Adopt the identified fee adjustments for the Aviation Department, Planning and Development Department, and Park and Recreation Department, for Fiscal Year 2020; 2. Adopt the attached ordinance revising fees in Article XII, Fee Schedules of Chapter 2 Administration of the Code of the City of Fort Worth relating to development, zoning and platting applications; 3. Authorize fee modifications to respond to market demands for the Park and Recreation Department for marketing, promotional and educational purposes; and 4. Formally designate the departments and personnel that are routinely tasked with collecting fees and issuing licenses to act as agents of the Financial Management Services Department. DISCUSSION: The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to take action in connection with adjusting fees that will apply to various City services during Fiscal Year 2020 (FY2020) and document compliance with the City Charter in connection with collecting fees and issuing licenses, as applicable. A variety of fees apply to City services that range from renting out the soccer fields to lease fees for facilities at the City's airports. Many of the fees are set out in state law or in the City Code. However, in several provisions of the City Code, fees are defined as being in the amount set by City Council. Approval of this M&C authorizes adjustments for Fiscal Year 2020 to fees that are not established by other law. In addition, this M&C would approve the ordinance revising fees in Article XI I: Fee Schedules, Chapter 2: Administration of the Code of the City of Fort Worth relating to development, zoning and platting applications. All other fees would remain in effect at their last -adopted rate as set by state law, City ordinance, or prior City Council action, as applicable. The proposed fees were used in crafting revenue projections for the development of the Fiscal Year 2020 budget and include the following fee adjustments: MUNICIPAL AIRPORT FUND - Aviation Department Fee Title New Fee Amount Description of Change Meacham T-Hangar (907 so $425.00 Increase of $25 Per Month Meacham T-Hangar (983 so $430.00 Increase of $25 Per Month Meacham T-Hangar (997 sf) $430.00 Increase of $25 Per Month Spinks T-Hangar (858 sf) $325.00 Increase of $25 Per Month Spinks T-Hangar (1,008 sf) $350.00 Increase of $25 Per Month Spinks T-Hangar (1,110 sf) $400.00 Increase of $25 Per Month Spinks T-Hangar (1,386 sf) $475.00 Increase of $75 Per Month Spinks T-Hangar (1,650 sf) $500.00 Increase of $75 Per Month Spinks T-Hangar (1,698 sf) $525.00 Increase of $75 Per Month Spinks Box -Hangar (3,000 sf) $950.00 Increase of $50 Per Month Spinks Box -Hangar (3,600 sf) $1,250.00 Increase of $250 Per Month Spinks Box -Hangar (6,600 sf) $2,100.00 Increase of $250 Per Month Spinks Community -Hangar (Single Engine piston) $225.00 Increase of $25 Per Month Meacham Administration Building Fee for Lower Level $14.50 Increase of $0.5 Per Square Feet Meacham Administration Building Fee for First Floor $16.50 Increase of $0.5 Per Square Feet Meacham Administration Building Fee for Second Floor $17.50 Increase of $0.5 Per Square Feet Meacham Administration Building Fee for Third Floor $18.50 Increase of $0.5 Per Square Feet Meacham Administration Building Fee for FBO Space $22.50 Increase of $0.5 Per Square Feet Alliance Ground Lease $0.49 Increase of $0.03 Per Square Feet Meacham Ground Lease $0.47 Increase of $0.02 Per Square Feet Spinks West Side Ground Lease $0.31 Increase of $0.01 Per Square Feet Spinks East Side Ground Lease $0.31 Increase of $0.02 Per SquareFeet Fuel Flowage Fee (FBO) $0.18 Increase of $0.02 Per Gallon Fuel Flowage Fee (non-FBO) $0.29 Increase of $0.02 Per Gallon Gate Card New $20.00 New Fee Gate Card Replacement $25.00 New Fee Lease Violation Fee for First Violation $35.00 New Fee Lease Violation Fee for Second Violation $70.00 New Fee Lease Violation Fee for Third Violation $105.00 New Fee Regulated Trash Handling/Disposal for First Bag $200.00 New Fee Regulated Trash Handling/Disposal for Additional Bags $50.00 New Fee Lease Fee (Month -to -Month Fee) 10% of Monthly Correction to $10 Rate MUNICIPAL GOLF FUND - Park & Recreation Department Fee Title New Fee Description of Change Amount Junior (<17 yrs.)

Approval of the third recommendation authorizes the Park and Recreation Director or their designee, directly or in connection with non-profit support groups, to adjust or waive fees in response to market demands such as seasonal, weather -related, and facility condition -driven factors; customer service resolutions; memberships; advertising opportunities; special marketing promotions; and educational purposes. The maximum amount of fees for all of these facilities will continue to be capped at those amounts previously approved by the City Council. The cumulative impact of the fee modifications shall not negatively impact by more than 10% the annual fee revenue projections for the Park and Recreation Department. Finally, approval of this M&C will also officially designate other personnel and departments as acting on behalf of the Financial Management Services (FMS) Department in collecting those fees and issuing licenses, as applicable. The City Charter charges the City's Finance Department "with the administration of the financial affairs of the city, including the keeping and supervision of all accounts ... [and] the issuance of licenses and the collection of license fees ....". As the City has grown over the years, responsibilities for issuing licenses and collecting fees became decentralized, with various departments and personnel being assigned as reflected in the City's revenue manual. In connection with the adoption of the Fiscal Year 2016 budget, the City Council approved M&C G-18545 (September 15, 2015), which formally designated the assigned personnel and departments to act on behalf of FMS in collecting fees and issuing licenses, where applicable. Adoption of the current M&C continues that designation through Fiscal Year 2020. This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity. A Form 1295 is not required for this contract because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity. FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations, the participating departments are responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due to the City.
