Prior Lake, MN 55372-1714 STAFF AGENDA REPORT MEETING DATE AGENDA #: PREPARED BY: AGENDA ITEM: JANUARY 5, 2004 SA RALPH TESCHNER, FINANCE DIRECTOR PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 106 OF PRIOR LAKE CITY CODE PROVIDING FOR ADOPTION OF AN OFFICIAL FEE SCHEDULE DISCUSSION: Introduction: The purpose of this agenda item is to consider approval of an ordinance that would adopt by reference the City's official fee schedule. The fee schedule identifies those types of service charges and permissible license fees that may be 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. Current Circumstances: New legislation that became effective in April 2003 requires that cities must adopt their planning and zoning fees by ordinance. Since our "Official Fee Schedule" includes a subsection of planning and zoning fees it would seem appropriate to adopt the entire fee schedule. Therefore the ordinance has been drafted to approve the City of Prior Lake Official Fee Schedule by reference. Attached is the proposed 2004 City of Prior Lake Official Fee Schedule that lists all license fees and service charges. Fees proposed for increase are indicated in the table below alongside their present amount: Fee Description 2003 Amount 2004 Amount 1. Un-assessed parcel water rate/ff $20.00 $50.00 2. Un-assessed parcel sewer rate/ff $40.00 $70.00 3. Trunk water charge/acre $1,750.00 $2,217.00 4. Trunk sewer charge/acre $1,750.00 $4,913.00 5. Bulk water rate per 1,000 gals. N/a $5.00 6.

Wetland marker sign N/a $5.00 The Water and Sewer Rates for Un-assessed Parcels have not been adjusted since established some 20 years ago. This rate is primarily used for parcels that connect to the city's municipal system when utilities become incidentally available but have not been assessed. The city experiences very few of these connections however Engineering recommends updating the water rate to $50.00/ff and the sewer rate to $70.00/ff based upon cun-ent construction costs. Trunk Water and Sewer Acreage charges have not been changed since 1995. Bonestroo has recently completed a Sanitary Sewer Study that includes the annexed area and in order to finance the sanitary sewer trunks detailed in this plan the trunk sewer area charge needs to be increased to $4913/acre. The water trunk acreage charge has remained the same since 1995. The Council has approved a rate study, as part of the Comprehensive Water Plan Update, to analyze our utility water and sewer rates as well as determine the appropriate trunk water acreage charge at build-out. To provide an interim water trunk acreage charge, Staff would recommend that our CUlTent trunk water charge of $1750/acre be increased 3% annually (1996-2003) to $2,2l7/acre. In light of this study, both fees should be considered interim until the study is completed. Contractors routinely request filling of bulk tank trunks for watering street boulevards. A meter is affixed to a hydrant at the Maintenance Building to avoid any water disturbance in residential areas. Staff is requesting that a Bulk Water Rate charge of $5.00/1000 gals. be implemented. This will be the first time this charge will be implemented. The Impoundment fine (1st unlicensed offense) for dogs is recommended to be increased. Impoundment for licensed dogs is $25, $50 and $100 for the first, second and third impoundment respectively. For unlicensed dogs the first impoundment would double to $50 and subsequent impoundments would remain the same. H: \AGENDA \Agendafeeschedule.doc Members of the AMM, LMC and State Building Codes and Standards Division developed a sample Building Permit fee schedule cooperatively in 2003 in an effort to provide a consistent fee schedule those cities may use as a guide in setting local building permit fees. The fee schedule was endorsed by 20-some city representatives in an effort to provide consistent fees within the metropolitan area and because the cunent fee schedule associated with the 1997 UBC has not been updated. The new schedule represents a 6% increase from the 1997 UBC building pennit fee schedule. Staff has taken the initiative to notify the building contractors that the City Council would be considering the new schedule at this meeting so that they would have adequate time in developing their cost estimates ahead of time for home construction bids. The MCES sac charge increase of $75.00 from $1275 to $1350 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 $50-75 each year for the past 15-20 years. Boat Trailer Parking and Daily Admission at Sand Point Beach have not been increased for the past 7 years and the fees should be increased by $5 to $15 and by $1 to $5.00 per day respectively. In addition, the Park Season Stickers for both residents and non- residents should be increased to $25.00/$35.00. Based upon the recommendation of the Parks Advisory Board the Skate Park fees have been re-structured to reduce the daily admission fee from $3 to $2 and to replace the old season pass with a pre-paid admission punch card that would allow for either 5 or 10 visits at a cost of $S or $15. Also a $10 seasonal membership requirement for non-residents is proposed. These cuts are intended to encourage skate park usage. Due to the time invested by the DRC (Development Review Committee) in reviewing development concept plans, the Planning Department has proposed a Concept Plan fee of $200.00 to be charged to recover city time spent meeting with owners and developers. Also from a cost recovery standpoint, Staff would recommend establishing a Facade Improvement Application Fee of $250.00 to cover the administration of the grant program. Our cunent flat fee charge for Aerial Maps of $5 is proposed to be tiered at $5/$10/$15 for small, regular and large size aerial maps. Similarly the $1 City Map charge should be $1/$5/$10 depending upon the size. The range for Topo Map charges is proposed to be $10/$15/$25 for small, regular and large size topos. ALTERNATIVES RECOMMENDED MOTION: REVIEWED BY: Attachments: H :\AGENDA \Agendafeeschedule.doc Because of the cost associated with creating GIS data in a CD-rom fonnat the following GIS fees are recommended: a) Planimetric data - $12/acre b) Parcel data - $.05/parcel c) Custom data - $50.00/1n". Engineering is going to require that wetlands and ponding areas within development proposals that the city controls be marked by Wetland Marker Signs at a cost of $5 so that the public is aware of these areas and are not to alter theIr physical characteristics. With the adjustments proposed, all city fees will be fairly typical and fall in the range of what other cities charge according to the most recent Association of Metropolitan Cities' "Municipal License & Permit Fee Survey" conducted every two years. The following alternatives are available to the City Council: 1. Approve An Ordinance Amending Section I 06 Of Prior Lake City Code Providing For Adoption Of An Official Fee Schedule as presented. 2. Approve An Ordinance Amending Section I 06 Of Prior Lake City Code Providing For Adoption Of An Official Fee Schedule subject to specific Council amendments. 3. Delay action on the ordinance if the Council requires additional information.
