BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Josh D.Peters,AICP,Community Development Director
Phil Cecere,Building Official/Fire Marshal
Greg Ballard,Development Code Administrator
Chelsea Pronovost,DCD Administrative Services Manager
DATE: August 5,2024
SUBJECT: WORKSHOP re: DCD fee schedule update& hearing notice approval
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
In a workshop with the Board of County Commissioners (Board) on July 22, 2024, Department of
Community Development(DCD)managers reported on the results of a study completed by FCS Group to
review DCD's permit review and processing fees. DCD now seeks to brief the Board on a proposed update
to DCD's building, fire, and land use fee schedules that incorporate FCS Group's recommended service rate
of$123.20 per hour. Adopting the recommended hourly rate would move the department to a model of
100%cost recovery for building permits, land use approvals, code compliance actions, and other related
cost-recoverable services. The proposed building, fire, and land use fee schedules are attached, along with
the current land use fee schedule for comparison.
Following the pattern of other county departments to move from codified fees in the Appendix of the
Jefferson County Code (JCC)to fees adopted by Board resolution,the proposed update to the DCD fee
schedules would be made effective by the Board's adoption of both an ordinance that amends the JCC to
move away from codified fees and a resolution to adopt updated fees, effective September 1, 2024. DCD is
collaborating with the Prosecuting Attorney's Office (PAO) on PAO approval as-to-form for those
instruments.
Through this Agenda Request, DCD seeks Board approval of a hearing notice to be published August 7 and
14 in the newspaper of record for a public hearing before the Board on August 19, 2024, at 2:00 PM. The
hearing will be on the proposed ordinance and proposed resolution affecting fees charged for DCD permits
and services. Those documents,which upon adoption would effectively supplant current fees with the
September 1, 2024 fee schedules attached, will be added to the Laserfiche folder referenced in the attached
hearing notice before publication in the newspaper of record.
ANALYSIS:
DCD seeks to brief the Board on options under consideration, including, "Imposing reasonable fees,
consistent with RCW 82.02.020, on applicants for permits or other governmental approvals to cover the cost
to the...county...of processing applications." [RCW 36.70B.160(1)(b)]
1
RCW 82.02.020 authorizes local governments to collect"reasonable fees" from permit applicants to "cover
the cost to the...county...of processing applications, inspecting and reviewing plans, or preparing detailed
statements required by chapter 43.21 C RCW [SEPAL."DCD maintains that the fees proposed in the
attached ordinance and resolution constitute reasonable fees, in that the fee levels are based on an hourly rate
that has been recommended through a fee study by a consultant group that specializes in analysis of local
government permit fees, and that the per-permit fees are based on average effort to process specific types of
permits from years of experience in processing permits.
Note that the level of effort—and thus the cost—of some permits on the land use fee schedule has been
adjusted downward. This is based on reconsideration of the level of effort needed to process those permit
types, based on experience over the last 1-2 years as a result of improvements in efficiency in the context of
regulatory reform(Board Resolution No. 17-19).
FISCAL IMPACT:
In order to achieve 100% cost recovery for cost-recoverable work, DCD proposes that an updated fee
schedule be adopted by the Board in August 2024, effective September 1, 2024. The updated fee schedule
represents 100% cost recovery for cost-recoverable services, based on the conclusions of the DCD fee study
completed by consultant FCS Group in 2024 and accounting for the 2024 wage tables in effect for
represented and non-represented DCD employees. A fee schedule that does not achieve 100% cost recovery
implies subsidy from the county's General Fund to operate DCD's building and land use permit program.
RECOMMENDATION:
Consider the DCD presentation. Ask any questions and express any concerns about the proposed fee
schedule update and corresponding (pending) ordinance and resolution. Approve the hearing notice so that
staff may submit by noon on Monday, August 5, 2024,to the newspaper of record a request to public the
notice on August 7 (and August 14).
