PRESENTATIONS FROM THE FLOOR <br /> Kathy Evans, resident, addressed Council. She requested Council consideration of <br /> agendizing at a future meeting, discussion of the annual Westwind Barn Hoedown <br /> currently scheduled for September, 2008. <br /> PUBLIC HEARINGS <br /> 15. Review and Approval of Revised Schedule of Fees, Deposits, Charges for Services <br /> and Other Assessments <br /> Finance Director Nick Pegueros introduced the item to Council. The proposed fee <br /> schedule incorporated two substantive changes. First, an adjustment to fees for fiscal year <br /> 2009 for increased employee costs.. The budget to be considered as Agenda Item #16 <br /> anticipated a 2.8% increase based on the CPI. With fees for services based on the <br /> employee costs, all fees had been increased by 2.8% and rounded to the nearest increment <br /> of 5 to maintain round numbers. Second, a realignment of the roadway impact fee. <br /> Pegueros noted that an analysis of traffic studies, permit activity and expenditure history <br /> had been performed by Matrix consulting. Based on their findings, they recommended <br /> the following realignment.to the roadway impact fee: (1) For building permits, the <br /> roadway impact fee would increase from 0.68% to 0.93% for the building permits with a <br /> project valuation over $10,000; and, (2) for garbage customers, the roadway impact fee <br /> would decrease from$3.35 per month to $1.77 per month. The savings would be passed <br /> through to customers. <br /> Pegueros noted that the proposed fees increases were projected to increase revenues by <br /> $30,000. The additional revenue had been included in the proposed Operating and <br /> Capital Improvement Program Budget for fiscal year 2008-2009. <br /> Council discussion ensued. It was noted that a fee study had been completed in May <br /> 2007 and that most agencies given the complexity of the studies conduct them every three <br /> to five years with annual increases tied to changes in salaries and benefits. Fees may not <br /> exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee is <br /> charged. <br /> OPENED PUBLIC HEARING <br /> No Comments <br /> CLOSED PUBLIC HEARING <br /> MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Mordo, seconded by O'Malley and <br /> passed unanimously to approve Resolution No. 37-08 "Adopting a Revised Fee Schedule <br /> to be Effective on August 15, 2008" <br /> Councilmember Kerr joined the Council on the dais at 7:55 p.m. <br /> 5 Special City Council Meeting Minutes <br /> June 11,2008 <br />
