Of the ten cities which were queried on this matter, a range of Administrative Fees was found to be from 45% (Long Beach) to 90% (San Diego). The fees were determined by taking into consideration the City's cost of doing business up to and including lease-mortgage payments, occupied space, utilities, and all other costs to the city in daily operation. This fee is also justified by the 1988 Uniform Building Code, chapter 3, Table No.3-A, entitled Building Permit Fees on page 19 (under other inspection fees, Exhibit nAn). The Uniform Building Code is adopted by Ordinance in the San Bernardino Municipal Code 15.04.020. Attached is the detailed cost justification sheet (Exhibit nBn). STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that as authorized by SBMC Sections 8.33.050 and 8.33.070 and 15.28.110, the resolution to include a 40% Administrative Fee to the cost of abatement action(s), for the purpose of recovering the administrative costs incurred by the City be adopted. Staff also recommends that a charge of $125.00 be levied for processing of a Notice of Pendency recommended in said Resolution be adopted.
