The presence of a fee schedule allows regulatory-type fees to <br />4 be easily identified in one document, as opposed to being scattered throughout City Code. In addition, a <br />5 fee schedule adopted on an annual basis provides the Council the opportunity to review fees for services <br />6 in a comprehensive manner. <br />7 <br />8 Over the past several months, Staff has reviewed the direct and indirect costs of these regulatory functions <br />9 to determine whether fee adjustments are necessary or if new fees should be established. Based on this <br />10 analysis, Staff recommends adjustments, as detailed in the attached summary. <br />11 <br />12 All of the proposed changes are highlighted in yellow on the attached Fee Schedule, and generally reflect <br />13 the need to recover increased regulatory costs, staff time related to special requests, or development- <br />14 related impacts on city services. <br />15 <br />16 P OLICY O BJECTIVE <br />17 Adopting an annual fee schedule is consistent with governmental best practices and ensures that the City’s <br />18 regulatory functions are properly funded. <br />19 F INANCIAL I MPACTS <br />20 Based on the recommended fee adjustments, it is projected that revised fees will generate revenues <br />21 sufficient to cover the City’s added regulatory costs. <br />22 R EQUESTED C OUNCIL A CTION <br />23 Review the attached fee schedule in advance of the final consideration of anordinance amending the <br />24 2023 Fee Schedule to be presented as part of the overall 2023Budget. <br />25 <br />26 <br />Prepared by: Katie Bruno, Deputy City Clerk <br /> <br />Attachments: A.
