MEQUEST FOR, COUNCIL ACTION <br />Department Approval <br />Item Description: Adopting the 2009 Fee Schedule by Ordinance <br />Date: 11/17/08 <br />Item No.: 9.a <br />City Manager Approval <br />BACKGROUND <br />Each year the City Council is asked to adopt a Fee Schedule which establishes the fees and charges for <br />service for the City's regulatory functions. The presence of a fee schedule allows regulatory-type fees to be <br />easily identified in one document, as opposed to being scattered throughout City Code. In addition, a fee <br />schedule adopted on an annual basis provides the Council the opportunity to review fees for services in a <br />comprehensive manner. Beginning in 2009, and based upon the advice of the City Attorney, the Council is <br />asked to adopt the Fee Schedule by ordinance. <br />Over the past several months, Staff has reviewed the direct and indirect costs of the City's regulatory <br />functions to determine whether fee adjustments are necessary. In general, it was determined that the fees <br />were appropriately set with a few exceptions. Based on this analysis, Staff recommends adjustments to the <br />following fees: <br />2009 Recommended Fee Adjustments <br />An <br />overview for each proposed fee adjustment is presented below. <br />Page I of 4 <br />
