AGENDA REQUEST

G/P/18/
FROM: Mark McCauley—Central Service rector
Jodi Adams—Community Dev opment Permit Manager
DATE: June 25,2018
SUBJECT: Board of County Commissioner consideration of a Proposed Ordinance amending
Jefferson County Code FEE APPENDIX to add a 5%technology fee to certain
Community Development and Public Works fees.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: At their regularly scheduled afternoon meeting on Monday, April
30, 2018, the Board met with county staff to discuss replacing our legacy permit system
(Tidemark) and a proposed 5%technology fee to be applied to certain Community Development
and Public Works fees, effective July 1, 2018. The purpose of the 5%technology fee is to
provide funding for annual maintenance and eventual replacement of the new permit system.
Staff submitted a hearing notice which was approved by the Board of County Commissioners on
the Consent Agenda on June 4, 2018 and advertised in The Port Townsend Leader on June 13
and 20, 2018.
ANALYSIS: Approving the 5%technology fee will provide a long-term sustainable funding
model for technology related to fees charged by various county departments. The county will be
able to keep pace with technological change for the benefit of its citizens.
FISCAL IMPACT: The 5%technology fee will fund annual maintenance costs and eventual
technology replacement costs associated with the new permit system software.
RECOMMENDATION: Central Services, Community Development and Public Works
recommend the Board adopt the attached ordinance amending the Jefferson County Code FEE
APPENDIX to add a 5%technology fee to select Community Development and Public Works
fees.
