body
DEPARTMENT: PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
ORIGINATOR: JULIE MASS
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approve-Ken Klein, 07/29/21
PURPOSE: To update miscellaneous fees SCC 30.86 and SCC 13.110 to adjust for inflation, as Phase II in updating permitting fees.
BACKGROUND: Chapter 30.86 SCC establishes the permit fees required to be paid by applicants to cover the cost of administering title 30 SCC. Most permit fees in SCC 30.86 have not been adjusted in several years (in most cases over 20 years). Fees in SCC 13.110 for Type D Utiity and Right of Way permits administered by PDS have not been updated in 20 years. Periodic adjustments are needed to maintain financial self-sufficiency in providing permitting services and keep pace with inflation. PDS is facing budget deficits of around $3 million annually. To help close the expected budget gap, PDS is proposing to amend several miscellaneous permit fees where the updated cost model (established hourly rates for services) can be applied to estimated time spent processing those permits to establish a reasonable fee that provides for better cost recovery.
