ITEM TITLE:
MASTER FEES AND CHARGES SCHEDULE
ACTION
REQUESTED:
None. Discuss and provide input to staff on 1) new physical format for fees and
charges review; and 2) methodology for long-term fees and charges management,
e.g. incremental annual increases. Staff currently has a public hearing on fees
scheduled for March 4.
ISSUE
STATEMENT:
Each year, Council and staff review existing fees and charges for appropriateness of
rates for meeting cost recovery targets as well as reviewing for areas where new or
additional fees should be considered. At issue in many years is whether certain fee
increase should be automatic to meet inflationary pressures or every few years as
cost recovery models show an increase in subsidy. This year, with a slower than
expected economic recovery in the public sector, it is especially important to look
at service areas where increased or additional fees would be considered appropriate.
These fees assist the City Manager in preparing a proposed budget for review by
the Budget Committee in late April.

Subject: MASTER FEES AND CHARGES SCHEDULE MEMORANDUM
ISSUE: Each year, Council and staff review existing fees and charges for appropriateness of
rates for meeting cost recovery targets as well as reviewing for areas where new or additional
fees should be considered. At issue in many years is whether certain fee increase should be
automatic to meet inflationary pressures or every few years as cost recovery models show an
increase in subsidy. This year, with a slower than expected economic recovery in the public
sector, it is especially important to look at service areas where increased or additional fees would
be considered appropriate. These fees assist the City Manager in preparing a proposed budget
for review by the Budget Committee in late April.
COUNCIL GOALS/
MANDATE:
Financially Responsible and Stable Government Services
Adopted City policies recognize that the funding sources for different services vary greatly from
full cost recovery to full tax subsidy to outside grants to a combination of many different
sources. Review of rates, sources and cost recovery models on a regular basis is important to
ensure that citizens are able to receive maximum service for the resources available.
BACKGROUND: The City’s schedule of fees and charges are established by Council action
and are contained in several different documents. Each of these is reviewed regularly on a
rotating basis. These documents are:
Master Schedule of Fees and Charges Established by the Municipal Code
The Municipal Code provides the right for the City to establish a fee or charge against
the cost of providing a particular service. In some cases the specific amount of the fee
itself is contained in the municipal code. In these cases in takes the passage of an
ordinance by the Council to change the actual fee. Example of fees that are included in
this category are business license, sanitary and storm water rates, technology fees and
SaniPac franchise fees.
Master Schedule of Miscellaneous Fees and Charges Authorized within the Municipal
Code, Development Code or Fire Code
The Municipal, Development and Fire Codes provide the right for the City to establish a
fee or charge against the cost of providing a particular service. In these cases the
specific amount of the fee itself is not contained in the respected codes, only the
authorization to levy the fee. In these cases it takes the passage of a resolution by the
Council to change the actual fee. Examples of major fees that are included in this
category are the City’s planning fees, ambulance transport fees, system development
charges and hazardous material inspection and storage fees.
MEMORANDUM 2/14/2013
Attachment 1 Page 2
Master Schedule of Fees and Charges Contained by the Building Code
The Building Code provides the right for the City to establish a fee or charge against the
cost of providing a particular service. In the Building Code the specific amount of the
fee itself is contained within the code. In these cases in takes the passage of an
ordinance by the Council to change the actual fee. But prior to the passage by Council,
all building fees that are regulated by the State Building Code must first be presented to
the State and follow a specific public hearing notice schedule. Examples of major fees
that are included in this category are the City’s building permits, plumbing inspection
and electrical inspection fees.
ADJUSTMENTS TO EXISTING FEES AND CHARGES
Many of the existing fees and charges by the City have been established with a certain
percentage of cost recovery factored into the rate. The target for cost recovery varies greatly
from fee to fee as some services are expected to generate enough revenue to fully pay for the
service while others may have no or a modest fee only. When adjusting fees during this type of
review, this is kept in mind as well as the cost factors that go into each fee. Cost of labor is
usually one of the most significant costs, with the City relying on consumer price indexes and
actual labor contract terms to help make these adjustments. Also the number of years since the
last increase is taken into consideration as two similar type fees may have different percentage
increases if one had been increased just last year while the other may not have been adjusted for
2 to 3 years.
Attachment 2 identifies the fees which are being considered for change. Many of the fees in this
attachment have not been adjusted since 2008 and are close to a 10% inflationary adjustment. It
includes changes for Municipal, Non Municipal, and Building Code. For the Building Code fees
the State of Oregon has been notified and is currently reviewing the requested changes.
Attachment 3 is the new Master Fees and Charges booklet that consolidates all City fees and
charges, adopted by City Council resolutions, for various services that the City provides. For
ease of reference and to consolidate efforts a new booklet is being prepared for consideration.
This updated booklet reflects all current fees and charges and the proposed changes.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: No action is being requested this evening, though staff ‘s intent
is to have Council direction to prepare for a public hearing on March 4, 2013 for the possible
adoption of any fees and charges that are to be in place April 1, 2013.

Attachment 3
City of Springfield, Oregon
Springfield is a family‐friendly community where a healthy economy and numerous historical
aspects of Oregon’s past have blended into a vibrant place to call home. Springfield is adjacent
to I‐5 and nestled between two rivers. The McKenzie River is world‐famous for fly fishing and
summer steelhead. The Willamette River also boasts excellent fishing and is popular for
whitewater rafting.
This Master Fees and Charges schedule consolidates all City fees and charges, adopted by City
Council resolutions, for the various services that the City provides. It is scheduled to be updated
semi‐annually and reflects all fee resolutions passed by Council during the year.
Fee Variance and Waiver Statement
Based upon an unusual circumstance or event, past practices, demonstrated hardship, or public
benefit, the City Manager is authorized to waive or decrease a fee(s) or charge(s) in a particular
matter or establish a fee not yet authorized in this resolution. When a new fee is established by
the City Manager it may be incorporated into this resolution. It shall be communicated to
Council in writing to allow opportunity for comment.
The request for a waiver or reduction may be in writing. If the City Manager or his designee
agrees to said waiver or reduction, he/she may inform the City Council, in writing, of the request
and his/her decision, except in minor matters.

changing them:.

2013 Master Fees and Charges Page 65
Section 10: System Development Charges
The following fees shall be charged for the Development activities of the City:
(Resolution 11‐23)
Calculating the SDC
The SDC charges for each development is calculated using the worksheet shown as Exhibit 2.
The Storm Sewer SDC is based on Square Feet of Impervious Surface Area. The Sanitary Sewer
SDC is based on Drainage Fixture Units as defined by the April 2000 Oregon Amendments to the
1997 Uniform Plumbing Code. The Transportation SDC is based on Average Weekday Trip
Generation rates as published in the latest edition of the Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip
Generation Manual. More detailed information on calculating the fees for each system is shown
below:
Storm Drainage
The storm drainage SDC is paid by all new residential, commercial, and industrial development.
The charge is based on the square footage of the impervious surface area of the development.
Impervious surfaces typically consist of concrete, asphalt, and roofing. The cost per square foot
of impervious surface area is 0.583. In applying the SDC, the cost per square foot is applied to
the amount of impervious surface area measured at the time the building permit is issued.
FORMULA: STORM DRAINAGE SDC = IMPERVIOUS SQUARE FEET x $0.599/SQUARE FOOT
A 50% credit will be given for the portion of impervious area served by a drywell sized and
constructed to City of Springfield Standard Construction Specifications. A SDC credit will also be
give for peak ten‐year runoff reduction based on documentation provided by the developer and
approved by the City.
Sanitary Sewer‐City
The charge is paid by all new commercial, industrial, and residential development. To calculate
the impact of new development on the sanitary sewer system, the City uses the number of
drainage fixture units (DFU) as the basis of the charge.
FORMULA: Residential rate increases to $206.74. Residential city sanitary sewer SDC = number
of DFU x $206.74
FORMULA: Commercial/Industrial is $206.74 per DFU. Commercial/industrial city sanitary
sewer SDC = number of DFU x $206.74

Transportation
This SDC is charged on new commercial, industrial, professional, and residential
development or change of use. It helps support expansion of arterial and collector
roads, traffic signals, and street lighting. The SDC is based on the trip rate of the specific
type of development and the cost per trip. The cost per trip is $254.43 for all use types.
A new trip factor is applied to omit short pass‐by trips, diverted trips, and other linked
trips. Trip rates for developments are based on the current Institute for Transportation
Engineers' (ITE's) Trip Generation Manual, or the developer can submit a trip generation
study outlined and approved by the City of Springfield. A partial list of trip rates is in the
Transportation Fee Schedule, Exhibit 3.
FORMULA: Number of Trips X Unit X $254.43 X New Trip Factor
Sanitary Sewer (MWMC)
The Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC) Facility Equalization
Charge is a reimbursement fee for the reserve capacity that was constructed to serve
new growth. This fee is designed to reimburse the community for its equity in the
treatment plant's reserve capacity. Newly developed properties, change of use, or
other properties that are connecting to the wastewater treatment system for the first
time will pay the equalization charge. New development receives credit for past bond
payments on existing debt and for contributions to qualified offsite public
improvements. See Exhibit 4, Attachments C. The Flow Estimation Units (FEU) is used
for the MWMC Facility Equalization Charge.
Formula: NUMBER OF FEU x COST PER FEU + $10 ADMIN. FEE
Administrative Cost
The SDC legislation allows the City to recover its costs for complying with the required
changes. A five percent (5%) administrative fee will be added to cover the cost of
developing the SDC, establishing accounting mechanisms and administering the ongoing
program.

Interest Rate –Unbonded Average City Earnings Rate plus 2%
Interest Rate – Bonded Bond Rate plus 1.5%
Deferral Administrative Fee $50.00
Installment Late Payment Fee 10% of Overdue Installment
Short‐Term SDC Payment Deferral Program
(City Policy) Whenever the total SDC due for a Building Permit exceeds $10,000, the applicant may elect to
enter into a short‐term SDC Deferral Agreement. The Agreement is in the form of a potential lien and must
be signed prior to Building Permit issuance. The SDC Deferral Agreement allows the applicant to pay a
minimum of $10,000 toward the total SDC due prior to the City issuing the Building Permit. The balance of
the SDC due must be paid in full prior to the City issuing a Certificate of Occupancy for the building.
Initial SDC Payment $10,000.00 at Building Permit Issuance
Final SDC PaymentBalance of SDC Due prior to Certificate of Occupancy
SDC Credit Certificate Administration Fees
(SMC 3.417) (1)In the event a credit authorized under section 3.416(2) is greater than the amount of
the charge due, the city shall upon request of the developer, issue to the developer a certificate,
documenting the amount of the credit in excess of the charge.
(2) Such certificate may be redeemed by the developer and applied to future charges for
that type of capital improvement, provided such redemption shall occur not later than 10 years after the
date of issuance of the certificate.
(3) Any developer issued a certificate shall pay to the city, at the time of issuance, and
annually thereafter until such certificate is redeemed, an administrative fee fixed by resolution of the
council. Failure to timely pay such annual fee shall not invalidate a certificate, but no certificate shall be
transferred or redeemed until all annual fees shall have been paid.
(4) The certificate may be redeemed in whole or in parts. If the certificate is redeemed in
part, the city shall, upon delivery of the certificate, issue a new certificate documenting the remaining
credit available. Such reissued certificate shall expire 10 years after the date of the original certificate, and
shall be considered a new certificate for purposes of the administrative fee.
(5) Such certificate may be transferred, in whole or in part, to another person, provided,
however, that no such transfer shall be effective until the holder of the certificate shall surrender the
same and a new certificate or certificates issued.
Initial SDC Credit Certificate Fee $250.00
Annual Certificate Maintenance Fee $250.00

Where
used
in
this
guide,
a
twelve
‐month
period
means a
moving
twelve‐month
window,
including
the
month
for
the current
violation
and
the
preceding
eleven
months. The
enforcement
response
for
violations
of
effluent
limitations
varies
according
to
the
past compliance
history
of
the
industrial
user. The number of
months
containing
violations
in
the
twelve‐month
window
is
determined,
and
the
enforcement
response
and
penalty
assessed
accordingly.
1.
Analytical
results
between
3
and
9
times
the
limitation
will
be
subject
to a
multiplier
of
2. Analytical
results
10
times
the
limitation or
greater
will
be
subject to
a
multiplier
of
3.
For example,
for a
disc
harge
with
an
effluent
limitation
of
0.5
mg/L,
and
an
analytical
result
of
5.1 mg/L,
the
multiplier
is
3, (5.1/0.5)
= 10.2.
2.
For
violations of
effluent
limitations
where the
analytical
result
is
less
than
or
equal
to
1.2
times
the
permitted
effluent
limitation,
or
is
less
than
0.2
pH
units
above
or below
a
permitted
effluent pH
range,
the
City
will
not
assess
an
administrative
penalty
for that
violation. The
viola
‐
tion
will,
however,
be
recorded
and
treated
as
a permit
violation
for
all other
purposes,
including
the
calculation
of
Significant
Non‐
compliance.
3.
For
any
series of
violations
of
effluent
limitations
which
meet
the
definition
of
Significant
Noncompliance,
the
enforcement
response
will
be
the
issuance
of
an
Administrative
Compliance
Order. The
penalty
assessed
will
be
as
listed
above,
according to
the
number
of
months
with
violations,
or
as
specified
in
the
Order.
4.
Penalties
listed
for
effluent
violations
are per
pollutant
per day,
and
apply
to
results
obtained
from
City or
industrial
user
monitoring.
The
City
may
conduct
monitoring
as
often
as necessary
to
determine
compliance.
For
the purposes
of
assessing
an
administrative
civil
penalty
for
a
violation
of
effluent
limitations,
general discharge
prohibitions,
or
specific
restricted
substance
limitations,
the
term
"day"
shall have
one
of
the
following meanings:
5.
If
the
violation is
determined
from
data
obtained
from a
grab
sample,
or a
series
of
grab
samples,
day
means calendar
day.
6.
If
the
violation is
determined
from
data
obtained
from an
automatic
pH
recording
instrument,
day
means
calendar
day.
7.
If
the
violation is
determined
from
data
obtained
from a
composite
sample
collected
by
an
automatic
sampling
device,
day
means
the
24‐
hour period
beginning
at
the
time
sampling
is
initiated.
8.
A
violation
of
a
monthly
average,
weekly
average, or
4
‐day average
effluent
limitation
will
be
considered
as
one
violation
for the purpose
of
calculating
the
administrative
penalty,
or
other
enforcement
response.
9.
Other
enforcement
orders available
besides
those
listed
in
the
guide
above
include:
Stipulated
Enforcement
Order;
Cease
and
Desist
Order;
and
Termination
and
Revocation
Order. These
orders
can
be
issued
separately
or
in
conjunction
with
an
y
other
order in
the
guide.
10.
In
addition
to
the
enforcement
response
listed
above,
the
matter
will
be referred
for criminal
prosecution
where deemed
appropriate
by
the
City
Manager.
11.
A
Mobile
Waste
Hauler
Permit
may
be
reinstated
when
account
is
made current;
only
cash,
money
order,
or cashiers
check
will
be accepted
for
six
month period
following
permit
revocation.
A
$50.00
reconnection
fee
will
be
charged.
12.
For
industries with
more
than
one
regulated
waste
stream,
the
escalated
response
to
effluent
violations
is
applied separately.
For
example,
if
an
industry
has
three consecutive
months
of
violations
at one
waste
stream
and
then
th
e
following
month
a
violation
occurs at
a
separate
waste
stream,
this
would
count
as
the
industry’s
first
violation
for
that
waste
stream
assuming
there
were
no
other
violations
at
this
location
during
the
past
12
months.
13.
For
slug
discharges,
notification
to the
POTW
shall
occur
within
60
minutes
of
the
industrial
user
becoming
aware
of
it.
