PROJECTED REVENUES AND EXPENSES
The proposed fee schedule sets forth fees that will fund the operations of the Contra
Costa County Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA) in fiscal year 2010-2011.
These fees are collected in a single fee system mandated by the California Health &
Safety Code (HSC) section 25404.5.
The governing board of every CUPA is required to
“establish the amount to be paid by each person regulated by the unified program under
the single fee system at a level sufficient to pay the necessary and reasonable costs
incurred by the certified unified program agency. . . “ (HSC § 25404.5(a)(2)A.)
The proposed fees are based on projections of expenses and revenues for the fiscal
year 2010-2011.
Expense Projections
The first step in the budget process is projecting expenses for fiscal year 2010-2011.
These projected expenses are for the County CUPA as a whole and for each of the
individual CUPA programs.
The expenses of the County CUPA include staff salaries,
and benefits, services and supplies, and overhead.
Staff salaries and benefits make up
the bulk of the annual expenses of the County CUPA and of each of the CUPA
programs.
Some expenses are attributable to specific programs.
The salaries and
benefits of inspectors of underground storage tanks, for example, would be attributed
directly to the Underground Storage Tank Program.
Other expenses, such as
administrative overhead, apply to the CUPA as a whole.
These other expenses are
proportionally allocated based on the staff regular working hours’ salary and benefits.
The projections of expenses for the fiscal year 2010-2011 start with the expenses for
the fiscal year 2009-2010.
Projected expenses for the fiscal year 2009-2010 are based
on the actual expenses incurred for this fiscal year.
Extraordinary expenses projected during fiscal year 2009-2010 that are not expected in
the fiscal year 2010-2011 are subtracted from the baseline expense projection for fiscal
year 2009-2010.
There is a projected decrease in the building costs of $463,311 for
fiscal year 2009-2010.
Conversely, extraordinary expenses that are projected and
budgeted for fiscal year 2010-2011but not included in the past fiscal year expense
projections are added.
For fiscal year 2010-2011, these include a $50,000 anticipated
expense in upgrading the hazardous materials response vehicles diesel exhaust system
to meet the new air quality requirements.
The expense projections for fiscal years 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 are shown below for
the County CUPA as a whole and the individual CUPA programs.

Revenue Projections
After expenses for the fiscal year 2010-2011 have been projected, the next step is to
look at the revenue side of the balance sheet.
Annual permit fee payments are the
primary revenue source for the Contra Costa County CUPA.
Additional revenue
sources include late payment penalties, enforcement fines, payments for incident
response, and grants.
The revenues also include any carryover or shortfalls from the
previous fiscal year.
A carryover is added to the revenues because there were excess
fees collected the previous fiscal year, while a shortfall is a shortage of revenues from
the previous year that is to be made up partially or completely in the current fiscal year.
Some revenues are collected on an intermittent basis.
These include monies collected
for underground storage tank plan checks and inspections after repairs or modifications.
The same is true for revenues resulting from cost recovery for services provided by the
hazardous material response team.
Fines, late penalties, incident response payments
and grants fall into the same category.
These revenues are projected for fiscal year
2010-2011 by the actual revenues in those categories for the fiscal year 2009-2010.
The total of these revenues are then compared to the expenses to determine the
remaining revenues needed to operate the County CUPA for the fiscal year 2010-2011.

The remaining revenues that are needed to fund the CUPA for fiscal year 2010-2011are
collected from regulated business in the form of annual permit fees.
A single fee is
charged to each regulated business, with the total broken down by program on the
annual invoice.
The amount of the fee paid by a particular business depends on the
programs applicable to that business, the number of regulated businesses within the
jurisdiction of the County CUPA, and numerous other factors that include the size of the
business, the amount of hazardous waste generated by that business, projected
inventories of hazardous materials handled on site and tank capacities.
The projected revenues for Fiscal Years 2010/2011 and the actual revenues for
2009/2010 for the CUPA as a whole and each of the CUPA programs are shown below:
