Home My WebLink About5B - 1996 Fee Schedule CONSENT AGENDA #: 5 (b) PREPARED BY: RALPH TESCHNER, FINANCE DIRECTOR SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF 1996 FEE SCHEDULE DATE: JANUARY 2, 1996 INTRODUCTION: The purpose for this agenda item is to consider Council approval of the 1996 City of Prior Lake Fee Schedule. The City's SAC and WAC fees plus the park support fee are the only building permit related fees proposed to be increased other than the MWCC's SAC charge. Attached for Council information is a table illustrating how our development related fees compare overall with the average contained in the most recent available Association of Metropolitan Municipalities Municipal License and Permit Survey (1995 edition). Also included is a survey of developing communities on park fees which staff conducted. DISCUSSION: Outlined below are those development related fees and their recommended amounts for 1996. Each represent dedicated funds separate from the General Fund and outside the scope of the 1996 Operating Budget revenues: Fee Description Trunk Acreage Fee Collector Acreage Fee Collector Street Fee MWCC SAC City SAC City WAC Water Tower Fee Park Support Fee Park Dedication Acreage Fee (n/c - no change) effective 3/1196 1995 Amount $3,500.00 $1,500.00 $400.00 $850.00 $500.00 $500.00 $700.00 $750.00 $1,200.00 1996 Amount $3,500.00 n/c $1,500.00 n/c $400.00 n/c $900.00* $600.00 $600.00 $700.00 n/c $850.00 $1,300.00 If these proposed charges were implemented they would increase the single family building permit fee for a $100,000 house from approximately $5354 to $5704 (excluding the retainer amount of $1500 that is normally refunded). This represents an increase of 6.5% which is virtually the same as the City's 6.2% operating budget increase for 1996. This is consistent with the Council position that the cost for community development be borne, to the extent possible, by new residents. Attached is the proposed 1996 Fee Schedule which lists all license fees and service charges. Fees identified to increase or which represent new fees are indicated in bold alongside their present amount. In addition to the above list, the remaining fee changes and new fee charges are identified in the list below: 16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph.

Building Official Gary Staber has recommended the conversion of our plumbing and mechanical permit charges from a per fixture method to a flat fee basis. This would streamline the calculation process and promote efficiency in the issuance of such permits. The proposed figures are based upon an average of the plumbing and heating permits issued over the past year so overall revenue would not change very much. There will be some shifting of the cost distribution to permits with fewer fixtures. The Planning Department has determined through the use of surveys and calls that our fees as recommended with respect to zoning and subdivision issues are very comparable with other cities. The new fees are for those reviews that are fairly time consuming. Staff feels it is appropriate to reimburse such costs and is consistent with the Council perspective that costs associated with development be recovered. Since the majority of the larger increases affect the building permit cost, a letter was sent to contractors, which do business in the community, informing them that these proposed changes would be discussed by the Council on January 2nd. The City SAC and WAC charges along with the MWCC SAC charge are implemented by ordinance within the Prior Lake City Code. Therefore it is necessary to approve an ordinance amendment to effect their respective increases. Such ordinance has been prepared for your review as the next scheduled item on this agenda which also includes the new 1996 water and sewer rates. ALTERNATIVES: The following alternatives are available to the City Council: 1. Adopt the 1996 Fee Schedule as part of the consent agenda if no one in the audience desires to comment on the proposed fees. 2. Approve the 1996 Fee Schedule subject to any specific Council amendments, after removing the item from the consent agenda for further discussion. 3. Delay action on the Fee Schedule if additional information is required by the Council. RECOMMENDATION: Staff would recommend that the City Council approve either Alternate #1 or #2 with respect to the proposed 1996 Fee Schedule at this time so that the above referenced changes may be applied effective on January 1, 1996. The exception are those fees changed by ordinance which shall become effective following date of publication (118/96).
