HomeMy WebLinkAboutTab 6: Fee Information Village of Mount Prospect Mount Prospect, Illinois INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: MAYOR AND VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FROM: ASSISTANT VILLAGE MANAGER DATE: APRIL 17, 2014 SUBJECT: FEE INFORMATION During the recent budget discussion for fiscal year 2014, staff communicated that the Village continues to experience a structural financial deficiency whereby the revenue growth does not match the expenditure growth on a an annual basis. This differential typically is about 1% to 2%. Therefore, staff undertook a preliminary review of existing fees that are charged for services comparing the current levels to other communities and comparing the cost charged to the actual cost to provide the service in terms of personnel and material costs. This material is provided for general information with additional discussion regarding the potential revenue and service impacts to be part of the discussion prior to the preparation of the budget for 2015. It is recommended that the fee discussion be considered as a complete package not as individual fees per any one particular service. A total package discussion would reduce the need to revisit each individual fee on a piecemeal basis and cause less confusion when implementing any modifications. These fees are only charged when a service is needed or requested and are intended to be somewhat self-supporting. Community Development: Community Development reviewed the fees and how they compare with what is charged by surrounding communities. For example, the majority of the small fees in Community Development (driveway, fence, deck, etc.) do not cover the actual cost of providing the service. Therefore, the larger project fees cross subsidize the smaller fee permits. Unfortunately, with the ebb and flow of economic conditions the larger projects and fees that are attached to them may not be enough to cover the smaller project fees in any particular year. The differential between the smaller projects and the larger projects could be closed, but not eliminated through modest increases to permit fees so that economic fluctuations do not negatively impact the Community Development budget. The smaller project permit fees will always benefit from the cross subsidization because without it the smaller permit fees would have be set too high to cover actual Re: FEE INFORMATION April 17, 2014 Page 2 expenses and would risk compliance. The housing and compliance related fees were also reviewed and staff recommends that these fees remain unchanged at this time. Fire Department: There is also information regarding the fire inspection fees and how the Village compares to surrounding communities in the fees that are charged and the actual personnel and material cost to provide this service. The fire inspection fees are in a similar position as Community Development fees. In addition, there is a comparison of ambulance fees charged by other communities and the actual cost the Village incurs to provide the ambulance service on a per call basis. The Village is below the average of what other surrounding communities charge. The structure of how the ambulance fee is designed regarding residents and non-residents would not be recommended to be altered, but there is an option for additional revenue to help offset the cost per call. Police Department: Information is included that shows the cost of false alarms and some local ticket charges are low in comparison with the average charged by surrounding communities. The recommendations for discussion are very modest in terms of overall additional revenue. The administrative cost of the majority of the fees will not be covered by the fees even with a modest increase, but the differential will not be as great between actual expense and revenue generated. Public Works: The spreadsheet provided by public works illustrates the vast majority of their fees are set through the development process in cooperation with Community Development. They are recommending discussion on a small number of fees, including construction trees and sampling fees. Human Services: Human Services review of their fees found that the level and amount of fees were adequate to cover the personnel and material costs at this time. Village Manager’s Office: A review of the current liquor license fees along with a comparison of how the Village fees compare with surrounding communities is provided. Included in the spreadsheet is a summary of potential additional revenues based on different percentage increases and respecting the different classes of licenses and what is already charged compared surrounding communities. In recent years staff (Administrative Assistant to the Village Re: FEE INFORMATION April 17, 2014 Page 3 Manager Doreen Jarosz) has worked very closely with the licensees help streamline the process for them in terms of getting their materials in on time and through the process without delay. The additional time accounts for approximately 30% to 35% of her work to assist in the processing of these licenses and any violations that may occur. This additional time has been well appreciated by the licensees. Conclusion: This information is provided as a starting point of discussion regarding the overall fee structure and potential for such fees to assist in closing a portion of the structural differential between revenue growth and expenditure growth. Any changes that are implemented will not eliminate the differential completely and would not be intended to do so. DAVID STRAHL c: Village Manager Michael E. Janonis Finance Director David Erb H:\VILM\BUDGET\2015\VB Cover Memo Fee Discussion 4-2014.docx COMMUNITY 1 0 9 I LVA I q I Village of Mount Prospect U molint P -131 Community Development Department MEMORANDUM TO: VILLAGE MANAGER FROM: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPUTY DIRECTOR DATE: APRIL 16, 2014 SUBJECT: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT FEE REVIEW The Community Development Department conducted an analysis of fees collected by the Department for various services. Specific attention was given to reviewing building permit, rental licensing, and zoning application fees. Staff reviewed fees collected by the Department for the previous calendar year and surveyed fees charged by surrounding municipalities. The following memo provides an overview of fees collected and potential adjustments. Attached to this memorandum are copies of the fee surveys performed and tables analyzing permit data. Building Permits In 2013 the Building Division collected slightly over $878,000 in permit revenue. This amount does not include fees charged for inspection bond deposits, nuisance abatements, or other similar fees which the Village reimburses back to a permit applicant at the conclusion of a project. The budget for the Building Division includes $876,610 in 2014 expenses including staff salaries ($323,000), benefits ($158,000), inspection services ($318,000), and other support costs ($76,000). The majority of permit fees collected by the Department were last updated in 2003. When considering inspection and average building division administration costs per permit, several permit types operate in a revenue negative manner. Table 1 on the following page demonstrates that most of the permit fees for commonly issued small residential permits do not cover the actual cost to the Village. As the conditions of each permit issued can vary, inspections are calculated on an average per permit type. Failed and follow up inspections are not included in this calculation. Administration costs include only Building Division staff time to open /close a permit, route plans if necessary, and schedule inspections. Plan review by other Departments was not included as most of these permits are issued over the counter or involve limited review. Inspection costs include the actual cost to perform an inspection based on the Village's inspection services contract with TPI Consultants.

For each additional $1,000 in valuation $10 is added to the permit charge. Minimum electrical and plumbing permits are also $25 but have additional fees added based on number of circuits or fixtures respectively. These calculations cause each permit type to have a different fee structure which can be difficult to decipher and administer correctly. Also, as noted in the table above, the fee structure results in several permits which cost only $25 to obtain. Fence permits are specifically called out in the code at a cost of $40. To both simplify the fee structure and to make permits more cost neutral, staff would recommend raising the minimum permit fee from $25 to $75 for all projects with a construction valuation of less than $7,500. Doing so would make permits such as fences, shed, roofs, and water heaters cost $75. For projects in excess of $7,500 valuation, staff proposes to keep the existing $10 per additional $1,000 valuation. Additionally, staff would propose to eliminate fee add -ons for individual electrical circuits, plumbing fixtures, among others. By increasing the minimum fee to $75, the Village would cover its actual cost of processing each permit. It also would not have a significant effect on existing larger permits. For projects which were valued at $7,500 or greater, raising the minimum fee would not add additional costs to these permits under this proposal. Based on 2013's permit history, the potential change would increase permit revenues from $878,000 to $971,000. A difference of $93,000. Community Development Department Fee Review Page 3 Staff reviewed the permit fees charged by other comparable communities and found the Mount Prospect fees trend to be some of the lowest. Other communities also charged $25 minimum for a permit, but most were between $50 and $75. The proposed base fee increase would therefore be comparable to surrounding municipalities. Reinspection Fees Currently the Village charges for reinspections based on an escalating scale. The first reinspection costs $50, second $75, third $100, and so on. Staff does not recommend making changes to this fee structure as our inspection costs are covered based on these fees. TPI would still charge the Village for an inspection ($33.50) regardless of how many reinspections are required. The escalating scale covers the Village's administration costs to reschedule and process the follow up inspection. Rental Licensing The Community Development's rental licensing program issued 1,468 licenses for 6,266 individual units in 2013. Currently, the Village charges a minimum fee of $75, or $40 per unit licensed, whichever is greater. Based on this fee structure a landlord which rents one unit (i.e. a single family home or condo) their fee would be $75. If a landlord rented a four unit apartment building their fee would be $160 (4 x $40). The minimum and per unit fees are reduced to $67 and $36 respectively if the landlord completes all three levels of the Village's Crime Free Housing Program. The following table compares Mount Prospect's rental licensing fees with those of surrounding communities which have similar programs. Based on this review, Mount Prospect's fees trend slightly below the mean. Mount Prospect's program generates more revenue than Arlington Heights and Des Plaines, but less than Buffalo Grove, Hoffman Estates, Prospect Heights, and Schaumburg's. A direct comparison could not be made to Elk Grove, Palatine, and Rolling Meadows as their programs are run differently than the other communities. Elk Grove only licenses single family homes, while Palatine and Rolling Meadows base their license fees on the number of violations and inspections performed at a rental property. Table 2: Rental License Fee Comparison *Revenues Assuming Mount Prospect Licensing Conditions (i.e. 1,468 licenses and 6,266 units). Fee Calculation Examples Minimum Per Unit Single Unit 6 -Flat MP Revenue* Mount Prospect $75 $40 $75 $240 $274,960 Arlington Heights $60 (1 -5 units) $13 $60 $78 $125,854 Buffalo Grove $75 SF Home /Condo $150 Apt Complex $30 $75 $510 $312,735 Des Plaines $100 SF $50 Townhouse $20 $100 house $50 townhouse $120 $198,040 Hoffman Estates N/A $150 $150 $900 $939,900 Prospect Heights $100 $100 $100 $600 $626,600 Schaumburg $60 $60 $60 $360 $375,960 Elk Grove Only licenses Single Family Homes - $20 Palatine/Rollin Meadows - Sliding Scale Based on Number of Violations/Inspections *Revenues Assuming Mount Prospect Licensing Conditions (i.e. 1,468 licenses and 6,266 units). Community Development Department Fee Review Page 4 The Housing Inspection Division's total budget for 2014 is $538,036. This includes staff salaries ($323,000), benefits ($148,000), and support costs ($66,000). Current revenues account for 50% of the Division's expenses. The Division also generates revenue through fines and judgments as a result of property maintenance violations. Over the past five years the Division has averaged $50,000 in judgments each year and has collected $16,000 annually. Judgments are typically paid at the time a property changes ownership and as a result can be collected several years after a judgment is issued. Zoning Fees Over the last two years the Department has processed a total of forty -five zoning applications with a total of $27,050 in revenue from application fees (2012 = 28/$16,550, 2013 = 17/$10,500). The fee schedule has various scales for residential and commercial properties. In general, fees for single family properties are $100. Fees for other properties are based on the size of the lot under a sliding scale (between $250 to $2,500). Similar to permits identified above, single family variation and conditional use requests operate in a revenue negative manner. Fees for these projects are set at $100 per application. Direct costs which are incurred by the Village include mailing of public notices ($40 /average) and publishing a public notice in local newspaper ($145 /average). Additional staff time is also spent on these projects by processing the application, reviewing plans (multiple departments), placing public notice signs, writing staff reports, attending hearings, and producing minutes or ordinances. Staff would estimate total staff time to process a zoning request would be approximately ten hours when all Departments and staff positions are considered. At a minimum, staff would recommend increasing the fees to cover the expenses related to public notification. Raising the fee from $100 to $250 for instance would cover these expenses. For commercial projects, fees collected per project tend to be slightly higher as the properties are generally between 1 to 10 acres in size, and petitioners often seek zoning relief for more than one item. The Village still incurs the cost of publishing a notice in the newspaper but does require the petitioner to mail the notices to surrounding properties. Similar to residential projects, there is a large amount of staff time which goes into processing an application through the entire zoning process. A survey of surrounding municipalities demonstrates a wide range if fees collected for these services. For residential or small commercial projects, Mount Prospect's fees trend to the lower end of the fees collected by our neighbors. For larger commercial projects (5+ acres) our fees seem to be comparative to those charged by Arlington Heights and Schaumburg on the higher end. Conclusion Based on the above analysis, staff's initial recommendations related to fees would be as follows: • Raise the minimum building permit fee to $75. For permits which exceed $7,500 in construction valuation an additional $10 per $1,000 valuation would be added to the permit fee, • No changes to the reinspection or rental license fees, • Increase zoning fees to cover our costs for processing applications for smaller projects (residential /small lots). Community Development Department Fee Review Page 5 This memorandum and supporting documentation is submitted for consideration at the April 22, 2014 Financial Planning Workshop. Staff will be present to answer any questions related to this matter. rian Simmons., AICP Rental License Fees - Comparable Community Minimum Survey Per Mount Prospect $75 Unit $40 Arlington Heights $60 per building (1 -5 units) $13 Des Plaines Single Family - $100, Condo /Apartment - Townhouse - $50 $20 per unit Elk Grove Village Single Family - $20 N/A Hoffman Estates $150 $150 Prospect Heights $100 $100 Schaumburg $60 $60 Palatine Sliding Scale based on number of violations.

Overall, the survey showed that 14 municipalities have all encompassing permits, meaning they do not charge additional fees for inspections related to permitted work. Four municipalities, however, do charge additional fees for permit based inspections. For example, these communities may charge an additional fee for hydrostatic testing of a fire sprinkler system. Based on the responses from the participating communities, permit and plan review fees vary both in their method of calculation and cost. The following provides a detailed breakdown of the survey results: I. Fire Sprinklers a. Permit Fees i. Public Municipalities: Calculate their sprinkler permit fees in a number of ways. The most common methods are: • Set Fee Ranges from $50 to $150. • Cost per Square Foot Ranges from $0.07 to $1.00 per square foot. • Cost per Fire Sprinkler Generally $1.00 per sprinkler head, with a set minimum fee. Note: Some municipalities have an additional charge for hydrostatic testing. Cost Analysis of Fire Department Permit & Plan Review Fees April 16, 2014 Page 2 ii. Private Contractor: Private contractors generally base their fees on the number of sprinkler heads. They charge between $392 and $1,672 (more if there are greater than 500 sprinkler heads). b. Plan Review Fees L Public Municipalities: A majority of sprinkler plan review fees are based on the number of fire sprinklers being installed. The cost per fire sprinkler ranges from $1.00 to $3.00 per fire sprinkler. A set minimum fee of $50 is fairly common. ii. Private Contractor: Private contractors generally base their plan review fees on the number of sprinkler heads. Their fees range from $207 to $982 (more if there are greater than 500 sprinkler heads). II. Fire Alarms a. Permit Fees L Public Municipalities: Calculate their fire alarm fees in a number of ways. The most common methods are: • Set Fee Ranges from $50 to $250. Some municipalities also charge an additional fee for large buildings, which is then based upon square footage. • Cost per Square Foot Average cost is $0.07 per square foot. • Cost per Device Ranges from $1.00 to $5.00 per device. ii. Private Contractor: Private contractors generally base their fees on the number of devices. They charge between $392 and $1,387 (more if there are greater than 125 devices). b. Plan Review Fees Public Municipalities: Most charge a set amount, which ranges from $50 to $250. ii. Private Contractor: Private contractors generally base their fees on the number of devices. They charge between $202 and $1,022 (more if there are greater than 125 devices). Cost Analysis of Fire Department Permit & Plan Review Fees April 16, 2014 Page 3 III. Fire Standpipes (Permit Fees) a. Public Municipalities: Generally calculate their fire standpipe permit fees in one of the following two ways: • Set Fee Ranges from $75 to $547. • Cost per Standpipe Ranges from $50 to $60 per standpipe. b. Private Contractor: Private contractors charge from $222 (no inspections) to $547 (with inspections) per standpipe. IV. Fire Pumps (Permit Fees) a. Public Municipalities: charge between $75 and $402 per fire pump. b. Private Contractor: Private contractors charge from $202 (no inspections) to $402 (with inspections) per fire pump. V. Kitchen Hood Suppression Systems (Permit Fees) a. Public Municipalities: charge $40 to $772 per kitchen hood suppression system. b. Private Contractor: Private contractors charge from $392 (no inspections) to $772 (with inspections) per kitchen hood suppression system. VI. Resubmittal Charges: Some municipalities also charge a fee for re- submitted drawings. These fees range from $50 to $100. Overall, the results of the survey show that Mount Prospect's permit and plan review fees are on the low end when compared with other communities in the area. In determining how to restructure our fees we discussed the need to bring our fees more in line with the ranges for our comparable communities and private industry. We determined that permit fees should cover the personnel costs necessary to conduct the needed inspections. This rate was determined to be approximately $50 per hour for both wages and benefits. In addition, we decided that plan review fees would need to be revised to cover the personnel costs associated with completing the review. This rate was determined to be approximately $60 per hour for both wages and benefits. Note: The Village of Schaumburg, a comparable community, charges $67 per hour for similar plan reviews. Cost Analysis of Fire Department Permit & Plan Review Fees April 16, 2014 Page 4 Recommendation Based upon our research and cost analysis I am recommending a number of changes be made to our permit and plan review fees. Our current and proposed fees are outlined in the attached "Fire Department Permit & Plan Review Fee" sheet. These proposed changes would bring our fees more in line with our comparable communities and help cover the costs we incur to provide these services. Even given these fee increases, it is important to note that private contractors currently charge more solely for their plan review fees than the Fire Department would charge for its permit and plan review fees combined. Utilizing the attached fee schedule, a fire sprinkler permit containing 100 fire sprinkler heads would break down as follows: 1. Permit fee of $175 (equal to 3.5 hours of inspection time). This includes a hydrostatic test at 2 hours, a final inspection at 1 hour and travel time of 0.5 hours. Note: As the number of sprinklers increase, so does the amount of on -site inspection time. 2. Plan review fee of $200 (equal to 3.3 hours of plan review and process time). The total permit and plan review fee would therefore equal $375, which is well within the range charged by our comparable communities and private contractors. It is important to note that we are recommending a couple of new, or restructured, fees: 1. Revised plan review fees for egress review The Fire Department has been conducting egress reviews of all commercial occupancies for over 10 years. We have, however, only been charging $35 for these reviews, regardless of the size of the building. The proposed fee structure would be based upon square footage, taking into account an hourly rate of $60 per hour for these types of reviews. Also included is a final inspection fee to cover the cost of reviewing egress components during this inspection. This structure is more in line with other municipalities and the private sector. 2. Expedited plan review fee The fee schedule also includes a new fee for an expedited plan review. This additional fee would guarantee that a plan review would be completed within five business days. The proposed expedited fee is the same as what that Building Department's private contractor charges for this service. Cost Analysis of Fire Department Permit & Plan Review Fees April 16, 2014 Page 5 3. Re- inspection fee: A re- inspection fee is being proposed to help cover the costs of re- inspections /review, which would be charged on the third inspection /review. Additional Revenue Based upon the proposed revised fee schedule we project that the Village would collect additional revenue of between $35,000 and $45,000 per year, dependent on construction projects. This would amount to a 200 percent increase in projected revenue, obviously dependent on the amount of construction that occurs in the Village. If you have any questions about the results of the permit and plan review survey or the proposed fee structure please feel free to contact me.

Identify the date of the last fee increase and what the fee is currently, in addition to the amount of revenue the fee generates now. Estimate or actual cost assignment of the providing the fee in terms of personnel and material investment to deliver the service. Estimate of additional revenue that might be generated if the fee were to be increased by a specific percentage or dollar amount. A survey of the fee in comparison to similar fees in comparable communities.

Current screenings being offered and associated fees are; Fasting Lipid profile $20, Total Cholesterol $4, Blood Sugar test $1, Flu Shot for spouses of employees $20 and PT /INR $7. Fees have not increased during the last two and a half years since Jill has been in the position. Approximately five years ago the flu shot given to employee's spouses increased by $5. The fees are intended to cover the cost of the testing supplies. There are specific materials purchased for some of the screenings and other supplies are purchased in bulk and used for all screenings, i.e. alcohol swabs, cotton balls, band aids etc. The estimated cost of supplies for screenings /tests are; Fasting Lipid profile $15, Total Cholesterol $4, Blood Sugar $2, Flu Shot $15.50 and PT /INR $6.50. The average amount of time spent administering these tests is 15 minutes. Some of the screenings require more time than others. This includes the testing and consultation with the nurse regarding the test results. Jill spends more time with patients needing information and education regarding health issues related to test results. The cost for personnel time based on Jill's current salary is $10.00 for a fifteen minute time period spent with a resident. The fees cover the cost of materials needed to deliver the service. Increasing fees would bring in a minimal amount of revenue due to the amount of screenings /tests administered on a monthly basis. Jill administers approximately 15- 20 screenings /tests per month. Additionally, the fees are in line with surrounding communities and medical facilities. Jill spoke with the nurses in the Village of Arlington Heights and Wheeling Township regarding fees. Arlington Heights has a similar fee schedule for screenings and tests. Wheeling Township is charging less for some of their screenings. Thev are charging $16 for the Fasting Lipid profile and $6 for the PT /INR. In conclusion, the fees are covering the cost of services provided and reasonable based on the marketplace.
