The Resolution provided for amendment of the fee schedule from time to time by Resolution of City Council. The rate and cost- basis for fee- based services are periodically reviewed by Staff, usually as part of the annual budget process or on an as- needed basis. Comparison of fees with surrounding localities. is considered during the fee analysis. Recommendations for fee adjustment are based upon this information. DISCUSSION: A copy of the City' s Comprehensive Fee Schedule is attached, which includes a detailed listing of City Services and Programs showing both existing and proposed rates. A summary of the proposed changes are as follows: 1. Paqe 3, Historic Site Fees ( New Fees) - Community Development Services has proposed that a new fee be established to cover the administrative costs involved for processing three ( 3) types of requests regarding Historic Structures: i. Designation as a Historic Site or Structure; ii. Demolition of a Structure over 50 years old; or iii. Request for Waiver of a Requirement of Archaeological and Historical Preservation Act 2. Paqe 4, Corporate Sponsorship Fees (Increase) - Parks and Recreation has proposed an adjustment to the fees for corporate sponsorship of athletic teams from $ 210 youth/$ 300 adult to $ 225 youth/$ 310 adult. Justification for this increase relates to increases in the cost of uniforms and officiating fees. 1 k b- #:-Ib  3. Paqe 8. Service Fees ( Restructured) - Wrecker These fees have been incorporated into the Fee Schedule as per the "Wrecker" Ordinance 1671 passed in June 2006.

Paqe 8, False Alarm Fines ( Restructured) - These fees are been incorporated into the Fee Schedule as per the " False Alarm" Ordinance 1667 passed in November 2005. The Police department recommended a fee structure based on the number of false alarms for the purpose of discouraging repeat offenders. 5. Paqe 18 - 20, Fire Cost Recovery ( Restructured) - This is a proposed restructuring of the fees charged by the Fire Department in response to the fire and insurance industry' s change from allowing a flat fee for services to reimbursing costs based on itemized equipment used or destroyed during an incident. It is expected that these proposed itemized fees will result in higher collections and cost recovery for the City. The Fire Department is proposing a new format that allows for more itemized charges in five ( 5) general areas: i. Drill tower facilities use ii. Replacement equipment costs iii. Motor vehicle accident equipment use iv. Structure/vehicle/wild land fire equipment use v. Special responses RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Council approve Resolution 2006- 30 to make amendments to the Comprehensive Fees Schedule as submitted.
