DISCUSSION
During the budget study sessions with the City Council, City staff recommended
adjustments to certain current fee structures and the imposition of fees in same
areas where none are now charged. The net effect of these increases is projected
to be $49,100 for fiscal year 1986-87.
Ns a basis f or these fee adjustments, City staff referred to the recently
completed update of the City-wide user fee analysis that was conducted by David
P1. Griffith and Associates, Ltd. This study determines the cost recovery rati o
in various fee areas. After consultation with affected departments regarding
these proposed fee adjustments, the fee areas below were brought to the Council
for discussion.
Health Fees
The City currently charges $4 for the issuance of the food handler card. The
staff recommends increasing this fee t o $8. This action will require amendment
of Secti on 16-112 of the City Code.
Housing and Human Services (Consumer Affairs Division).
Currently no fee is assessed by the City t o businesses who use weighing and/or
measuring devices to offset the cost of inspection of these devices by the
Consumer Affairs Division. It is recommended that a $10 per year per device as a
registration fee f or these devices. The same fee will be charged for
registering taxicabs, to offset the cost of inspection of taxi meters.
