HUSTON, CITY MANAGER FROM: CITY CLERK'S OFFICE SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING: ANNUAL REVIEW AND AMENDMENT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE SCHEDULE OF FEES AND CHARGES FOR CITY SERVICES SUMMARY Annually, City departments review the Comprehensive Schedule of Fees and Charges as they apply to their respective departments. The Building Division, Parks and Recreation, and Public Works Department have identified some fees that need to be modified or deleted. Proposed modifications to the Fee Schedule are outlined in agenda report and are included in Resolution No. 08-60. Said resolution deletes, adds, and/or modifies only a small percentage of fees, with the bulk of the fee schedule remaining the same. RECOMMENDATION That the City Council conduct a public hearing and adopt Resolution No. 08-60 amending the Comprehensive Schedule of Fees and Charges for City Services. FISCAL IMPACT None. No net increase to City revenue expected. Increased fees offset increased City costs. BACKGROUND The City provides a variety of services and programs to the community. Most of these services such as law enforcement, park operations, street maintenance, public facility operations, community events, city facility operations, etc. are for the benefit of the public at-large. These services and programs are paid for by general revenues derived from taxes and other revenue. Other types of service provided by the City benefit a particular individual or entity as opposed to the community at-large. These services include such things as the planning and engineering division review, processing of applications for development, issuance of building and grading permits, encroachment permits, building and engineering inspection, community services programs and facility usage, and other miscellaneous Page 2 services and programs. These services are funded through fees charged to those individuals and/or entities deriving benefit from the services. These charges are listed by department using specific exhibits for each department in the attached resolution. All departments reviewed their fees. The Community Development Department and Public Works Department propose to standardize some of their fees and deleted obsolete language. The Parks and Recreation Department surveyed neighboring cities regarding facility user/rental fees and recommends a 5% facility user/rental fee increase to be consistent with surrounding communities. Provided below are the proposed amendments to various sections of the Fee Schedule. Recommended amendments are marked in blue font with strikeout in red font for ease of review.
