Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council approve adoption of 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,
198?_, to conduct a City-wide analysis of user fees and service charges. The
consultant's approach to the fee study was to compare the total actual costs of
providing certain services with the total revenues derived from the user charges
associated with those services. The consultant also was to show how these user
charges could he adjusted to produce adequate revenue to cover total costs.
The proper setting of user fee rates is important for two reasons• (a) user
fee-derived revenue helps to diversify the City's revenue base, thereby reducing
dependency on the property tax, and (h) user fee financing is a more equitable
way to pay for services which benefit only a select clientele, if user fees for
these services do not fully cover costs, then these services are, in essence,
subsidized by the general taxpayer.
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. Prior to
presenting these recommendations to City Council for approval, all affected
departments were consulted for guidance and assistance in developing these
proposed fee adjustments. Plarket conditions were considered as were equity and
uniformity of fee structures in the final fee recommendations.
