Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 6/6/2017 - Ordinance No. 22732-06-2017
DATE: Tuesday, June 6, 2017 REFERENCE NO.: **G-19012
LOG NAME: 06SPECIAL PURPOSE FUND
SUBJECT:
Adopt Ordinance Increasing Receipts and Appropriations in the Special Purpose Fund by $85,000.00,
Subject to Receipt of Funds to Make Upgrades to the Permitting and Development Process for the
Planning and Development Department (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance increasing receipts and
appropriations in the Developer Tech Improvements Project of the Special Purpose Fund by $85,000.00,
subject to receipt of funds, for the Planning and Development Department to make upgrades to the
permitting and development process.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to enact appropriations of an upgrade
fee previously authorized by the City Council.
In August 2016, the City Council adopted ordinances that adjusted development-related fees. (M&C G-
18805; Ordinances 22372-08-2016 & 22373-08-2016.) The adjustments, which were subject to extensive
stakeholder review and input prior to adoption, were intended to more fully offset City costs in processing
permit applications and undertaking other development-related activities.
One of the revisions was the adoption of a $5.00 fee applicable to certain types of permit applications, the
proceeds of which are dedicated to making improvements and upgrades to the permitting and
development process.
While this upgrade fee was effective with the beginning of the current fiscal year, it was not included in the
adopted budget appropriation. Now that Staff has several months of history for the fee, they are
recommending that the funds projected to be received during the current fiscal year be appropriated in the
Developer Tech Improvements Project of the Special Purpose Fund by adoption of the attached
ordinance.
Currently, this project has accumulated $50,629.00. The Planning and Development Department expects
to generate the difference before the end of the current fiscal year and will not expend more than the
$85,000.00 being appropriated.
On approval of this M&C, the upgrade fee revenues would be available for use by the Planning and
Development Department to undertake improvements and upgrades to the permitting and development
process in accordance with applicable state law and local ordinances governing procurement and
contracting.

FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the
attached ordinance, funds will be available in the current budget, as appropriated, of the Special Purpose
Fund.
