Samantha Orduno, City Administrator, reviewed Staff Report No. <br />92-283C regarding Resolution No. 4235 Amending Resolution No. <br />4099 Establishing a Uniform Schedule of Fees and Charges. Orduno <br />explained that two months ago, portions of the City~s schedule of <br />permit and license fees were increased to reflect increased costs <br />incurred by the City and competitive market rates. At the time <br />the Council adopted the amended fee schedule, staff noted that <br />other fees were being examined and would be brought to Council for <br />approval within the next two months. Orduno stated that the <br />adjustments that are proposed are consistent with increased City <br />processing costs and are also consistent with market rates in the <br />Metro area. <br />MOTION/SECOND: Blanchard/Rickaby to adopt Resolution No. 4230 Amending <br />• Resolution No. 4099 Establishing a Uniform Schedule of Fees and Charges <br />VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried <br />8. Don Brager, Finance Director, reviewed Staff Report No. 92-284C <br />regarding the Water Connection Surcharge. Brager stated that recently <br />passed legislation authorizes the Department of Health to assess an <br />annual fee of $5.21 for every service connection to a public water <br />supply that is owned or operated by a city, town or water district. <br />This water connection surcharge is to pay for state water supply <br />testing. Brager further stated that the operator is required to collect <br />the fees and to pay the State on a quarterly basis. The first payment <br />would be due September of 1992. <br />Brager recommended that this money be collected on a quarterly basis <br />and that Council consider adding a 10~ administrative fee to defray the <br />expense of adding this charge to the computer system and the ongoing <br />costs of billing for it. On a quarterly basis the additional amount <br />which would be billed would be $1.43. <br />Rickaby stated that when the street light utility was discussed we have <br />minimized the cost of putting it on the billing because we already bill <br />people. Because this was mandated by state this would then cost a Iot <br />more than something the City processes do. <br />Mayor Linke stated that it would cost $1500 more or less. This would <br />be the cost to the City for bookkeeping and keeping track of these <br />dollars and then sending a check to the state. This would be more <br />
