AGENDA TITLE: Adopt resolution to revise the current abatement fee schedule for rotating
contractor list
MEETING DATE: April 7, 2004
PREPARED BY: Community Development Department
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt by Resolution the attached Abatement
Fee Schedule.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On December 20, 2000, the City Council adopted a Resolution
establishing an Abatement Fee Schedule and Policies and
Procedures for Rotating Abatement Contractor Listing.
That Fee Schedule has successfully been implemented since that time by the Community Improvement
Division through the code enforcement activity of boarding up vacant, unsecured buildings and the
removal of garbage, junk and debris in those cases where the owner has failed to voluntarily secure or
clean up their properties after having been given due notice.
The standardized fees based upon the size of window or door openings has streamlined that abatement
process considerably and ensured that costs assessed against properties are reasonable.
Since the original adoption of that Abatement Fee Schedule in 2000, material costs for plywood have
skyrocketed and contractors that participate in the rotation list for abatements have voiced concern that
the fees do not cover the current cost of providing the abatement service. Staff has researched and
verified that in the past four years, the cost of plywood has doubled.
Staff has reviewed the existing fee schedule and has calculated that an increase of $5 for every half -
sheet used and $10 for every full -sheet used would be an appropriate adjustment to account for the
increase in material costs. The revised Abatement Fee Schedule attached as Exhibit A reflects those
adjustments. Exhibit B provides a comparison on just those fees that are being revised or adjusted.
There are no revisions necessary to any other portion of the fee schedule.
