Subject:
1073
During the August 6, 1985, Mork Session, M&C G-6402 on Proposed User Fee Ad-
justments was presented to City Council for review. This Informal Report has
been prepared to answer questions regarding the nature of services for which
certain proposed fees are charged and the methodology employed in estimating
the proposed fees.
Frozen Dessert Machine
Proposed fee is based upon 100 percent cost recovery. Time required by
inspectors is less than originally expected. Projected revenue loss is
$4,800.
Child Care Facility Inspection
Proposed fee is based upon 100 percent cost recovery. The Health Depart-
ment performs inspections of all sanitary items for Texas Department of
Human Resources licensure, including kitchen, sewer, safety, playground,
and other sanitary facilities.
Private School Inspection
Proposed fee is based upon 100 percent cost recovery. Inspection of kit-
chen facilities is included. Public schools are traditionally inspected
by FWISD inspectors.
Day Care Training Certification
Fee is for certification to work in a Day Care facility. The Health
Department and the Texas Department of Human Resources collaborate in
offering a two-hour course for day care workers to help employees meet
TDHR requirements.
Food Manager Training Certification
Fee is for certification to work as a food manager. Food manager certi-
fication requires completion of a 16-hour course and is valid for three
years.
Plan Review Fees
Proposed fee is based upon 100 percent cost recovery. Plan review re-
quires office review of plans, construction recommendations, site inspec-
tions, and final inspection upon completion of construction. Fee scale
is designed to provide a fair rate of fee escalation according to size of
proposed facility. Plan review helps to prevent design error which might
require costly rio(lif i cations to meet health codes. This is a one-time
charcie.

Hotel/Motel Plan Review
Proposed fee is based upon 100 percent cost recovery. Plan review in-
cludes review of sanitation, sewer and water facility elements of
hotels/motels. This is a one-time charge.
Day Care Plan Review
Proposed fee is based upon 100 percent cost recovery. Plan review in-
cludes review of sanitation, waste and water facility elements of the day
care center.
Accident Report Fees
Proposed fee is based upon 100 percent cost recovery. (See attached
David fl. (;riffith and Associates recommendation.)
Tennis Center Daytime/Player and Nightime/Player Fees
Diminishing difference between nighttime and daytime fees per person is
attributable to significantly greater proportion of doubles matches
played at night. Staff recommends a maximum nighttime fee increase to
$2.00 in order to remain competitive with other area tennis facilities.
This fee will not affect the City's 22 lighted courts and 28 unlighted
courts at other locations where no fee is charged.
Individual Tennis Permit and Annual Tennis Permit
These permits have not received the public acceptance originally antici-
pated. Should these permits be continued, staff would recommend
increasing the charge for the Individual Permit to $100 and for the An-
nual Permit to $150.
Host of these proposed fee increases are based on 100 percent recovery of ac-
tual costs as calculated by the consultants. The Council may wish to adjust
all or some of these fees to a cost recovery ratio of less than 100 percent.
Appropriate staff will be available to provide additional information on any
of these fee proposals.
