A brief description of these new fees is shown below. <br />Pathway Patching fee <br />This is a new fee proposed for this year. This fee is collected when a single family residential property <br />applies for a utility permit requiring their contractor to excavate within the right- of- way. It is similar <br />to the Street patching fee, and is only collected when a pathway is removed to complete the utility <br />work. The pathway is repaired by Public Works, the fee is used to pay for material and staff time to <br />make the required repair to the City's infrastructure. This only applies for existing homes performing <br />repair work on utilities, not new construction. <br />Engineering Plan Review and Permit fees <br />The following are proposed new fees. Engineering reviews many of the permits issued by Community <br />Development. In addition to initial plan review and approval, Public Works provides support in the <br />field for questions about existing conditions, site inspection, utility connections, utility disconnections, <br />neighbor coordination, and outside agency coordination. These fees would be added to the fees <br />charged by Community Development and would be used to offset staff time spent. The page numbers <br />reference the 2009 fee schedule. <br />POLICY OBJECTIVE <br />Adopting an annual fee schedule is consistent with governmental best practices and ensures that the City's <br />regulatory functions are properly funded. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACTS <br />Sased on the recommended fee adjustments, it is projected that revised fees will generate revenues <br />sufficient to cover the City's added regulatory costs. The applicable revenues and expenditures have been <br />included in the 2010 Sudget. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the 2010 Fee Schedule as attached. <br />REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION <br />Approve the attached Ordinance adopting the 2010 Fee Schedule, which shall go into effect as of January 1, <br />2010. <br />Prepared by: Chris Miller, Finance Director <br />Attachments: A: Ordinance adopting the 2010 Fee Schedule <br />B: Proposed 2010 Fee Schedule <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />
