Home My WebLink About112315_ra03JEFFERSON COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AGENDA REQUEST TO: Board of County Commissioners Philip Morley, County Administrator FROM: David Goldsmith, Interim Director Jodi Adams, Office Coordinator DATE: November 23, 2015 SUBJECT: Public Hearing on proposed DCD fee schedule, deliberations and decision STATEMENT OF ISSUE: An Ordinance amending the Department of Community Development fee schedule for development review activities presented at a briefing and public hearing before the Board of County Commissioners on November 2, 2015. Commissioners may take action by adopting the proposed ordinance as proposed or with amendments, or reject the ordinance. ANALYSIS: The proposed fees are intended to recover costs associated with of development review activity by the Building and Development Review Divisions. The fee amendment is based on an updated hourly rate for staff time spent on review activities. This hourly rate was derived by dividing the costs (including administration and overhead) of the Building an Development Review Divisions by the billable hours of staff in these Divisions to recover those costs. This hourly rate will be re-evaluated each year using a three year average of upcoming budget year and two prior year actuals. FISCAL IMPACT/COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS: The adopted Community Development Budget for 2016 does not anticipates revenues based upon updated fees and an increased hourly rate. A five year projections shows that DCD is not able to sustain itself with the loss of grant funding 2016. if fees are not updated to achieve full cost recovery, the current level of service to do permit review within the Building and Development Review Divisions would require a subsidy from the County's General Fund. RECOMMENDATION: Staff requests that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the recommended fee ordinance as proposed.
