2. Report regarding the proposed amendments to the Master Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2022-23
(Jason Wong, Acting Director of Finance)
Acting Finance Director Wong presented the proposed amendments to the Master Fee Schedule for fiscal
year 2022-23. He recommended that the Budget Standing Committee provide feedback before the City
Council adoption for May 25, 2022. If approved as proposed, based on the current schedule, the new
Master Fee Schedule would go into effect on July 24, 2022.
Vice Mayor Nicolas inquired how South San Francisco compared to neighboring cities with the 5.2%
Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase. Acting Finance Director Wong advised that he did not have the
data readily available but would provide that information after the meeting. City Manager Futrell added
that developers have stated that South San Francisco fees were fair and reasonable. He advised that the
city typically does not do a comparison study on fees because the fees were cost recovery.
Councilmember Addiego inquired whether other municipalities included administrative overhead into
their fees and wondered whether South San Francisco did something similar. Assistant City Manager
Ranals confirmed that the city's fees included administrative overhead.
City Manager Futrell thanked the Budget Standing Committee members for their feedback and advised
staff would present their report to the entire City Council at the next meeting.
Report regarding Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) at Orange Memorial Park; the Sports Field
Project and Aquatic Center Project, Bridges Replacement Project and Playground Replacement
with recommended bond funding strategies. (Jacob Gilchrist, Director of Capital Projects, and
Jason Wong, Acting Finance Director)
Acting Finance Director Wong and Director Gilchrist presented the report and recommended that the
Budget Standing Committee consider and provide direction regarding bond funding for CIP projects at
Orange Memorial Park. Projects included the construction of a synthetic turf multi -use sports field,
replacing Orange Pool with a New Aquatic Center, replacing pedestrian bridges at Colma Creek, and
replacing the existing playground with an all -abilities playground.
Councilmember Addiego questioned whether Orange Memorial Park required two bridges due to its
small size. Director Mediati stated both bridges needed significant work and advised another option was
to invest the money into one bridge and use the other bridge money for another project.
Councilmember Addiego stated that there was a lot of excitement for the Orange Memorial Aquatic
Center and suggested that staff promote the warm water pool.
Councilmember Addiego believed ten years seemed short and inquired whether that was the standard
lifespan for playground equipment. Director Mediati confirmed that 10-15 years was the average lifespan
depending on the site's amount of use.
Vice Mayor Nicolas stated the sources of revenue were an excellent way to gauge whether the city could
achieve the projects.
Councilmember Addiego requested some sensitivity analysis of the recent sales tax receipts. City
Manager Futrell stated staff would gather the analysis and anything else needed to analyze so that the
Budget Standing Committee members could decide whether they were comfortable with the projects.
City Manager Futrell thanked the Budget Standing Committee members for their input and would use it
to provide information for the May 11th regular City Council meeting for council approval.
