G-6402 Proposed User Fee Adjustments for 1
Recommendation•
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the ordinances and administrative
changes necessary to implement the proposed us er 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 Play, 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 M. 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.
