Department Approval <br />�� ,�: �� <br />Item Description <br />l�'�, <br />Jy <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Adopting the 2010 Fee Schedule by Ordinance <br />Date: 11/16/09 <br />Item No.: 9.a <br />City Manager Approval <br />� / <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. <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. Sased on this analysis, Staff recommends adjustments to the <br />following fees: <br />❖ Erosion control permits <br />❖ Leaf Program fee <br />❖ Right-of-way permits <br />❖ Street patching fee <br />❖ Demolition permits <br />❖ Grading plan review and permit fees <br />❖ Mechanical permits <br />❖ Sewer and water connection fee <br />❖ Sign permit <br />❖ Swimming pool permit <br />❖ PUD application fee <br />❖ Conditional use escrow <br />❖ Zoning use change application fees <br />❖ Master sign plan fee <br />City Staff is also recommending the establishment of new fees to offset costs currently funded by non- <br />program revenues. They include: <br />❖ Pathway patching fee <br />❖ Engineering-related fees for Plan Review and Permits <br />Page 1 of 3 <br />
