Subiect: Set a public hearing for Monday, June 2, 2008, at 4:00 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers to discuss the adjustment of various user fees and the establishment of new user fees. Back2round: On April 21", the Mayor and Common Council were presented an updated Master Fee Resolution. At that time, the Council forwarded the entire item to the Ways and Means Committee. The Committee removed certain items and referred the fee item back to the Council for consideration. On May 5th the Mayor and Council closed a public hearing and adopted Resolution 2008-147, adjusting many user fees and establishing certain new fees. On May 7th, staff provided the Ways and Means Committee with additional information on the remaining items. Attachment A illustrates each of these with a side by side comparison of the current fee amount, the originally proposed adjusted amount, and the new proposed amount. In addition, each of these fees has a corresponding cost analysis worksheet justifying each fee increase (attached). The Committee recommended that the following fees be forwarded for council approval: . City Clerk's Office - Application Processing Fee for Business Registration: The Committee has recommended lowering this fee from $12.00 to $10.00. The City Clerk's Office o has prepared an Ordinance allowing for the collection of this fee. · City Clerk's Office - Operator Permit Background Investigation: The Committee recommended charging a fee that would cover the entire cost of providing this service to any business owner required to register under Municipal Code 5.82. This includes restaurants, hotels/motels, and delis. Originally this fee was proposed for $100.00. At the Committee's recommendation, this fee was raised to $293.00. · City Clerk's Office - Massage Permit Application Fees for Massage Investigations:. The Committee requested that the City Clerk's office consider an Ordinance establishing a two tier system whereby massage technicians with tables in established beauty salons will be charged a lower fee than owners and technicians in independent massage parlors. The City Clerk's Office, working with the City Attorney's Office, has created an Ordinance that differentiates between the two establishments. That Ordinance will be presented to the Mayor and Common Council as a separate item. As a result, the Massage Permit Application fees and the Massage Exam fees will not be effective until after the effective date of the new Ordinance. Accordingly, the fee has been increased from $100 to $293 for owners and from $25 to $293 for technicians. For owners and technicians of established salons providing accessory services, this fee will be increased to $100.00. o . City Clerk's Office - Massage Exam Fees: The Committee recommended charging a fee that covers the entire cost of providing this service to owners and technicians working in massage 5/14/2008 I o o o parlors. As a result, the fee has been increased from- $60 to $152 for owners and from $25 to $152 for technicians. For owners and technicians in established salons providing accessory services this fee will be increased to $140.00. This fee will not be effective until after the effective date of the new Ordinance. . Development Services - Lot line adjustments: Initially, the recommended fee for all lot line adjustments was $828.00. The Committee recommended establishing a two-tier fee to lessen the burden on homeowners. The proposed fee for lot line adjustments for a single family/owner occupied home is $414.00. The proposed fee for commercial and residential lot line adjustments will remain at $828.00. . Parks and Recreation - Fee increase for swim classes: The Committee requested a more detailed analysis of this program to justify the fee increase. The attached worksheet takes into consideration equipment and custodial costs that were not originally included in the fee justification. The current fee amount is $35.00; the proposed fee amount is $40.00. Most of the remaining adjusted and new fees would be effective immediately upon the adoption of the resolution. The Government Code requires that all development related fees take effect no sooner than 60 days after their adoption, which would make the lot line adjustment fees effective August 1st, 2008. Next Steps The next step in this process is to set a public hearing for June 2nd at which the Mayor and Common Council will consider the proposed amendments to the master fee resolution which will incorporate all new and revised fees. Upon the closing of the public hearing, the Mayor and Common Council may adopt the fee resolution. Financial Impact: None by this action. Adoption of the fee resolution will generate approximately $184,000 in net revenue to the General Fund in FY 08-09. Recommendation: Set a public hearing for Monday, June 2nd, 2008, at 4:00 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers to discuss the adjustment of various user fees and the establishment of new user fees. 5/14/2008 2 o - i ~ d "'1- il::=> ~ ~ rz. - ~ => Q I I 'i! !: ILl!! :8 .~ ~1i!! b~ ~<;og!~ e';1~1~ 5gi'OiJvi %I.!
