DATE REFERENCE NUMBER SUBJECT PAGE 8/6.j85 G-6402 Proposed User Fee Adjustments ,o, 1 Recommendation• It is recommended that the City Council adopt the ordinances and administrative changes necessary to implement the proposed user fee adjustments as presented in Attachment I. Background. The City contracted with David M. Griffith and Associates, Ltd, in November 1982 to conduct a City-wide analysis of user fees and service charges, This process proved to be beneficial in identifying the actual costs of providing services and and comparing these costs with the amount of revenue collected as payment for these services. The City used the results of this study to adjust fee schedules so that a specified percentage of costs could be recovered. In May, 1983, (M&C G-5621), the City Council adjusted more than one hundred fees. In November 1983, the City entered into a three-year contract with David P~. Griffith and Associates, Ltd. to update this City-wide user fee study. Each year, program costs and estimated revenue from user fees are analyzed to determine if the City is maintaining its cost recovery percentages that were established in 1982-83. For those services where revenue generation is not keeping pace with actual costs, fee adjustments are recommended. Prior to presenting these recommendations to the City Council for approval, all affected departments were consulted for guidance and assistance in developing these proposed fee adjustments. p~p~R~VED BY QTY C~~~ClL At; ~ ~!a S~ u5 City Seoseta>:y of the City of P.aA SUBMITTED FOR TH CITY MANAGER'S ~ DISPOSITION BY COUNCIL.
