TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Annual Update to the Master Fee Schedule
Prepared by: Darlynn Haas, Management Analyst II
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider adopting an annual update to the Master Fee Schedule as
prescribed by the City’s User Fee Cost Recovery Policy.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Adopting an Annual Update to the Master Fee Schedule for Services
Provided by the City.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The financial impact will be based on the activity levels after the fee updates are adopted and
in place. The annual increase of 3.1 percent is calculated based on the changes in the
December Consumer Price Index (Bureau of Labor of Statistics, San Francisco -Oakland-
Hayward Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers).
DESCRIPTION:
Background
The California Constitution authorizes local governments to recover the reasonable costs
incurred in providing certain direct services (e.g., permitting, licensing, and recreational
services). Most agencies adopt a schedule of all user fees on an annual ba sis, commonly
referred to as a Master Fee Schedule (MFS).
In Dublin, three documents guide the preparation of the MFS:
1. User Fee Cost Recovery Policy (adopted in 2012). This policy provides that a
comprehensive study be conducted every five years to ensur e that fees reflect the City’s
actual cost of providing services. Once fees are set in the first year, they are updated
362

annually based on changes in the preceding December Consumer Price Index (CPI)
(Bureau of Labor Statistics, San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward Urban Wage Earners and
Clerical Workers). The CPI change is applied to the existing fee to create a new base
fee, which is then rounded down to the nearest dollar and listed in the MFS.
Subsequent annual changes are applied to the base fee and rounded do wn. The Cost
Recovery Policy allows for new fees to be added to the MFS as necessary. This
process is continued until a new fee study is completed.
2. User Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan. The current fee study was conducted in
Fiscal Year 2023-24 with a comprehensive review of City services and calculation of the
direct and indirect costs associated with providing those services. The final report was
adopted by the City Council on June 25, 2024 (Resolution 72-24).
3. Parks and Community Services (PCS) Pricing Policy (adopted in 2010, revised in
2016). The PCS Pricing Policy provides authority to the PCS Director to increase rates
up to 20 percent during the year provided that these fees are then documented in the
upcoming MFS, and to establish new rates during the fiscal year should new classes be
added during that period. It also established a 20 percent difference between resident
and non-resident fees, unless an exception is noted.
Fiscal Year 2026-27 MFS
Attachment 2 is the new MFS, with fees adjusted by the year-over-year increase in CPI (3.1
percent in December 2025) and rounded down. Other changes are noted in red font.
Attachment 3 provides the base fees prior to rounding.
The adjustments recommended for Fiscal Year 2026-27 are to add the Firework Permit
Deposit, a no-cost Engineering Encroachment Permit fee, a Preliminary Application review fee,
Code Enforcement fees, and updates to multiple PCS fees, as described below.
Firework Permit Deposit. At the March 24, 2026 City Council Meeting, the City Council
approved amendments to the Dublin Municipal Code (DMC) Section 5.24, which
included moving the Firework Permit Deposit to the MFS. There is no change to the
deposit amount, which remains $200.
Engineering Encroachment Permit Fee. Staff proposes transitioning to a no-cost
encroachment permit for single-family residential sidewalk repairs to remove financial
barriers and encourage timely compliance. State law assigns sidewalk maintenance
responsibility to adjacent property owners, and the DMC requires a permit for work in
the public right-of-way. The current permit fee (approximately $1,500) and $1,000 bond
can discourage property owners from completing repairs. Over the past two years,
about 14 permits have been issued, generating roughly $21,000 in revenue. Each
permit requires approximately six hours of Staff time. While eliminating the fee would
shift costs to the City, the low permit volume limits fiscal impact. Removing the fee is
expected to increase voluntary compliance, improve sidewalk conditions, reduce
liability, and decrease Staff time responding to complaints, as homeowners often
decline to proceed once costs are known.

Planning Fees. The Planning Division offers Preliminary Application review services for
applicants seeking early feedback on proposed development projects, including those
submitted under Senate Bill (SB) 330 and SB 35. These reviews are currently billed on
a time and materials basis. This is not a new fee; however, Staff recommends formally
incorporating a Preliminary Application Review fee into the MFS to improve clarity and
transparency. The fee would continue to be assessed on a time and materials basis.
Code Enforcement Fees. The Code Enforcement Division, established in Spring 2024,
consolidated activities across multiple departments. Staff proposes amending the MFS
to add a dedicated Code Enforcement section. Proposed updates include incorporating
a $50 storage fee for confiscated Temporary Non-Commercial Signs, previously
approved by the City Council, as well as existing penalty fees for work without a
required building permit and administrative citation fines. These fees are already
authorized by the DMC and are being added to the MFS to improve clarity,
transparency, and provide a comprehensive public reference.
PCS Program Fees. Proposed fee adjustments for The Wave, Grass Fields, Snack
Bar, Summer Camps, Dublin Art Center, and Processing fees were presented to the
PCS Commission on March 16, 2026. The Commission voted 4-0-1 in support, with a
modification to reduce the grass field hourly rate for Groups 1 and 2 (Public
Agencies/Youth Sports Organizations) to $9 effective January 1, 2027. Staff continues
to recommend the originally proposed $10 rate, but effective January 1, 2027 for Dublin
Youth Sports Organizations and July 1, 2026 for all other users . In all PCS sections, the
changes identified in red (if not directly modifying fees) are administrative in nature. This
cleanup provides clarity across the fee schedule, removes fees that are no longer in
use, eliminates duplication of fees, and ensures consistency across program areas.
o The Wave. Fee increases are proposed for most services, including admissions,
rentals, and birthday packages. Select fees would take effect May 1 to align with
the summer session and avoid mid-session changes. Increases reflect rising
costs for staffing (up approximately 22 percent), maintenance (pool, up
approximately 86 percent, and slides up approximately 25 percent), and
concessions, with birthday package rates adjusted accordingly. No increases are
proposed for swim lessons or core programs. Benchmarking shows fees remain
competitive regionally.
o Grass Fields. The City currently subsidizes the majority of costs associated with
maintaining its grass athletic fields, with user fees recovering approximately 16
percent of total costs. In Fiscal Year 2024–25, youth sports leagues (Groups 1
and 2) used 12,839 hours of field time, genera ting $89,873 in revenue, compared
to total maintenance costs of $1,604,365. This results in a City subsidy of
approximately $1.34 million, or 84 percent of total costs. On average, the City
expends about $6 for every $1 collected across all users, and approximately $18
for every $1 collected from youth sports leagues.
364
Page 4 of 5
To improve cost recovery while maintaining affordability, Staff proposes a phased
increase beginning at $10 per hour for Groups 1 and 2, with additional
adjustments over five years to reach approximately 25–30 percent cost recovery.
This approach balances fiscal sustainability with continued support for youth
sports.
Proposed rates remain competitive with neighboring agencies, including
Livermore ($17–$20/hour), San Ramon ($14.65/hour), and Pleasanton, which
recently implemented youth field fees with planned annual increases. The
Finance and Investment Committee reviewed the proposed adjustments on
March 3, 2026 (Attachment 4).
o Dublin Art Center. In anticipation of the facility’s opening, Staff reviewed
previously established fees and determined that hourly rental rates for the gallery
are not well-suited for exhibition use. To better align with planned programming,
Staff proposes a weekly rental structure for exhibitions. Under this approach,
exhibitions would be charged a weekly fee, and the City would retain a 30
percent commission on artwork sales, consistent with City-sponsored exhibitions.
This structure provides greater flexibility for artists and ensures that independent
exhibitions contribute to ongoing operational costs while maintaining affordability
and accessibility. Hourly rental rates will remain available for one-time events,
private functions, and other non-exhibition uses, preserving the gallery’s flexibility
as a multi-purpose space.
o Snack Bar. A new monthly fee was introduced in the spring for the use of snack
bars at City athletic field sites, including the Dublin Sports Grounds and Fallon
Sports Park. This monthly fee is intended to help offset the cost associated with
maintenance and permitting required to maintain these facilities.
o Summer Camps. Fee reductions are proposed for in-house seasonal summer
camps to better align with regional market rates following a review that found
current pricing above comparable programs.
o Processing Fees. PCS has historically charged a processing fee to participants
who transfer or withdraw from activities in which they are registered. These fees
are now being added to the MFS to improve transparency.

Agenda Item 4.1
DATE: March 3, 2026
TO: Honorable Committee Members
FROM: Hazel Wetherford, Deputy City Manager
SUBJECT:
Phased Adjustments to Sports Field Use Fees for Grass Athletic Fields
Prepared by: Jackie Dwyer, Parks & Community Services Director
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Finance and Investment Committee will receive a report on proposed phased adjustments to
grass athletic field use fees. The adjustments are intended to reduce the structural operating
subsidy, improve cost recovery, and establish a predictable long-term strategy while maintaining
support for youth sports and community access.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Receive the report and discuss the proposed phased adjustments to sports field use fees for
grass athletic fields.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
In Fiscal Year 2024-25, maintenance costs of the City’s grass athletic fields totaled $1,604,365.
Field use revenue was $261,854, resulting in a $1,342,511 General Fund subsidy (84%), with
current fees recovering approximately 16% of costs.
The proposed fee adjustments would be phased in over five years across three rate cycles
(2026, 2028, and 2030), increasing cost recovery to approximately 25%-30% and reducing the
General Fund subsidy while maintaining affordability for youth sports and community users.
No budget amendment is required at this time. Additional revenue would be incorporated into
future operating budget projections.
DESCRIPTION:
Grass athletic fields are among the City’s most heavily used recreational assets, supporting youth
and adult leagues, camps, tournaments, and community programming year round. The City has
historically subsidized field use to promote participation and resident access. However, most field
Attachment 4
405
Page 2 of 4
use fees have not been adjusted since 2012, but General Fund costs has grown significantly due
to rising labor, materials, irrigation, utility, and contracted service costs. The City currently
recovers approximately 16% of grass field maintenance costs, as demonstrated in Table 1.
Table 1: Grass Field Cost Recovery – FY 2024/25
Category Amount
Annual Maintenance Cost $1,604,365
Total Field Use Revenue $261,854
Annual Subsidy $1,342,511
Subsidy Rate 84%
Non-Profit Dublin-Based Youth Sports Leagues are the predominant users of grass athletic fields,
making up the largest share of revenue from all user groups in Table 2.

% of Total
Revenue
Non-Profit Dublin-Based Youth Sports Leagues $89,883 34%
All Other Users $171,971 66%
Total $261,854 100%
The average fee collected is $20.77 per hour, compared to an estimated $69.23 per hour needed
to achieve approximately 30% cost recovery. This is based on an average across all usage hours
and current fees, Tables 3 and 4.

Proposed Phased Adjustments
To responsibly address the structural gap, Staff recommends a five-year phased adjustment
spanning three rate cycles (2026, 2028, and 2030).
Table 5: Phased Grass Field Hourly Rate Adjustment Schedule
Groups Current Rate 2026 2028 2030
Groups 1 & 2 $7 $10 $13 $15
Group 3 $18 $26 $33 $39
Group 4 $22 $31 $41 $47
Group 5 $35 $37 $48 $56
The phased schedule was developed by first establishing a target rate of approximately $15 per
hour for Groups 1 and 2, reflecting a movement toward improved cost recovery while maintaining
affordability for youth sports organizations. The total increase required to reach this target was
then distributed across three rate cycles.
Following completion of the phased schedule, Staff recommends implementing a biennial
increase of $1 across all field types to maintain alignment with maintenance costs and avoid
future structural gaps. At this time, no fee adjustments are proposed for artificial turf fields or the
Fallon cricket pitch.
Tables 6 through 8 below show projected annual cost for the major youth user groups, with the
proposed rate increases in place. This assumes that annual reserved hours remain constant.

Regional Comparison
An evaluation of comparable jurisdictions shows that even with the proposed adjustments,
Dublin’s grass field use fees would remain generally consistent with or below regional averages.
The City would continue to subsidize a significant portion of maintenance costs but would be
