Parks & Recreation (Sec. V) Staff is proposing a number of changes to this section. The following details the proposed changes: • Reorganized for readability: The previous schedule often had multiple fees in a single cell, which made it hard to read. It has now been reorganized so that each line item has a single dollar amount associated with the specific fee. • Missing fees: Some categories did not have fees listed and so reasonable, comparable fees were added to fill those gaps. • Security deposits: While we rarely retain security deposits, the current amount does not fully cover damages when they occur. Based on feedback from maintenance staff, increasing the deposit to $300 is proposed to better align with potential costs. • Refunds: The previous schedule did not include refund information. Clear guidance has been added outlining when refunds will be issued. • Pavilion & Picnic Shelters: In order to remain consistent with our current practice, it is suggested that we remove the options of I I am - 4 pm and 5 pm - 10 pm. Instead, renters will have access to the building from 10 am - 10 pm on the day of their rental, regardless of their actual event time. Currently, Parks Maintenance staff has requested we only allow I rental per day, so this will align with that request. • Taxes: All prices now include the 8.375% tax. This makes the document easier to read and ensures renters see the total price upfront. • Notes: Staff has removed outdated or unnecessary notes and added clarifying notes regarding Youth Athletic Associations Ballfield rentals to ensure consistent application of fees and refunds to all users. Rounding: All fees have been rounded to the nearest $5 for consistency and readability. Planninz and Zoning (Sec. VI) Changes reflect an increase in fees and escrow to accommodate a fee schedule that is more proportional to the staff time dedicated to the type of project, including legal consultation. The minimum fee for labor-intensive planning cases was increased by $50. This was to address the amount of time taken by individuals in the various departments that take time to address a planning and/or zoning application. A consistent flat minimum fee of $100 for small scale projects that require time from the community development department and administration is proposed to better reflect staff time. Public Works/Enzineerinz (Sec. VII) This section has been substantially revised and includes several new items which better reflect existing City ordinances and/or State statute. The proposed changes for Right -of -Way permits, Grading & Erosion Control permits, Restoration fees and the addition of a section for Billable Rates for City Equipment and Labor will allow staff to manage permits more efficiently and match the Building Department's process. The associated Administrative Fees match market rates and account for the procedural process that will be followed. New fees related to Water Tower Telecommunications and related plan review, inspections, maintenance and repair access are also proposed to be added. These fees will improve the process for water tower related permits. Staff also proposes adding a new Water shut-off/turn-on line item that clarifies the current process for water on/off requests that are received. Page 3 of 5
