Ordinance O-2002-20
REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION

ORDINANCE: O-2002-20

SUBJECT: Ordinance for the establishment of processing fees for License Agreements, Easements and other uses of City Property

ADDRESS: City wide.

RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Ordinance.

FUNDING SOURCE: New fees.

SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
As part of the City's ongoing efforts to reduce expenses, increase revenues and recover expenses wherever possible, the Property Management Division has identified three specific areas where the costs to process certain requests for use of City property are not recovered. The fees would be intended to offset costs to process an application for a private party or other entity to use City-owned real property for such things as (1) License Agreements, (2) Easements or (3) other uses of City-owned real property. The purpose of the ordinance is to have the person or entity that benefits from the specific request to bear the cost for the City to process and administer the request instead of having the taxpayers at large pay these costs. These fees would be similar in nature to those charged by the City for land use and building permit applications. The fees would be based upon the time typically spent on processing or administering these requests. The fees would be collected up front, non-refundable and applied regardless of whether the request is approved or denied. The Ordinance would modify the Municipal Code to allow these fees to be collected and a separate resolution would be presented to City Council at the time of the second reading of the ordinance to set the actual fee amounts once the ordinance becomes effective.
