Home My WebLink About11B 2011 Fee Schedulei� PRI�� U 4646 Dakota Street SE Prior Lake, MN 55372 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT MEETING DATE: JANUARY 3, 2011 AGENDA #: 1113 PREPARED BY: JERILYN ERICKSON, FINANCE DIRECTOR PRESENTED BY: JERILYN ERICKSON AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE 2011 OFFICIAL CITY FEE SCHEDULE DISCUSSION: Introduction The purpose of this agenda item is to consider approval of the 2011 Official City Fee Schedule in accordance with the City Council's bylaws. The fee schedule identifies those types of service charges and license fees charged on a user basis to recover City- associated costs as directed by the City Council in an effort to reduce reliance upon the property tax. The intent is that the user who benefits should pay the ultimate cost of the service provided. Hi story Staff reviews the fee schedule as a part of the annual budget process and makes recommendations for changes or additions as needed. Current Circumstances Attached is the proposed 2011 Official City Fee Schedule that lists fees, service charges, escrows and securities. New fees (including fees that have historically been charged but haven't been reflected on the fee schedule) and proposed changes are indicated in the table below alongside their present amount (Please see the description of the changes following the table): ....................................................................................................................................... ...............................

Remove Explanation of Chances 1 - 2. Utility Connection Charges have been segregated into two components (sanitary sewer and water) for greater clarity. 3. Prepaid Card Initial /Replacement Fee is a new fee to cover the cost of issuing cards for bulk water purchases. 4. Late Fee for License Renewals is an existing fee and should be added to the Fee Schedule. 5 - 6. Body Art License Fee & Investigation Fee - Body Art should be removed. Ordinance 110 -06 was adopted on November 15, 2010 which rescinded section 309 of the Prior Lake City Code relating to body art establishments, effective December 31, 2010. 7. Solicitor's Permit fee should be removed from the Fee Schedule. The City does not collect a fee for solicitors. Individuals requesting a solicitor's permit are only required to register with the City. 8. Peddler's Permit is an existing fee and should be added to the Fee Schedule. This fee was previously referred to as a "Solicitor Permit" on the Fee Schedule. 2 9. Change of Occupancy Permit is an existing fee and should be added to the Fee Schedule. 10. Excavation and Grading Escrow for Residential > =1 Acre should be expanded to reflect a minimum fee of $250. This will provide greater incentive for property owners to comply with the required turf restoration versus walking away from the deposit. 11. Excavation and Grading Escrow for Commercial /Developers should be expanded to reflect a minimum fee of $250. This will provide greater incentive for property owners to comply with the required turf restoration versus walking away from the deposit. 12. Tree Deposit should be based on the number of inches of required replacement with the minimum set at $500 (current rate). This will provide greater incentive for property owners to replace the trees versus walking away from the deposit. 13. The MCES SAC (sewer availability charge) increase of $130 from $2,100 to $2,230 is required by the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services. The fee helps pay the capital costs of construction of the Metropolitan sewer interceptor system. This rate has increased incrementally by $50 -150 each year since its inception and will continue to increase over the next few years according to the Metropolitan Council. 14. Picnic Table Moves. Staff is recommending that the "cost per agreement" language be modified to reflect a $15 / table cost. 15. Barricades. Staff is recommending that this new fee be added to the Fee Schedule to reflect a portion of the cost of providing barricades to the public. 16. Garbage Barrels. Staff is recommending that this new fee be added to the Fee Schedule to reflect a portion of the cost of providing garbage barrels to the public. 17. Sr. Care Overlay District Fee should be removed. As part of the Zoning Ordinance update in 2009, the Sr. Care Overlay District was removed from the Zoning Ordinance. 18 - 20. Sign Permit (Permanent) should be segregated into two categories: 1) Single Tenant Buildings and 2) Multiple Tenant Buildings. Separating the two permit types allows for a higher fee for multiple tenant buildings to compensate for the fact that they take additional time since staff must reconcile the proposed signage with the signage that is currently on the building for other existing tenants. Staff reviewed the costs associated with issuing a sign permit and determined that our existing fee is often not sufficient to cover staff time. Other communities most commonly charge between $75 and $150 for a sign permit. 21. Sign Permit (Temporary). Staff is recommending that this fee be increased from $15 to $35 to cover the costs associated with issuing a sign permit. Temporary sign permits take approximately the same amount of time as a permanent sign permit and the increased cost would reflect that fact. 3 22. Tree Preservation Lot Deposit should be based on the number of inches of required replacement with the minimum set at $500 (current rate). 23. Zoning Verification Letter. Staff is recommending that this fee be increased from $10 to $35 to cover the costs associated with researching and preparing the Zoning Verification Letter. 24. Memorial Plaques. Staff is recommending that this fee be increased from $100 to $200 to reflect the increased costs associated with purchasing and installing the memorial plaques. 25 — 30. Memorial Benches. Staff is recommending that the types and styles of benches be limited to one versus the six that we currently offer. The cost associated with purchasing this one type of bench has increased; therefore, Staff is recommending that the fee be increased from $500 to $850 to cover the costs associated with purchasing and installing the memorial bench. Conclusion The changes approved by the City Council will be incorporated into the 2011 Official City Fee Schedule with an effective date of January 3, 2011. ISSUES: Prior Lake has a history of charging fees in proportion to City expenses for services for which a discrete benefactor can be identified. FINANCIAL The fee schedule identifies those types of service charges and license fees IMPACT: charged on a user basis to recover City- associated costs. ALTERNATIVES: The following alternatives are available to the City Council: 1. Approve the 2011 Official City Fee Schedule as presented 2. Approve the 2011 Official City Fee Schedule subject to specific Council amendments 3. Delay action if the Council requires additional information. RECOMMENDED Alternative #1 - Motion and second to adopt the 2011 Official City Fee MOTION: Schedule as proposed. 4 Page 1 of 4 04 Piu PROPOSED 2011 OFFICIAL FEE SCHEDULE City of Prior Lake �T'NSS� Current Charges DEVELOPMENT FEES: Park Dedication Fee Residential 3750.00 /unit Commercial/industrial 6400.00 /ac.
