CITY OF SAN BERhRDINO - REQUEST FUR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
The Department of Public Services has conducted an extensive review of its
permit fees and services and the actual costs for providing those permits
and services. The review included a study of the labor-hours, accompanying
salary costs and equipment costs to provide each service. In some cases,
adaptations to the current code are necessary, as noted in the brief des-
scriptions below.
Sewer Connection Dye Test - Currently, $25.00. Proposed, $58.00. The dye
test involves office time to handle paperwork, the time for two Maintenance
Workers to drive to a residence, administer the dye and observe evidence of
dye in the sewer main. The cost of the dye and cost to operate the City
vehicle is included.
Encroachment Permit - Currently, $2..00 per space per day. Proposed, $3.00
for the permit and $5.00 per space per day. These costs reimburse the City
for the time to administer and produce the actual permit, the inspector's
time to drive by and inspect for proper barricading and warning devices,
and for the use of a City vehicle.
Permit to Move Buildings - Currently, $7.50. Proposed, $7.50 The actual
costs relate to office time to administer and produce the actual permit and
the construction inspector's time to review the route for any overhead
hazards (power lines, trees, etc.) and for weight limitation of any bridges
which may be traversed.
Street Cuttin Permits/S ecial De osit - (See attached resolution for chart
of proposed amounts Amounts are being increased $.07 on the lowest fees up
to $.20 on the highest fees. These costs are charged to any person(s) or
entities taking out a Street Cut Permit but not performing the repair of
their excavations.
Prospect Holes - Currently $.15 per prospect hole with a minimum $1.00 fee.
"Prospect holes" are holes typically one inch in diameter drilled into the
street surface for testing beneath the surface. Several holes are usually
drilled along a street and, under the current system, typically are not
refilled. Water seepage under the street surface as a result of unfilled
holes is very damaging.
The Department of Public Services is proposing a change in prospect hole
procedure. The new procedure involves obtaining a separate permit for holes
drilled on different streets or on different days. The construction inspector
will identify the locations of the holes and City forces will refill the holes
to City standards. The cost for this procedure will be $15.00 for the permit
and inspection of all holes drilled on a given street, as well as usage of a
City vehicle. A $5.00 fee will be charged to fill each hole. The $5.00
charge is a nominal fee for an asphalt crew and equipment to arrive at the
area and complete the patching.

STAFF REPORT
Permit for Capping & Performance of a Sewer Lateral - It has come to the
attention of the Director of Public Services that buildings are being moved,
demolished or otherwise destroyed without the sewer lateral on the property
being capped. This Department has been issuing sewer cap permits through
the Building and Safety permit process. The incidence of un-permitted and
un-inspected lateral caps indicates the current system is not functional.
The purpose of capping a sewer lateral when a structure is removed is to
prevent raw sewage from backflowing onto private property, with possibilities
of seepage into the ground water. It also prevents sand, rock, dirt and
other debris from penetrating into the sewer system.
The proposed ordinance ensures that demolition permits will not be issued
until a sewer cap permit has been iss~ed. To further prevent circumventing
this important step in demolition or moving, the Department of Public Services
will perform the actual capping of the sewer lateral. The office-hours,
labor-hours and equipment costs come to $144.00.
Street Cutting Permits/Inspection Fee (Asphalt and Concrete) - When a street
cutting permit is obtained and the permitee is planning to complete their own
repairs, only an inspection fee, and not the special repair deposit noted
above, is necessary. The Department of Public Services is proposing permits
inspection-only fees of $41.00 (on a sliding scale upward if excessive inspec-
tions or emergency inspections are required). The fee is based on the time
it takes to administer and produce the permit as well as the time for inspec-
tions and City vehicle usage.
