San Diego County. In the past, the building safety division has operated on a full cost recovery basis, Because of the nature of the contract with.Esgil, the City was buffered from the impacts of reduced revenues in this area; however, because of fixed overhead costs and the level of revenues currently being experienced, the City will no longer recover all of its costs unless the fees are increased. It is therefore recommended that the City Counc i 1 adopt the attached resolution adopting a revised fee schedule for building inspection services, In addition, two new requirements went into effect during 1992 that require add it i ona 1 plan check and inspect ion servi ces. These are the state mandated disabled access requirements which went into effect on April 15, 1992 and the energy code requirements which went into effect on July 1, 1992. The proposed fee schedul e includes fees to cover the cost of pl an check and inspection services related to these new requirements, ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed actions are categorically exempt from CEQA under Class 21, Enforcement Actions by Regulatory Agencies. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND CORRESPONDENCE Pub 1 i c not ice was pub 1 i shed in the Poway News Chieftain, The Construction Industry Federation has also been informed of the proposed increases. 2 of 45 MAR 2 3 1993 ITEM 9 ~ - -,- Agenda Report March 23, 1993 Page 3 FISCAL IMPACT Action will result in an increase in revenues to the City from building permit activities. The total amount depends on the volume of activity. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Counc il close the publ i c heari ng, hol d fi rst reading of the attached ordinance, set second reading for April 6, 1993 and adopt the attached resolution amendin9 the fee schedule for building inspection services effective May 23, 1993.

Our support of this increase . Engineering & General is contingent upon a phase-in of the fees.

The proposed energy conservation fee should become effective 6O-days after fmal adoption of the ordinance. It is vital to realize the impact new fees have on the private sector given the poor economic conditions. However, in this case, CIF believes the above proposaI is workable and fair.

TONY SNESKO, Councilmember KATHY MCINTYRE, Councilmember January 19, 1993 TO: Reba Wright-Quastler Director of Planning services FROM: Richard Esgate ,0- Building Official SUBJECT: Adoption of latest editions of the technical building code related model codes and fee adjustments for Building Permit, Electrical Permit, Mechanical Permit and Plan Check Services In late 1991 Esgil Corporation proposed to the City that the fees charged for building permits, electrical permits, plumbing permits and mechanical permits be adjusted to cover the increased costs of providing building division services to the City of Poway. The fees currently in effect have not been adjusted since they were originally published in the 1985 edition of the Uniform Building Code. These fees were adopted by the City of poway in August of 1987 at the time that the 1985 editions of the State mandated building code related model codes were adopted. No fee revisions were proposed at the time of adoption of the 1988 editions of the model codes in December of 1989. Every three years the Uniform Building Code and related codes promulgated by the International Conference of Building Officials ( lCBO) are updated and these codes become the basis for the State of California Building Standards Code (Title 24 of the State of California Code of Regulations). The State of California mandates that each local jurisdiction enforce the latest state adopted versions of these codes. The 1991 editions of the Uniform Building Code (UBC) , Uniform Mechanical Code (UMC) and Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) are currently mandated by the State to be enforced. Similarly the 1990 edition of the National Electrical Code (NEC) promulgated by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is currently mandated to be enforced at the local level. The attached ordinance adopts the above referenced codes along with the 1991 edition of the Uniform Administrative Code (UAC) which provides the administrative provisions for all of the technical model codes.

(619)748-6600.695-1400 MAR 2 3 1993 ITElJ: 9 - Reba Wright-Quastler January 19, 1993 Page 2 In March of 1992 the City Council considered a fee increase proposal relating to building division fees but decided to postpone approval of the recommended fees until the fee analysis being conducted by Management Services Institute (MSI) was completed and the fees could be re-evaluated in accordance with the MSI study. The MSI study does not specifically evaluate the fees charged by the Building Division because it is a contract service. However, it does raise some basic factors among which is the following statement, "the current fee structure may allow for excess revenues to be collected by the City, but may not allow equitable recovery of costs for the private contractor." As far as Esgil Corporation is concerned the speculation by MSI that there may not be equitable recovery of costs for the contractor is correct. Although we have always maintained our service levels consistent with or better than the levels stipulated in our contract with the City we have been forced to take drastic measures to reduce corporate expenses to stay in business. We feel that we have reached a point of cost reduction beyond which we cannot go. Since October of 1990 the following actions have been taken and remain in effect due to a downturn in construction activity and an obsolete fee structure. 1. Effective 10/1/90 all management salaries were reduced by 20%. 2. Effective 10/1/90 a freeze was put on hiring new 'staff. 3. Effective 10/1/90 a freeze was put on all non- management salaries. 4. Effective 10/1/90 plan check staff, other than those assigned specifically to those cities where we perform full building department services (i.e.: poway), were placed on a 32 hour work week which remains in effect. 5. Employee terminations started in November, 1990 and to date we have reduced the excellent staff, that we had recruited over the past twelve years, by 47% i.e. from 43 in September, 1990 to 23 today; considering the 32 hour week and 20% management salary reductions, the 47% becomes approximately 55%. 6. Discretionary spending has been drastically reduced. 7. Shareholders have added an additional $250,000 of paid in capital to the Corporation. 8. We have sold six vehicles that previously were used by terminated field inspectors. 9. Managers are planchecking and providing backup and _ relief for counter technicians and field inspectors. 15 of 45 MAR 2 3 1993 ITEM q Reba Wright-Quastler January 19, 1993 Page 3 We believe the cost reduction actions we commenced approximately 27 months ago would, without question, far exceed any actions taken by any City or County operated building department, both in the timeliness of our actions and the severity of those cost reduction actions. Unlike many City operated building departments, we have not been able to supplement the fees collected with funding from the general fund. We also have no discretion regarding the disposition of the 25% of the fees collected which is retained by the City for its overhead costs. The only appropriate remaining viable option to maintain necessary service levels is to revise the fee structure to be more reflective of costs. The fee proposal consists of three main elements. The first of these elements is approximately a 20% increase applied to the basic fee schedule. This 20% increase is based on an approximate annual inflation rate during the past five years of 4% per year for providing the service. It should be noted that during the four years from August of 1987 through September of 1991 the consumer price index, a national recognized indicator published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, increased at a rate of 20.8% for the urban consumers indicator (CPI-U) and 19.9% for the urban wage earners and clerical workers indicator (CPI-W). In fact, certain costs associated with providing the service have escalated at a far greater rate than the 4% mentioned. Costs of providing health insurance for employees, errors and omissions insurance and workers compensation for the Building Division regulatory functions have been increasing at a much steeper rate as have many of the materials and supplies we use. The second main element of the fee proposal is to charge a disabled access inspection fee which would apply to all projects required by State law to be accessible to the physically disabled. Disabled accessibility has become an important part of the building code related regulatory process. Recent federal legislation has resulted in a tightening-up of State laws relative to accessibility. Disabled access laws have become a key part of the plan review and field inspection process. A survey of 17 jurisdictions county-wide shows that 10 of them have a disabled access related fee in place and that such a fee is currently being proposed in 2 additional jurisdictions including the City of Poway. The proposed disabled access inspection fee is 10% of the building permit fee. 16 of 45 MAR 2 3 1993 ITElv. 9 --...---- - - Reba Wright-Quastler January 19, 1993 Page 4 The third main element of the fee proposal is to charge an energy code inspection fee which would apply to all projects required by State law to comply with the energy conservation standards of the California Energy Commission. Energy regulations have become increasingly complex and in many cases sophisticated calculations and design approaches are necessary to bring even a residential room addition into compliance with State energy regulations. This added complexity adds significantly to the regulatory process. We conducted a county-wide survey of 17 jurisdictions and found that 12 jurisdictions were already charging an energy related fee and an additional 2 jurisdictions are proposing to charge such a fee. This fee is proposed to be 15% of the building permit fee. The Building Division in the City of Poway is a self supporting component of City Government. The cost of providing the service is covered by the fees collected through the building permit process. No change in the 1981 contractual arrangement with Esgi1 Corporation, the provider of Building Division services, will be required under this proposal. The 25% of building - division revenues that are retained by the City will be augmented by the proposed fee schedule. The amount of revenue that will be realized by the City is dependent upon the level of construction activity that will occur subsequent to the approval of the fee resolution. Current and proposed fees have been compared with other jurisdictions in San Diego County. These comparisons are shown on the attached bar graph (Attachment titled County Wide Building Permit Fees) . It should be noted that the International Conference of Building Officials Administrative Conuni t tee has been working on a proposal to be considered for inclusion in the 1994 editions of the Uniform Administrative Code and Uniform Building Code. Their current proposal (see attached International Conference of Building Officials Administrative Code Development Committee Fee Proposals) which has been receiving favorable support from the Building Official conununity is substantially higher in all areas than the fees currently being proposed for adoption in the City of Poway. We have prepared a comparison of current and proposed fees with the Administrative Code Development Committee proposal for your review (see attached). The same fees proposed for poway have been adopted with Building Industry support in three other local cities where Esgil provides building department services: Lemon Grove, Encinitas and Solana Beach. The attached resolution sets forth a complete listing of all proposed fees. 17 of 45 MAR 2 3 1993 ITEM 9 -------------------------- Reba Wright-Quastler January 19, 1993 Page 5 In addition to the Ordinance, Resolution, County wide bar graph, comparison of fees to the Administrative Code Development Committee proposal and the actual Code Development Committee proposal mentioned above we have also attached a comparison of existing and proposed fees.

The City is situated in hilly, inland terrain. Approximately 50 percent is "wildland" for fire purposes, covered by native vegetation on steep and frequently inaccessible hill sides. The nat i ve ground cover is highly combustible grasses, dense brush and chaparral. Natural fi re breaks in these areas are significant, 2. The Poway cl imate is warm and dry. The wi nds prevai 1 from the west; however, seasonal strong dry east winds are variable in duration and i ntens ity. These winds can significantly enlarge a wildland fire as well as cause abrupt and unpredictable changes in fire direction. Temperatures ranging between 75' and 100. F are common throu9hout the year. 3. The potential for fire damage is great in the wildland area; a fire can spread rapidly and response time can be slowed by difficult terrain and explosive vegetation, 4. Poway's rural road system includes narrow, winding roadways, often with grades in excess of that necessary for optimal response time for large fire apparatus. An additional factor affecting response time is the distance between the two fire stations and the fire location. 5. The rural water supply is limited, making it necessary for fire apparatus to travel time-consuming distances to obtain additional water once the initial water has been utilized. WHEREAS, a properly noticed hearing was conducted in accordance wi th - Section 65853, et seq., of the California Government Code to consider adoption of the Codes including necessary modifications.
