'CI-TY OF SAN BERNAQ,INO - REQUEST FcQ COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
A fee of $750.00 is currently collected from persons
requesting that proceedings be initiated to vacate all, or a
portion, of an easement for street and highway purposes. These
proceedings are done in accordance with the 1941 Street Vacation
Act.
This fee was set through an administrative action by the
City Administrator. It is recommended that this fee be formally
established by resolution at $1,000, in order to reflect actual
costs incurred for these proceedings.
Below is an estimate of cost for a typical vacation
proceeding:
Salaries - 32 hours X $21/45/Hr. =
Overhead - $686.40 X 0.30
=
$ 686.40
205.92
Publishing
125.00
Total Average Cost
$1,017.32
Items of work necessarily done to accomplish a vacation
are: preparation of map, notification of all utility companies
and City Department, secure authorization to proceed, have Reso.-
lution of Intention adopted, post notices along area requested to
be vacated, public legal notice, have Resolution Ordering Vaca-
tion adopted, record Resolution Ordering Vacation and amend
Street Vacation Index Maps to reflect vacation.
About 20 street vacation proceedings are processed each
year. Therefore, the additional annual revenue that will be
received from increasing this fee is $250 X 15 = $3,750.
This fee will not apply to City initiated vacations.
We recommend that a fee of $1,000.00 be established for
street and alley vacation proceedings.
