COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
�
AGENDATITLE: Set Public Hearing for November 4, 2009, to Consider the Updated Planning
Division's Hourly Rate and Setting Various Fire Inspection Fees.
MEETING DATE: October 21,2009
PREPARED BY: Community Development Department
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Set Public Hearing for November 4, 2009, to Consider the Updated
Planning Division's Hourly Rate and Setting Various Fire Inspection
Fees.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In June 2006, the City Council adopted the Planning Division hourly
rate for billing purposes and setting the deposit amounts for various Planning applications. Since that
time, the cost for personnel and services has increased. A new analysis was prepared by the Finance
Departmentwhich indicatesthe fully burdened rate for Planning services to be $132.00 per hour.
In August 2008, the City contracted with the firm MGT of America to prepare a cost of services analysis
that would meet legal requirements and methodology for Building related fees. The City Council adopted
this methodology and a new fee schedule earlier this year. The fully burdened hourly rate for building
services was set at $133.00 per hour. As part of this year's budget, the Community Development
Department took on the tasks of providing Fire Inspection services for development related projects. We
are now looking to apply the Building services hourly rate to those services. In 2005, the current Fire
Department Fee schedule was approved by the City Council. That schedule based Fire Departmentfees
at a rate of $75.00 per hour. The fees proposed will increase as a result in the difference in hourly rate
from $75.00 per hourto $133.00 per hour.
FISCAL IMPACT: There should be a positive fiscal impact as a result of the recommended
action by relating the revenue collected to the actual cost of service.
