2023 Master Fees and Charges Study Session
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Provide direction to staff in preparing material for a public hearing and adoption of fees and
charges at the December 6, 2022 council meeting.
BACKGROUND
For the benefit of the public as well as efficiency in administration, Lake Oswego maintains a
compilation of all fees charged by the city for a variety of services, such as utility services, usage

of fields and recreational classes, and building permits and plan inspections, to name a few. It
is published in a user-friendly booklet (available online), and the fees themselves are reviewed
by the city council and adopted by council resolution each fall for the following calendar year.
All fees go into effect on January 1, 2023 with the new calendar year, except for the utilities.
Those new fees for services go into effect as of July 1, 2023, the first day of the new fiscal year.
This provides staff sufficient time for public education and customer notification.
Increases in utility service fees often
generate the most interest and discussion. Table 1: Fee Increase Average%
The Master Fees & Charges booklet (see for a Typical Month hangs Increase
Attachment 1) begins, therefore, with Water $1.25 2.0
utility fees. Pages 5 and 6 in the Master Sewer 3.22 3.9
Fees & Charges booklet present key Stormwater 1.41 7.0
information for all utilities in one snapshot, Street Maintenance 5.59 50.9
including the monthly total fee increase a
typical customer is likely to experience. Total $11.47 _ 6.5
The city uses ten CCF of water and eight CCF for sewer when calculating a typical customer.
1 CCF is 100 cubic feet or 748 gallons. The actual consumption can vary greatly from customer
to customer.
Many fees charged by the city are set to recover either all or part of the costs to provide the
service, to remain affordable, and to be competitive with similar services in the city or
neighboring jurisdictions. Every year departments review their fees and modify them where
deemed necessary, and often modify them by a cost index.
Staff researched several cost indices on the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) website. Portland
falls under the West Region B/C index (The Western Region CPI is broken down between group
A and B/C: cities with populations of greater than 2.5 million (A) or those with less (B/C). The
indices are shown below as a rolling one-year index from June 2021 to June 2022. For
construction cost index (CCI), the private Engineering News-Record indices are from October
2021 to October 2022:
Table 2: Indices 12-month
Change
West Region CPI (all items) 8.8%
West Region—A CPI (all items) 8.9%
West Region—B/C CPI (all items) 8.5%
West Region CPI (all items less energy and food increases) 6.2%
Energy prices 36.6%
Engineering News-Record Construction Cost Index—20 city average (CCI) 5.7%
Engineering News-Record Construction Cost Index for Seattle (CCI-Seattle) 12.0%

Staff reported the indices last year, and they were comparable in the same order at 5.1%, 4.4%,
6.0%, 4.1%, 25.1%, 8.0%, and 6.2%, respectively. The Energy Prices Index is the largest change
and has increased largely due to the higher prices for gasoline.
When reviewing fees, several departments take guidance from the above indices or some
variation thereof. Water and sewer connection charges are proposed to change with the CCI,
as is the street maintenance fee, and all system development charges. Prior councils
established this policy and the attached Master Fees & Charges booklet reflects those changes.
The following discussion will highlight the major changes in each section of the booklet, but is
not intended to be a complete list. Instead, the Master Fees & Charges booklet is presented in
a 'track-changes' format so that all changes can easily be identified by the reader.
DISCUSSION
Utilities
In the utilities, capital projects' are usually the main cost driver and the reason for needed fee
increases. These fees can be used to pay for smaller capital projects and to pay the debt service
payments on the larger capital projects over time.
Water: The LO-Tigard Water Partnership project construction phase has been complete for a
few years and Tigard's portion of the assets were transferred at the end of the 2018 fiscal year.
Funding for the project was provided primarily through a bond issue for$77 million completed
in September 2013. The annual debt service payments on these bonds are roughly$5.8 million.
The water utility is scheduled to increase fees by two percent this coming fiscal year, similar to
the previous five years, to build its ability to pay for operations and for this ongoing debt
service. For an average water usage month, this will add a little over$1 to a typical monthly bill
for water (see Table 1 above).
Sewer: The City updated its sewer rate model to incorporate the latest cost estimates from
Portland for the Tryon Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrades. These projections were
presented to council in July 2020 by FCS group. The model called for annual increases to the
sewer rates of 3.9%for the next 15 years. This will add a little over$3 per month to a typical
Lake Oswego homeowner bill.
Stormwater: With continued needs for the stormwater utility, it is recommended to have the
same seven percent increase similar to the past years as outlined with the 2009 Clean Streams
Plan due to the amount of unfunded capital projects.2
Street Maintenance:The Pavement Condition Index is lower than desired. Existing policy calls
for an annual fee increase in the amount of the CCI (see Table 2 above), which is currently 5.7%.
1 Street maintenance projects are considered to be capital projects because they are designed to extend the life of
pavement.

Council also gave direction to increase the Street Maintenance Fee to incorporate an additional
$1.5 million for annual pathway funding. This increase equates to an additional 45.2%. The
total proposed fee increase is 50.9% or an additional $5.59 per month for a typical home owner
in Lake Oswego.
All proposed increases have been evenly applied to fixed and to variable portions of each fee. It
is the goal to structure the fixed and variable portion of a customer fee to align with the utility's
fixed and variable cost structure. The one caveat to this is adding a conservation element to
the rates. The cost and fee structure are lining up closely enough to provide a stable revenue
stream to cover fixed costs.
Building
Community Development Code enforcement charges are usually increased by the most recent
West Region CPI (B/C size class). This year the CPI is 8.5%. Staff is suggesting we cap the rate
increase to 6%. This keeps the 10-year average to less than 3% per year
Planning
The Planning Department similarly adjusts the majority of its fees by the most recent West
Region CPI (B/C size class). Similar to the code enforcement charges, staff is suggesting we
increase rates by 6%, not the CPI of 8.5%.
System Development Charges
Per established policy, system development charges (SDCs) are increased annually by the
percentage growth in the CCI. These fees are used for various capacity building parks and utility
capital projects.
CONCLUSION
A public hearing is scheduled for December 6, 2022, as part of the City Council's review and
adoption of fee changes. Major changes in assumptions in any of the utilities as a result of the
study session may lead to a modification of rate models and would have to be revisited at a
later time.

Section 12: Systems Development Charges
Systems Development Charges
Fees shall be assessed for Systems Development Charges(SDC) and will reflect the following:
• For each type of SDC,the fees assessed to each unit of a duplex shall be the same as those assessed to a
single-family residence.
• For an Accessory Dwelling Unit(ADU)each type of SDC will be waived, even if a larger meter is required to
accommodate an ADU, provided that the ADU complies with all the requirements of the covenant
required by LOC 39.06.105(5) as amended by Ordinance 2810.
If within 10 years from the first use of the ADU as a dwelling unit,the requirements of this covenant
are not maintained,the City may declare the ADU exemption from payment of all System
Development Charges(SDCs) revoked and the Owner shall immediately pay to the City the monies
due under LOC 39.06.105(5),to wit:
Processing fee per Council Resolution;and
■ SDC amounts for ADU per Lake Oswego Master Fees and Charges at time of payment
(previously exempted system development charges, with interest based upon inflation rate
using the Engineering News—Record Construction Cost Index 20-City Average, are reflected
in the SDC amounts then due).
■ Processing fee$500
• Pursuant to and following the procedure set forth in LOC 39.06.105(5)(f)(iii), (iv), (v),the processing fee
and SDC amounts shall be a lien upon the Real Property,entered in the municipal lien docket,and are
enforceable in the manner provided by ORS Ch. 223. Exempt from SDCs are developments where the
proposed dwelling units are affordable to those earning 80%or less of Area Median Income and spending
not more than 30%of household income on housing,consistent with Clackamas County Housing
Authority's"Income Limits"for Affordable Housing, provided that the development complies with all of
the requirements of the covenant required by LOC 39.06.105(5).
• The rate for Hotel/Transient Lodging includes Short-Term Rentals(Transient Lodging in residential zones).
These SDC's shall be indexed for inflation annually using the Engineering News—Record Construction Cost Index
(20-city average). Accordingly,as of January 1, 20243,the SDC fees have been increased by 8-:05_7%which is equal
to the last recorded change in this index as based on October 20221 to October 20232 data. Calculated amount is
rounded to the nearest dollar.

Parks and Recreation Systems Development Charge Fee Methodology
Residential Development
a. An applicant for a building permit should complete a Lake Oswego Parks System Development
Charges Application and SDC Calculation Worksheet indicating the type and number of new Dwelling
Units to be included in the project.
b. The Building Department enters the SDC rates per dwelling on the application form and calculates the
SDCs to be paid by the Applicant.
SDC Improvement Fee*
Type of Dwelling Unit per Dwelling Unit
$ 15,672
Single Family Dwelling Unit $ 16,565
Multi-Family Dwelling Unit $ 8,717
$ 9,214
II. Non-Residential Development
a. An applicant for a building permit should complete a Lake Oswego Parks System Development
Charges Application and SDC Calculation Worksheet indicating the type and number of square feet of
building space for each non-residential use to be included in the project. Guidelines for the number
of square feet required for each employee are included in the table on the following page for major
Standard Industry Classifications. Where a proposed use does not specifically match one of the
2023 Master Fees and Charges—Attachments Page 71
Appendix
classifications listed in the table,the listed classification which most closely matches the proposed
use,as determined by the City Manager, may be substituted.
b. The Building Department calculates the non-residential SDC Improvement Fee by:
i. Dividing the building space(square feet)for each non-residential use in the development by
the number of square feet per employee(from the guidelines in the Square Feet Per
Employee table),and
ii. Multiplying the result(from step 1) by the SDC rate Per New Employee($ 1,008 as of
January 1, 2022).Any proposed use which constitutes 10%or less of the total building space
should be considered an ancillary use and does not require a separate calculation; however,
the building space for such uses must be included in the total for other non-residential uses.
*Rates are based on Improvement Fee only(no Reimbursement Fee).
III. Senior and Affordable Housing Definitions(Per Resolution 08-42):
a. "Congregate Housing" is defined as"multi-unit housing with self-contained apartments that contain
cooking facilities which support independent lifestyles for those that have life-function disabilities
due to age, medical, or mental condition,which do not require residential care or skilled nursing
services. Congregate housing provides varying levels of support services,such as meals, laundry,
housekeeping,transportation, and social, recreation,cultural and education activities. The full range
of services normally associated with residential care facility,are not provided in association with
congregate housing." (Section 50.02.005 Definitions, City Code)
Rate Provision: Charged at 50%of the Multi-Family residential rate.
b. "Residential Care Housing" is considered to be non-residential in nature and is defined as a facility
that houses and provides services for 6 or more persons who may have a range of physical and
mental health problems, including chronic and debilitating conditions requiring assistance with daily
activities. This term is synonymous with other terms such as"assisted living facilities"and "adult care
housing" used to describe housing which provides the range of services described below. Living units
within residential care housing do not have cooking facilities. A range of services is provided
including staff supervised meals, housekeeping and personal care medication supervision, recreation,
cultural,social activities and transportation. Residential care housing facilities may include housing
for persons needing intermediate care. These are persons who do not require around-the-clock
nursing, but who do need preventative care,therapies at levels less than continuous licensed nursing
care or observation. Intermediate care emphasizes personal,social and emotional/mental health

2023 Master Fees and Charges—Attachments Page 73
Appendix
If the development is a modification or expansion of an existing structure,or redevelopment of a property
from a previous use,the SDC amount is based on the net increase in the number of Dwelling Units and/or
employees,calculated as follows:
a. Calculate an SDC on the development as though the entire development was subject to the SDC;
b. Calculate an SDC on the existing development, before modification, expansion, or
redevelopment,as though the existing development was subject to the SDC;
c. Calculate the net SDC amount by subtracting the result of Step b from the result of Step a; if the
result is zero or less than zero, no SDC is due.

Parks and Recreation Systems Development Charge Fee Methodology
Residential Development
a. An applicant for a building permit should complete a Lake Oswego Parks System Development
Charges Application and SDC Calculation Worksheet indicating the type and number of new Dwelling
Units to be included in the project.
b. The Building Department enters the SDC rates per dwelling on the application form and calculates the
SDCs to be paid by the Applicant.
SDC Improvement Fee*
Type of Dwelling Unit per Dwelling Unit
Single Family Dwelling Unit $ 16,565
Multi-Family Dwelling Unit $ 9,214
II. Non-Residential Development
a. An applicant for a building permit should complete a Lake Oswego Parks System Development
Charges Application and SDC Calculation Worksheet indicating the type and number of square feet of
building space for each non-residential use to be included in the project. Guidelines for the number
of square feet required for each employee are included in the table on the following page for major
Standard Industry Classifications. Where a proposed use does not specifically match one of the
classifications listed in the table,the listed classification which most closely matches the proposed
use,as determined by the City Manager, may be substituted.
b. The Building Department calculates the non-residential SDC Improvement Fee by:
i. Dividing the building space(square feet)for each non-residential use in the development by
the number of square feet per employee(from the guidelines in the Square Feet Per
Employee table),and
ii. Multiplying the result(from step 1) by the SDC rate Per New Employee($ 1,008 as of
January 1, 2022).Any proposed use which constitutes 10%or less of the total building space
should be considered an ancillary use and does not require a separate calculation; however,
the building space for such uses must be included in the total for other non-residential uses.
*Rates are based on Improvement Fee only(no Reimbursement Fee).

Ill. Senior and Affordable Housing Definitions(Per Resolution 08-42):
a. "Congregate Housing" is defined as"multi-unit housing with self-contained apartments that contain
cooking facilities which support independent lifestyles for those that have life-function disabilities
due to age, medical,or mental condition,which do not require residential care or skilled nursing
services. Congregate housing provides varying levels of support services,such as meals, laundry,
housekeeping,transportation,and social, recreation,cultural and education activities. The full range
of services normally associated with residential care facility,are not provided in association with
congregate housing." (Section 50.02.005 Definitions,City Code)
Rate Provision: Charged at 50%of the Multi-Family residential rate.
b. "Residential Care Housing" is considered to be non-residential in nature and is defined as a facility
that houses and provides services for 6 or more persons who may have a range of physical and
mental health problems, including chronic and debilitating conditions requiring assistance with daily
activities. This term is synonymous with other terms such as"assisted living facilities"and "adult care
housing" used to describe housing which provides the range of services described below. Living units
within residential care housing do not have cooking facilities. A range of services is provided
including staff supervised meals, housekeeping and personal care medication supervision, recreation,
cultural,social activities and transportation. Residential care housing facilities may include housing
for persons needing intermediate care. These are persons who do not require around-the-clock
nursing, but who do need preventative care,therapies at levels less than continuous licensed nursing
care or observation. Intermediate care emphasizes personal,social and emotional/mental health
care, but involves the availability of 24 hour service with physicians and nurses in supervisory roles.
Skilled nursing services, including convalescent care, may be provided as an accessory and
subordinate use in conjunction with residential care facilities. (Section 50.02.005 Definitions,City
Code).
Rate Provision: Charged at 50%of the Non-Residential rate.

IV. Modification, Expansion,or Redevelopment
If the development is a modification or expansion of an existing structure, or redevelopment of a property
from a previous use,the SDC amount is based on the net increase in the number of Dwelling Units and/or
employees,calculated as follows:
a. Calculate an SDC on the development as though the entire development was subject to the SDC;
b. Calculate an SDC on the existing development, before modification,expansion,or
redevelopment, as though the existing development was subject to the SDC;
c. Calculate the net SDC amount by subtracting the result of Step b from the result of Step a; if the
result is zero or less than zero, no SDC is due.
