ACTION SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members SUBMITTED BY: Fred A. Wilson, City Manager PREPARED BY: Paul Emery, Deputy City Manager/Interim Community Services Director SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution 2011-65 amending the Citywide User Fee Schedule by revising Credit Card Processing Fees and Lifeguard Hourly Rates; and, Adopt Resolution 2011-66 amending the Citywide Schedule for Charges for Facility Rentals, Recreation Services, and Parking Rates and Terms. Statement of Issue: A public hearing was held at the City Council meeting of September 6, 2011 in order to consider fees associated with credit card transactions, lifeguard hourly rates, facility rentals, parking daily rates, parking pass rates, as well as a number of recreational fees (Attachment 1). Due to the complexity of the information presented, City Council requested that staff amend the materials for further consideration. Financial Impact: The credit card processing fees are projected to reduce the City's General Fund credit card processing costs by approximately $100,000. The balance of the fee changes are anticipated to generate an additional $100,000 in General Fund revenue for a total impact of $200,000. Staff recommends the cost savings and additional revenue generated by the proposed changes be used to assist in offsetting future fiscal year General Fund deficits. Recommended Action: Motion to: A) Adopt Resolution No. 2011-65, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Amending Resolution 2009-31 which Established a Citywide user Fee Schedule and Repealed Resolution 2007-58 and Supplemental Resolutions�� Thereto (Supplemental `Feee�) Resolution No. 4); and, / �'✓ ��- �'` , #.44 B) Adopt Resolution No. 2011-66, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Amending Resolution 2009-33 which Established a Citywide Schedule for Charges for Facility Rentals and Recreation Services and Repealed Resolution 2007-60 and all Supplemental Resolutions Thereto.

ACTION MEETING DATE: 9/19/2011 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: CS-11-019 Analysis: The proposed fees for action by the City Council are divided into two categories: Community Services and Finance Department User Fees (Resolution No. 2011- 65) and Community Services Facility Rentals and Recreation Services (Resolution No. 2011- 66). For ease of consideration, this analysis will summarize the fees according to each of these categories. For a complete listing of all fees, please refer to the Resolutions (Attachments 3 and 4). Resolution No. 2011 - 65 - User Fees I-1. Community Services User Fees Lifeguard Hourly Rates — increase from $70/hour to $80/hour. Description: To recover lifeguard staffing costs at a variety of events. This fee has not increased since September 2007. I-2. Finance Department User Fees Credit Card Convenience Fee - begin charging $2.85 per transaction. Description: The previously adopted fee of $3.95 has never been charged although the fee was on the fee schedule. Staff recommends the fee be activated at the reduced rate of $2.85 per transaction. Both of these fees were approved by the City Council at the September 6, 2011 meeting as shown in Table A below. The only final action needed is to formally adopt the fees by adopting Resolution No. 2011-65.

These fees are proposed for adoption as part of Resolution 2011-66. The fees are grouped by category and numbered. A brief summary of the proposed fee changes included in each of the categories is included below. Group A— Facility Rental Fees (See Attachment 2 for itemized listing) Description: These fees include adjustments to better reflect costs associated with staffing events at the Community Centers, the City Gym and Pool, and the Art Center. These fees have not been adjusted since June 2009. Group B — Sports Programs (See Attachment 2 for itemized listing) Description: The recommended fee adjustment will offer all youth sports programs at the uniform price of $55.00. For the majority of our youth sports programs, this is a $5.00 increase spread over an 8-week season. This creates a streamlined registration process and is easily marketable. These fees have not been adjusted since June 2009. Group C — Recreation/Duman Services (See Attachment 2 for itemized listing) Description: HB -461- Item 14. - 3 REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 9/19/2011 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: CS-11-019 These fees include small adjustments to offset increased costs associated with staffing and/or contracting services for recreation events, such as the Pier Swim, Surf Contest, or the Family Camp Out. The Project Self-Sufficiency and Senior Center event ranges of $25.00 - $75.00 and $5.00 to $50.00 respectively allow staff greater flexibility in setting fees that will offset costs. The increase in the Aquatics fees corrects the fee schedule to cover a wide range of classes. Currently Aquatics fees range from $36.00 to $70.00 for semi private lessons. Increasing the maximum to $85.00 will allow staff the ability to increase fees to cover unforeseen increases in pool rental expenses from the Huntington Beach Union High School District in summer 2012. The above fees have not been adjusted since June 2009. Group D — Art Center (See Attachment 2 for detailed listing) Description: Staff is recommending a $10.00 increase in membership fees to the Art Center, as well as increasing the maximum fee for Art Center Classes/Workshops and Art Camp. These increased maximums will assist staff in setting fees that will better assist in offsetting program expenses. Art Center fees have not been adjusted since 2003. Group E — Items Requiring Clarification (Attachment 2) Three fees that were presented as part of Items 3 and 6 in the September 6, 2011 Request for Council Action, but were not specifically addressed as part of the City Council deliberations include: (a) Oversized Vehicle Daily fee at the Huntington Central Park Sports Complex; (b) Disabled Person Annual Beach Pass; (c) Oversized Vehicle Sticker for attended beach lots. Each of these fees are numbered according to Attachment 2 and are more fully described below. E.27 Huntington Central Park Sports Complex (HCPSC) — Oversized Vehicle Fee Daily Fee Description: Currently, oversized vehicles may park in the HCPSC for the same fee as regular sized vehicles. Typically, these vehicles take up a minimum of two spaces and often three or four due to all of their sporting and camping accessories. In addition, the increased fee may serve as a deterrent to those patrons who utilize the HCPSC parking lot as a campground. The recommended fee is $10.00. E.28 Disabled Person Annual Beach Pass At the September 6, 2011 meeting, the City Council approved charging patrons with Disabled Person (DP) placards a daily fee of $8.00 effective 12/1/11 and $10.00 effective 12/1/12. Council also agreed to charging vehicles over 20 feet with DP placards $7.50 per space effective 12/1/11 and $10.00 per space effective 12/1/12. In order to be consistent with the change in DP parking for daily rates, staff previously recommended a fee of $75.00 for DP annual passes (50% of the regular pass rate). Item 14. - 4 xB -462- REQUEST FOR COUNCIL. ACTION MEETING DATE: 9/19/2011 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: CS-11-019 However, since the City Council did not approve the recommended increase of the Senior annual pass from $50.00 to $75.00, staff is now recommending that the fee be set to mirror the Senior pass rate of$50.00 which is 33% of the regular pass rate. E. 29 Oversized Vehicle Sticker Fee — Supplemental to Annual Beach Pass The final item not fully discussed at the September 6, 2011 meeting is the recommended Oversized Vehicle Sticker (OVS) of$75.00. If approved, patrons with vehicles over 20 feet in length wanting to purchase an annual beach pass would be required to purchase both an annual pass and the supplemental OVS for all types of passes. Implementing this new fee will provide a more equitable standard since oversized vehicles require a minimum of two spaces and typically remain parked in the lots all day. Finally, it should be noted that Resolution 2011-66 also includes the removal of a number of recreation fees that are no longer needed since these programs have been discontinued or are outdated.

Wilson, City Manager PREPARED BY: Paul Emery, Acting Director of Community Services/Deputy City Manager Lori Ann Farrell, Director of Finance SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution 2011-65 amending the Citywide User Fee Schedule by revising Credit Card Processing Fees and Lifeguard Hourly Rates; and, Adopt Resolution 2011-66 amending the Citywide Facility Rental and Recreation Services Fee Schedule by revising Recreational Fees, Parking Rates at the Sports Complex, Parking Passes and Parking Terms for the Downtown Area Statement of issue: City Council is asked to consider a Resolution amending the Citywide User Fee Schedule by amending existing credit card processing fees and lifeguard hourly rates, and a Resolution amending the Citywide Facility Rental and Recreation Services Fee Schedule for recreational fees, parking rates at the sports complex, parking passes and parking terms for the downtown area. Financial Impact: If approved, the credit card processing fee changes are projected to reduce the City's credit card processing costs by approximately $100,000 in the General Fund. The changes to the recreation fees, lifeguard hourly rates, facility rental fees and parking rates are projected to increase General Fund revenue by an additional $300,000, for a total estimated Fiscal Year 2011/12 General Fund positive impact of approximately $400,000 for all rate changes combined. Staff recommends the cost savings and additional revenue generated by these fee changes be used to help offset the FY 2012/2013 General Fund deficit currently estimated at $3,000.000. Recommended Action: Motion to: A) Adopt Resolution No. 2011-65, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Amending Resolution 2009-31 which Established a Citywide User Fee Schedule and Repeated Resolution 2007-58 and Supplemental Resolutions Thereto.

(Supplemental Fee Resolution No. 4)." Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the recommended action and direct staff accordingly. Analysis- At the City Council Strategic Planning Session held on January 28, 2011, the City Council directed staff to.analyze the City's existing fee, fines and penalties structure to identify potential opportunities for increasing revenue or reducing City costs. Based on this analysis, staff recommended amendments to credit card processing fees and the Citywide Rental and Recreational Fee Schedule at the City Council meeting held on April 18, 2011. At this meeting, staff was directed to re-introduce these fee amendments in the context of the Fiscal Year 2011/2012 Proposed Budget. Presented in this staff report are the same recommendations from April 18, 2011,with additional recommendations relating to disabled and oversized vehicle parking and facility reservation cancellation fees. Please also note that the recommendation has been revised to exclude credit card processing fees for utility bill payments as those costs can be reimbursed through the Indirect Cost Allocation Plan charges to the related enterprise funds (e.g. Water Fund). Credit Card processing Fees For several years, the City has allowed customers to use credit cards to make payments for City services including utility bills, parking meters, parking passes, planning and building permits, business license payments, rental facility charges and parking citations, among many others. These credit card payments may be made in person, over the phone or via the internet. Credit card processing is a convenient service for customers as it allows immediate payment for City services without the exchange of cash or the need to process checks. However, credit card processing is not a free service. The City is charged a credit card processing fee for each and every transaction of$1.90 for utility bill payments, $3.00 for parking citations and approximately $2.85 per transaction for all outer payments for a total cost to the City of about $300,000 annually. Currently, the City pays the entire cost for all credit card transactions, except in the case of parking citations. In the case of parking citations, a credit card processing fee of$3.00 is charged to the customer, resulting in a net neutral impact to the City. The City is currently fully subsidizing the cost of credit card processing fees for these other city services, resulting in a net annual fiscal impact of $267,000. Please note that the volume of credit card transactions and resultant costs have increased significantly over the past three years. In FY 2007/2008, the City paid a total of $183,200 in credit card processing fees. As of last fiscal year, that amount had increased by $81,000 or almost Item 14. - 8 1413 -466- REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 9/612011 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: FN 11-019 45% to $265,700. By the end of the current fiscal year, it is estimated the City will pay over $300,000 in credit card processing fees, roughly a 13% increase from last year. It is anticipated this amount will continue to increase annually as more customers use this option as a convenient method of payment. Given the City's current fiscal challenges, and the need to ensure that limited financial resources are preserved for the continuation of core public services, it is recommended the City discontinue subsidizing some or all of these costs. The growth in credit card payments led to the establishment of a credit card processing fee structure which was adopted by the City Council in June 2009. However, with the exception of the parking citation processing fee discussed above, the fees have not been activated (i.e. charged to the customer), leading to an annual City cost of over$300,000 by the end of Fiscal Year 2010/11. Staff recommends the existing credit card processing fee structure be amended as follows; :.F I"G�rir ' dsal ee T j Credit Card Processing Fee' j 2.6%of total charge Eliminate Credit Card Processing Fee' $3.95 Fiat Fee Reduce to$2.85 Parking Citation Processing Fee $3.00 No Change ''These fees, although approved by City Council in June 2009 and on the approved Master Fee and Charges Schedule,were never been implemented by the former City Treasurer I. Eliminate the 2.6% Credit Card Processing Fee Existing law precludes governments from charging a percentage based fee to customers for credit card transactions; hence, this obsolete fee should be officially eliminated from the City's Fee Schedule. 2. Reduce the Flat Credit Card Processing Fee The existing fee of $3.95, while approved by the City Council in June 2009, has never been activated. It is recommended this fee be activated and reduced to $2.85 per transaction which is more reflective of the costs currently incurred by the City for processing payments. Please note that parking meter payments and Library Services payments are exempted from this fee. The addition of a credit card processing fee may change consumer's habits resulting in more bills being paid by mail or in person. However, this recommendation excludes fees on credit card payments for utility bills, parking meters and Library Services; thereby minimizing the potential impact of processing additional payments by hand at City Hall. Another potential impact is that consumers may not pay their bills in as timely a manner if there is a credit card processing fee which could reduce the amount of revenue received by the City; however there is no direct evidence of such an impact in other cities that have implemented credit card processing fees. To be conservative, our estimates reflect a 10 percent "slippage" factor to address any potential revenue losses associated with changes in payment patterns after the processing fee is instituted. Please also note that consumers may avoid the credit card processing fee altogether by making payments in person, by mail Hg -467- Item 14. - 9 REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 9/6/2011 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: FN 11-019 or by AutoPay directly from their checking accounts. Another more cost effective option is to utilize an a-check which costs $0.95 per transaction. Citywide Rental and Recreational Fees These fees encompass facility rentals, special permit fees, recreational/cultural program fees; and parking rates charged by the Library Services and Community Services Departments. The proposed fee revisions include those which are summarized on the following page. 1. Regular Annual Pass The annual pass currently goes on sale each December 1 and is valid for the following calendar year, Effective December 1, 2009, this fee was increased to $150.00 from $125.00. During 2010, the total number of passes sold decreased by 15% likely due to the combined increase in the fee and the discontinuation of the quarterly pro-rated discount. Staff is recommending that this calendar year pass be changed to a 12-month period pass. As an example, if the pass were to be purchased in April, it would be valid through April of the following year. This will provide better value to those residents who may not want to purchase the pass at the beginning of the year but would like to receive the full value of the pass when they purchase it, Due to the lead time in receiving new passes, this transition would become effective in December of 2011. 2. Disabled Person Parking and Oversized Vehicles - (Flew Recommendation) Currently, there is no charge for autos parking with a Disabled Person Placard in the South Beach attended lots. Staff is proposing an $8.00 dollar daily rate which is 53% of the current standard parking fee which would be effective December 1, 2011. This fee would increase to $10.00 effective December 1, 2012. Vehicles over 20ft. in length wfth Disabled Person Placards would be charged $7.50 per occupied space effective December 1, 2011, and $10.00 per occupied space effective December 1, 2012. While the California Vehicle code allows fees to be collected from patrons with Disabled Person placards who park in surface lots, the City has never attempted to collect these fees. Free parking privileges apply only to on-street, metered parking. Currently the State charges 50% of regular parking fees for all permanently disabled patrons displaying a Disabled Person placard on their vehicle through an application system. Please note that patrons with Disabled Person Placards would still be able to park at metered spaces with no charge. 3. Senior Pass/Disabled Person Pass- (Revised Recommendation) Pass sale records indicate that there were approximately 340 more Senior Passes sold during the first quarter of 2010 and 250 fewer regular passes sold. Such a dramatic shift in purchasing patterns suggest that senior passes may be being purchased at the lower cost and transferred to another party. Item 14. - 10 HB -468- REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 9t612011 DEPARTMENT 10 NUMBER: FN 11-019 Although the Senior Pass fee has been discounted by 60% for many years, the initial purchase price was much less in prior years and was reduced at quarterly intervals throughout the year hereby reducing the incentive to transfer. In prior years the greatest difference between the two passes was $75.00 in the first quarter or $45.00 in the third quarter. Now the difference is $100.00 all year long. To eliminate this potential incentive, staff is recommending an increase to the Senior Pass from $50.00 to $75.00 beginning December 1, 2011. and from $75.00 to $100.00 beginning December 1, 2012. These two increases will eliminate the large disparity between passes while still providing a 33% discount in 2012, Two new categories of passes are also proposed. First a Disabled Person Annual Pass is proposed which would be made available at $75.00 starting December 1, 2011, and would increase from $75.00 to $100.00 beginning December 1, 2012. Second, would be an Oversized Vehicle Sticker (OVS) is proposed, which would be $75.00 for 12- months. The OVS would need to be purchased by all patrons with vehicles 20 feet or longer, regardless of category. 4. Main Promenade Parking Structure Flat Fee Effective January 1, 2010, a flat fee/pay upon entry was approved for all vehicles entering the Main Promenade Parking Structure (MPPS) after 9:00 p.m. Staff is recommending that the flat fee/pay upon entry not be collected every night of the week but rather that staff have the flexibility to collect pay upon entry fees as the parking demand calls for. The basis for this recommendation is due to the sharp decrease in the use of the structure on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings after 9:00 p.m. On the weeknights, downtown patrons tend to stay for shorter periods of time than on the weekends. Therefore, the $5.00 flat fee acts as a deterrent to parking in the structure if that patron only wants to stay two hours or less. Using the approved hourly fee schedule, a two-hour stay would only be $2.00 (or less with validation) versus $5.00. 5. Sunset Fee Adjustments (thew Recommendation) Currently, all patrons reserving a campsite are charged a one-night deposit. The deposit is kept if patrons cancel their reservation within 30 days of the date of arrival. With the pending start-up of on-line camping reservations and the ability to pay for all fees on-line, staff is recommending that a $25.00 cancellation fee be implemented for reservations canceled within 30 days of arrival. Cancellations made prior to 30 days will be covered by the reservation fee of$10.00 currently on the fee schedule. 6. Central Park Sports Complex Parking Fee The fee to park at the Huntington Park Sports Complex (HCPSC) is currently $1.00. The fee is valid for a full day and has never been increased since the opening of the HCPSC, seven years ago in May 2004. Staff recommends increasing the daily fee to $2.00. Staff further recommends that the seasonal HCPSC parking pass be increased from $10.00 to $15.00 and the annual HCPSC parking pass (for three seasons) be increased from $30.00 to $45.00. Changes in both the daily rate and seasonal passes would be effective January 1, 2012, in order to provide for proper notification of groups and organizations. HB -469- Item 14. - 11 REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 9/6/2011 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: FN 11-019 In addition to these parking fee recommendations, staff is proposing to add a $10.00 fee for vehicles over 20 feet, including overhangs at the Sports Complex. This fee would also be effective 1/1/12. 7. Marine Safety/Lifeguard dourly Rates The Marine Safety division provides lifeguarding services for a variety of events. The current lifeguard hourly rate of $70.00 has not increased since September 2007. The recommended new rate is $80.00 per hour to fully recover lifeguard staffing costs. Without this adjustment the City is subsidizing a portion of these costs. 8. Recreational Fee Increase Staff is recommending an increase of $5.00 per hour for room rental reservations occurring after business hours. The rate will increase from $20.00 to $25.00 per hour. The new rate would better reflect the costs to staff the event. The fee has not been increased in over eight years, since prior to 2003. In addition, staff is recommending that all Youth Sports programs be offered at a uniform price of $55.00 per student for the season. In the fall of 2010, Community Services initiated an Adult Soccer League using the Arena field at the Huntington Central Park Sports Complex. iJow that the program is in place and successfully operating, staff recommends setting the fee at $400.00 per team. Additionally, in order to provide greater flexibility in designing programs that cover costs, staff is recommending a new range of fees for Project Self- Sufficiency Special Event Mixers and Senior Center Dances/Events. Staff is also recommending a nominal increase of $10.00 for specific membership fees for the Art Center. Fees for the Student/Senior and Friends/Family memberships will increase from $30.00 to $40.00 per person and $50.00 to $60.00 per person respectively. Additionally, in order to provide greater flexibility in designing classes and art camps, it is recommended that the range of approved fees increase from $20.00 - $150.00 to $20.00 - $200.00 per person. An increase in Art Camp fees is also recommended from $115.00 - $190.00 to $150.00 - $200.00 per person, The Family Camp-Out site fee is recommended to increase from $10.00/space + $10.00/participant to $15.00/space + $10.00/participant to cover costs. Finally, the maximum fee for aquatics classes is proposed to increase from $45.00 per session to $85.00 per session. These fees cover all categories of swim lessons, including semi-private lessons, and allow for a range of fees for summer 2012 should pool rental expenses from the Huntington Beach Union High School District increase. The removal of the following fees is recommended since these programs are no longer being offered: the $538.00 Membership Fee at the Art Center, the Citywide Softball and Senior Softball Tournaments, Fun time Day Camp, Santa Visit, and City Track meet. With the exception of the Citywide Senior Softball Tournament, the above programs are no longer offered due to budget cuts.

INTERNET ACCESS TO CITY COUNCIL/REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY/PUBLIC FINANCING A UTHORITY A GENDA AND STAFF REPORT MATERIAL IS LOCATED UNDER THE "GOVERNMENT" TAB AT http://www.huntingtonbeachca.go------------- � **Note: Addit®onal 6nforrrtation Pertaining to /tern �2: ,; Finance Department (Exhibit B of Resolution No. 2011- 1. Eliminate the 2.6% Credit Card Processing Fee Existing law precludes governments from charging a percentage based fee to customers for credit card transactions; hence, this obsolete fee should be officially eliminated from the City's Fee Schedule. Motion: Bohr Second: Boardman Approved 4-3 (Harper, Hansen, Dwyer no) 2. Reduce the Flat Credit Card Processing Fee The existing fee of$3.95, while approved by the City Council in June 2009, has never been activated. It is recommended this fee be activated and reduced to $2.85 per transaction which is more reflective of the costs currently incurred by the City for processing payments. Please note that parking meter payments and Library Services payments are exempted from this fee. The addition of a credit card processing fee may change consumer's habits resulting in more bills being paid by mail or in person. However, this recommendation excludes fees on credit card payments for utility bills, parking meters and Library Services; thereby minimizing the potential impact of processing additional payments by hand at City Hall. Another potential impact is that consumers may not pay their bills in as timely a manner if there is a credit card processing fee which could reduce the amount of revenue received by the City; however there is no direct evidence of such an impact in other cities that have implemented credit card processing fees. To be conservative, our estimates reflect a 10 percent "slippage" factor to address any potential revenue losses associated with changes in payment patterns after the processing fee is instituted. Please also note that consumers may avoid the credit card processing fee altogether by making payments in person, by mail or by AutoPay directly from their checking accounts. Another more cost effective option is to utilize an a-check which. costs $0.95 per transaction. -8- City Council RDA/PFA Meeting September 6, 2011 Motion: Bohr Second: Boardman Approved 4-3 (Harper, Hansen, Dwyer no) Community Services Department Citywide Rental and Recreational Fees These fees encompass facility rentals, special permit fees, recreational/cultural program fees, and parking rates charged by the Library Services and Community Services Departments. The proposed fee revisions include those which are summarized on the following page. 1. Regular Annual Pass The annual pass currently goes on sale each December 1 and is valid for the following calendar year. Effective December 1, 2009, this fee was.increased to $150.00 from $125.00. During 2010, the total number of passes sold decreased by 15% likely due to the combined increase in the fee and the discontinuation of the quarterly pro-rated discount. Staff is recommending that this calendar year pass be changed to a 12-month period pass. As an example, if the pass were to be purchased in April, it would be valid through April of the following year. This will provide better value to those residents who may not want to purchase the pass at the beginning of the year but would like to receive the full value of the pass when they purchase it. Due to the lead time in receiving new passes, this transition would become effective in December of 2011. Motion: Boardman Second: Bohr Approved 6-1 (Harper no) 2. Disabled Person Parking and Oversized Vehicles - (New Recommendation) Currently, there is no charge for autos parking with a Disabled Person Placard in the South Beach attended lots. Staff is proposing an $8.00 dollar daily rate which is 53% of the current standard parking fee which would be effective December 1, 2011. This fee would increase to $10.00 effective December 1, 2012. Vehicles over 20ft. in length with Disabled Person Placards would be charged $7.50 per occupied space effective December 1, 2011, and $10.00 per occupied space effective December 1, 2012. While the California Vehicle code allows fees to be collected from patrons with Disabled Person placards who park in surface lots, the City has never attempted to collect these fees. Free parking privileges apply only to on-street, metered parking. Currently the State charges 50% of regular parking fees for all permanently disabled patrons displaying a Disabled Person placard on their vehicle through an application system. Please note that patrons with Disabled Person Placards would still be able to park at metered spaces with no charge. Motion: Boardman Second. Bohr Approved 5-2 (Harper, Hansen no) -9- City Council RDA/PFA Meeting September 6, 2011 3. Senior Pass/Disabled Person Pass- (Revised Recommendation) Pass sale records indicate that there were approximately 340 more Senior Passes sold during the first quarter of 2010 and 250 fewer regular passes sold. Such a dramatic shift in purchasing patterns suggest that senior passes may be being purchased at the lower cost and transferred to another party. Although the Senior Pass fee has been discounted by 60% for many years, the initial purchase price was much less in prior years and was reduced at quarterly intervals throughout the year hereby reducing the incentive to transfer. In prior years the greatest difference between the two passes was $75.00 in the first quarter or $45.00 in the third quarter. Now the difference is $100.00 all year long. To eliminate this potential incentive, staff is recommending an increase to the Senior Pass from $50.00 to $75.00 beginning December 1, 2011, and from $75.00 to $100.00 beginning December 1, 2012. These two increases will eliminate the large disparity between passes while still providing a 33% discount in 2012. Two new categories of passes are also proposed. First a Disabled Person Annual Pass is proposed which would be made available at $75.00 starting December 1, 2011, and would increase from $75.00 to $100.00 beginning December 1, 2012. Second, would be an Oversized Vehicle Sticker (OVS) is proposed, which would be $75.00 for 12- months. The OVS would need to be purchased by all patrons with vehicles 20 feet or longer, regardless of category. Amended to hold senior parking passes at a maximum of$75 Motion: Boardman Second: Shaw Failed 3-4 (Harper, Hansen, Carchio, Dwyer no) 4. Main Promenade Parking Structure Flat Fee Effective January 1, 2010, a flat fee/pay upon entry was approved for all vehicles entering the Main Promenade Parking Structure (MPPS) after 9:00 p.m. Staff is recommending that the flat fee/pay upon entry not be collected every night of the week but rather that staff have the flexibility to collect pay upon entry fees as the parking demand calls for. The basis for this recommendation is due to the sharp decrease in the use of the structure on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings after 9:00 p.m. On the weeknights, downtown patrons tend to stay for shorter periods of time than on the weekends. Therefore, the $5.00 flat fee acts as a deterrent to parking in the structure if that patron only wants to stay two hours or less. Using the approved hourly fee schedule, a two-hour stay would only be $2,00 (or less with validation) versus $5.00. Motion: Boardman Second: Shaw Approved 6-1 (Harper no) 5. Sunset Fee Adjustments (New Recommendation) Currently, all patrons reserving a campsite are charged a one-night deposit. The deposit is kept if patrons cancel their reservation within 30 days of the date of arrival. With the pending start-up of on-line camping reservations and the ability to pay for all fees on-line, staff is recommending that a $25.00 cancellation fee be implemented for reservations canceled within 30 days of arrival. Cancellations made prior to 30 days will be covered by the reservation fee of$10.00 currently on the fee schedule. - Motion: Boardman Second: Shaw -10- City Council RDA/PFA Meeting September 6, 2011 Approved 5-2 (Harper, Hansen no) 6. Central Park Sports Complex Parking Fee The fee to park at the Huntington Park Sports Complex (HCPSC) is currently $1.00. The fee is valid for a full day and has never been increased since the opening of the HCPSC, seven years ago in May 2004. Staff recommends increasing the daily fee to $2.00. Staff further recommends that the seasonal HCPSC parking pass be increased from $10.00 to $15.00 and the annual HCPSC parking pass (for three seasons) be increased from $30.00 to $45.00. Changes in both the daily rate and seasonal passes would be effective January 1, 2012, in order to provide for proper notification of groups and organizations. In addition to these parking fee recommendations, staff is proposing to add a $10.00 fee for vehicles over 20 feet, including overhangs at the Sports Complex. This fee would also be effective 1/1/12. Motion: Boardman Second. Bohr Failed 3-4 (Harper, Hansen, Carchio, Dwyer no) 7. Marine Safety/ Lifeguard Hourly Rates The Marine Safety division provides lifeguarding services for a variety of events. The current lifeguard hourly rate of$70.00 has not increased since September 2007. The recommended new rate is $80.00 per hour to fully recover lifeguard staffing costs. Without this adjustment the City is subsidizing a portion of these costs. Motion: Boardman Second: Bohr Approved 5-2 (Harper, Hansen no) (Exhibit A to Resolution No. 2011-65) 8. Recreational Fee Increase Staff is recommending an increase of$5.00 per hour for room rental reservations occurring after business hours. The rate will increase from $20.00 to $25.00 per hour. The new rate would better reflect the costs to staff the event. The fee has not been increased in over eight years, since prior to 2003. In addition, staff is recommending that all Youth Sports programs be offered at a uniform price of$55.00 per student for the season. In the fall of 2010, Community Services initiated an Adult Soccer League using the Arena field at the Huntington Central Park Sports Complex. Now that the program is in place and successfully operating, staff recommends setting the fee at $400.00 per team. Additionally, in order to provide greater flexibility in designing programs that cover costs, staff is recommending a new range of fees for Project Self- Sufficiency Special Event Mixers and Senior Center Dances/Events. Staff is also recommending a nominal increase of$10.00 for specific membership fees for the Art Center. Fees for the Student/Senior and Friends/Family memberships will increase from $30.00 to $40.00 per person and $50.00 to $60.00 per person respectively. Additionally, in order to provide greater flexibility in designing classes and art camps, it is recommended that the range of approved fees increase from $20.00 - $150.00 to $20.00 - $200.00 per person. An increase in Art Camp fees is also recommended from $115.00 - $190.00 to $150.00 - $200.00 per person. The Family Camp-Out site fee is -11- City Council RDA/PFA Meeting September 6, 2011 recommended to increase from $10.00/space + $10.00/participant to $15.00/space + $10.00/participant to cover costs. Finally, the maximum fee for aquatics classes is proposed to increase from $45.00 per session to $85.00 per session. These fees cover all categories of swim lessons, including semi-private lessons, and allow for a range of fees for summer 2012 should pool rental expenses from the Huntington Beach Union High School District increase. The removal of the following fees is recommended since these programs are no longer being offered: the $538.00 Membership Fee at the Art Center, the Citywide Softball and Senior Softball Tournaments, Fun time Day Camp, Santa Visit, and City Track meet. With the exception of the Citywide Senior Softball Tournament, the above programs are no longer offered due to budget cuts. The Citywide Senior Softball Tournament is now offered by the Council on Aging and is used as a fundraiser. The $538.00 Membership Fee was initially a part of a specific fundraiser which is no longer of offered. (#1) Motion to approve $400 per team fee for adult soccer leagues Motion: Hansen Second: Shaw Approved 7-0 (#2) Direct staff to return to Council with remaining fees in #8 categorized into a table, listing each fee with a number associated with it. Motion: Hansen Second: Carchio Approved 6-1 (Shaw no) (#3) Staff to revise the resolutions to reflect all votes taken on resolution exhibits and items #1 through #8 (in the staff report) and to return the amended resolutions at a future meeting for discussion/decisions on the remainder of #8 (recreational fee increases) and for resolution adoption.

Wilson, City Manager PREPARED BY: Paul Emery, Acting Director of Community Services/Deputy City Manager Lori Ann Farrell, Director of Finance SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution 2011-65 amending the Citywide User Fee Schedule by revising Credit Card Processing Fees and Lifeguard Hourly Rates; and, Adopt Resolution 2011-66 amending the Citywide Facility Rental and Recreation Services Fee Schedule by revising Recreational Fees, Parking Rates at the Sports Complex, Parking Passes and Parking Terms for the Downtown Area Statement of Issue: City Council is asked to consider a Resolution amending the Citywide User Fee Schedule by amending existing credit card processing fees and lifeguard hourly rates, and a Resolution amending the Citywide Facility Rental and Recreation Services Fee Schedule for recreational fees, parking rates at the sports complex, parking passes and parking terms for the downtown area. Financial Impact: If approved, the credit card processing fee changes are projected to reduce the City's credit card processing costs by approximately $100,000 in the General Fund. The changes to the recreation fees, lifeguard hourly rates, facility rental fees and parking rates are projected to increase General Fund revenue by an additional $300,000, for a total estimated Fiscal Year 2011/12 General Fund positive impact of approximately $400,000 for all rate changes combined. Staff recommends the cost savings and additional revenue generated by these fee changes be used to help offset the FY 2012/2013 General Fund deficit currently estimated at $3,000,000. Recommended Action: Motion to: A) Adopt Resolution No. 2011-65, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Amending Resolution 2009-31 which Established a Citywide User Fee Schedule and Repealed Resolution 2007-58 and Supplemental Resolutions Thereto. Item 12. - 1 HB -�70- REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 9/6/2011 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: FN 11-019 (Supplemental Fee Resolution No. 4);" and, B) Adopt Resolution No. 2011-66, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Amending Resolution 2009-33 which Established a Citywide Schedule for Charges for Facility Rentals and Recreation Services and Repealed Resolution 2007-60 and all Supplemental Resolutions Thereto. (Supplemental Fee Resolution No. 4)." Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the recommended action and direct staff accordingly. Analysis: At the City Council Strategic Planning Session held on January 28, 2011, the City Council directed staff to analyze the City's existing fee, fines and penalties structure to identify potential opportunities for increasing revenue or reducing City costs. Based on this analysis, staff recommended amendments to credit card processing fees and the Citywide Rental and Recreational Fee Schedule at the City Council meeting held on April 18, 2011. At this meeting, staff was directed to re-introduce these fee amendments in the context of the Fiscal Year 2011/2012 Proposed Budget. Presented in this staff report are the same recommendations from April 18, 2011, with additional recommendations relating to disabled and oversized vehicle parking and facility reservation cancellation fees. Please also note that the recommendation has been revised to exclude credit card processing fees for utility bill payments as those costs can be reimbursed through the Indirect Cost Allocation Plan charges to the related enterprise funds (e.g. Water Fund). Credit Card Processing Fees For several years, the City has allowed customers to use credit cards to make payments for City services including utility bills, parking meters, parking passes, planning and building permits, business license payments, rental facility charges and parking citations, among many others. These credit card payments may be made in person, over the phone or via the internet. Credit card processing is a convenient service for customers as it allows immediate payment for City services without the exchange of cash or the need to process checks. However, credit card processing is not a free service. The City is charged a credit card processing fee for each and every transaction of $1.90 for utility bill payments, $3.00 for parking citations and approximately $2.85 per transaction for all other payments for a total cost to the City of about $300,000 annually. Currently, the City pays the entire cost for all credit card transactions, except in the case of parking citations. In the case of parking citations, a credit card processing fee of$3.00 is charged to the customer, resulting in a net neutral impact to the City. The City is currently fully subsidizing the cost of credit card processing fees for these other city services, resulting in a net annual fiscal impact of $267,000. Please note that the volume of credit card transactions and resultant costs have increased significantly over the past three years. In FY 2007/2008, the City paid a total of $183,200 in credit card processing fees. As of last fiscal year, that amount had increased by $81,000 or almost HB -3 71- Item 12. - 2 REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 9/6/2011 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: FN 11-019 45% to $265,700. By the end of the current fiscal year, it is estimated the City will pay over $300,000 in credit card processing fees, roughly a 13% increase from last year. It is anticipated this amount will continue to increase annually as more customers use this option as a convenient method of payment. Given the City's current fiscal challenges, and the need to ensure that limited financial resources are preserved for the continuation of core public services, it is recommended the City discontinue subsidizing some or all of these costs. The growth in credit card payments led to the establishment of a credit card processing fee structure which was adopted by the City Council in June 2009. However, with the exception of the parking citation processing fee discussed above, the fees have not been activated (i.e. charged to the customer), leading to an annual City cost of over $300,000 by the end of Fiscal Year 2010/11. Staff recommends the existing credit card processing fee structure be amended as follows: Fee T Current. Proposal e Credit Card Processing Fee* 2.6% of total charge Eliminate Credit Card Processing Fee* $3.95 Flat Fee Reduce to $2.85 Parking Citation Processing Fee $3.00 No Change *These fees, although approved by City Council in June 2009 and on the approved Master Fee and Charges Schedule, were never been implemented by the former City Treasurer 1. Eliminate the 2.6% Credit Card Processing Fee Existing law precludes governments from charging a percentage based fee to customers for credit card transactions; hence, this obsolete fee should be officially eliminated from the City's Fee Schedule. 2. Reduce the Flat Credit Card Processing Fee The existing fee of $3.95, while approved by the City Council in June 2009, has never been activated. It is recommended this fee be activated and reduced to $2.85 per transaction which is more reflective of the costs currently incurred by the City for processing payments. Please note that parking meter payments and Library Services payments are exempted from this fee. The addition of a credit card processing fee may change consumer's habits resulting in more bills being paid by mail or in person. However, this recommendation excludes fees on credit card payments for utility bills, parking meters and Library Services; thereby minimizing the potential impact of processing additional payments by hand at City Hall. Another potential impact is that consumers may not pay their bills in as timely a manner if there is a credit card processing fee which could reduce the amount of revenue received by the City; however there is no direct evidence of such an impact in other cities that have implemented credit card processing fees. To be conservative, our estimates reflect a 10 percent "slippage" factor to address any potential revenue losses associated with changes in payment patterns after the processing fee is instituted. Please also note that consumers may avoid the credit card processing fee altogether by making payments in person, by mail Item 12. - 3 HB _„-2_ REQUEST FOR COUNCIL. ACTION MEETING DATE: 9/6/2011 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: FN 11-019 or by AutoPay directly from their checking accounts. Another more cost effective option is to utilize an e-check which costs $0.95 per transaction. Citywide Rental and Recreational Fees These fees encompass facility rentals, special permit fees, recreational/cultural program fees, and parking rates charged by the Library Services and Community Services Departments. The proposed fee revisions include those which are summarized on the following page. 1. Regular Annual Pass The annual pass currently goes on sale each December 1 and is valid for the following calendar year. Effective December 1, 2009, this fee was increased to $150.00 from $125.00. During 2010, the total number of passes sold decreased by 15% likely due to the combined increase in the fee and the discontinuation of the quarterly pro-rated discount. Staff is recommending that this calendar year pass be changed to a 12-month period pass. As an example, if the pass were to be purchased in April, it would be valid through April of the following year. This will provide better value to those residents who may not want to purchase the pass at the beginning of the year but would like to receive the full value of the pass when they purchase it. Due to the lead time in receiving new passes, this transition would become effective in December of 2011. 2. Disabled Person Parking and Oversized Vehicles - (New Recommendation) Currently, there is no charge for autos parking with a Disabled Person Placard in the South Beach attended lots. Staff is proposing an $8.00 dollar daily rate which is 53% of the current standard parking fee which would be effective December 1, 2011. This fee would increase to $10.00 effective December 1, 2012. Vehicles over 20ft. in length with Disabled Person Placards would be charged $7.50 per occupied space effective December 1, 2011, and $10.00 per occupied space effective December 1, 2012. While the California Vehicle code allows fees to be collected from patrons with Disabled Person placards who park in surface lots, the City has never attempted to collect these fees. Free parking privileges apply only to on-street, metered parking. Currently the State charges 50% of regular parking fees for all permanently disabled patrons displaying a Disabled Person placard on their vehicle through an application system. Please note that patrons with Disabled Person Placards would still be able to park at metered spaces with no charge. 3. Senior Pass/Disabled Person Pass- (Revised Recommendation) Pass sale records indicate that there were approximately 340 more Senior Passes sold during the first quarter of 2010 and 250 fewer regular passes sold. Such a dramatic shift in purchasing patterns suggest that senior passes may be being purchased at the lower cost and transferred to another party. HB -373- Item 12. - 4 REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 9/6/2011 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: FN 11-019 Although the Senior Pass fee has been discounted by 60% for many years, the initial purchase price was much less in prior years and was reduced at quarterly intervals throughout the year hereby reducing the incentive to transfer. In prior years the greatest difference between the two passes was $75.00 in the first quarter or $45.00 in the third quarter. Now the difference is $100.00 all year long. To eliminate this potential incentive, staff is recommending an increase to the Senior Pass from $50.00 to $75.00 beginning December 1, 2011, and from $75.00 to $100.00 beginning December 1, 2012. These two increases will eliminate the large disparity between passes while still providing a 33% discount in 2012. Two new categories of passes are also proposed. First a Disabled Person Annual Pass is proposed which would be made available at $75.00 starting December 1, 2011, and would increase from $75.00 to $100.00 beginning December 1, 2012. Second, would be an Oversized Vehicle Sticker (OVS) is proposed, which would be $75.00 for 12- months. The OVS would need to be purchased by all patrons with vehicles 20 feet or longer, regardless of category. 4. Main Promenade Parking Structure Flat Fee Effective January 1, 2010, a flat fee/pay upon entry was approved for all vehicles entering the Main Promenade Parking Structure (MPPS) after 9:00 p.m. Staff is recommending that the flat fee/pay upon entry not be collected every night of the week but rather that staff have the flexibility to collect pay upon entry fees as the parking demand calls for. The basis for this recommendation is due to the sharp decrease in the use of the structure on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings after 9:00 p.m. On the weeknights, downtown patrons tend to stay for shorter periods of time than on the weekends. Therefore, the $5.00 flat fee acts as a deterrent to parking in the structure if that patron only wants to stay two hours or less. Using the approved hourly fee schedule, a two-hour stay would only be $2.00 (or less with validation) versus $5.00. 5. Sunset Fee Adjustments (New Recommendation) Currently, all patrons reserving a campsite are charged a one-night deposit. The deposit is kept if patrons cancel their reservation within 30 days of the date of arrival. With the pending start-up of on-line camping reservations and the ability to pay for all fees on-line, staff is recommending that a $25.00 cancellation fee be implemented for reservations canceled within 30 days of arrival. Cancellations made prior to 30 days will be covered by the reservation fee of $10.00 currently on the fee schedule. 6. Central Park Sports Complex Parking Fee The fee to park at the Huntington Park Sports Complex (HCPSC) is currently $1.00. The fee is valid for a full day and has never been increased since the opening of the HCPSC, seven years ago in May 2004. Staff recommends increasing the daily fee to $2.00. Staff further recommends that the seasonal HCPSC parking pass be increased from $10.00 to $15.00 and the annual HCPSC parking pass (for three seasons) be increased from $30.00 to $45.00. Changes in both the daily rate and seasonal passes would be effective January 1, 2012, in order to provide for proper notification of groups and organizations. Item 12. - 5 HB -174- REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 9/6/2011 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: FN 11-019 In addition to these parking fee recommendations, staff is proposing to add a $10.00 fee for vehicles over 20 feet, including overhangs at the Sports Complex. This fee would also be effective 1/1/12. 7. Marine Safety/ Lifeguard Hourly Rates The Marine Safety division provides lifeguarding services for a variety of events. The current lifeguard hourly rate of $70.00 has not increased since September 2007. The recommended new rate is $80.00 per hour to fully recover lifeguard staffing costs. Without this adjustment the City is subsidizing a portion of these costs. 8. Recreational Fee Increase Staff is recommending an increase of $5.00 per hour for room rental reservations occurring after business hours. The rate will increase from $20.00 to $25.00 per hour. The new rate would better reflect the costs to staff the event. The fee has not been increased in over eight years, since prior to 2003. In addition, staff is recommending that all Youth Sports programs be offered at a uniform price of $55.00 per student for the season. In the fall of 2010, Community Services initiated an Adult Soccer League using the Arena field at the Huntington Central Park Sports Complex. Now that the program is in place and successfully operating, staff recommends setting the fee at $400.00 per team. Additionally, in order to provide greater flexibility in designing programs that cover costs, staff is recommending a new range of fees for Project Self- Sufficiency Special Event Mixers and Senior Center Dances/Events. Staff is also recommending a nominal increase of $10.00 for specific membership fees for the Art Center. Fees for the Student/Senior and Friends/Family memberships will increase from $30.00 to $40.00 per person and $50.00 to $60.00 per person respectively. Additionally, in order to provide greater flexibility in designing classes and art camps, it is recommended that the range of approved fees increase from $20.00 - $150.00 to $20.00 - $200.00 per person. An increase in Art Camp fees is also recommended from $115.00 - $190.00 to $150.00 - $200.00 per person. The Family Camp-Out site fee is recommended to increase from $10.00/space + $10.00/participant to $15.00/space + $10.00/participant to cover costs. Finally, the maximum fee for aquatics classes is proposed to increase from $45.00 per session to $85.00 per session. These fees cover all categories of swim lessons, including semi-private lessons, and allow for a range of fees for summer 2012 should pool rental expenses from the Huntington Beach Union High School District increase. The removal of the following fees is recommended since these programs are no longer being offered: the $538.00 Membership Fee at the Art Center, the Citywide Softball and Senior Softball Tournaments, Fun time Day Camp, Santa Visit, and City Track meet. With the exception of the Citywide Senior Softball Tournament, the above programs are no longer offered due to budget cuts. The Citywide Senior Softball Tournament is now offered by the Council on Aging and is used as a fundraiser. The $538.00 Membership Fee was initially a part of a specific fundraiser which is no longer of offered.
