Home My WebLink AboutFS 2014-10-21 Item 2A - Resolution - 2015 Permit Fee ScheduleTO: City of Tukwila Jim Haggerton, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM Mayor Haggerton Finance and Safety Committee FROM: Jack Pace, DCD Director BY: Nora Gierloff, Deputy DCD Director DATE: October 15, 2014 SUBJECT: Updated DCD and PW Permit Fees ISSUE Should Tukwila increase its land use permit fees and hourly inspection rates to reflect increased costs to provide this service? BACKGROUND Salaries for represented employees will increase in 2015 by 90% of the increase in CPI_W (June) 2013-14. The CPI-W for that period is 2.2% so 90% of that is an increase of 2%. ANALYSIS Staff is suggesting that the flat land use fees and hourly inspection rates increase at the rate of the City's labor costs. Most other permit fees are based on the valuation of the work which itself reflects inflation so no adjustment is needed for Public Works or the majority of Building Department fees at this time. We are proposing to increase the structural plan review fee from 33% to 35% of the non-structural fee to account for rising costs for this service that the City contracts out to a consultant and passes through to the applicant. New fees have been added for permits related to the new TUC zoning district. A reduced fee is proposed for sensitive area buffer modifications on single family parcels. We hope that this will encourage greater compliance with environmental regulations, especially when part of a code enforcement action. See the separate staff report and ordinance amending Title 16 for a discussion of the proposed new fees for minor residential remodels and final inspections for expired permits. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Committee forward the resolution to the October 27th Committee of the Whole and November 3rd Regular meeting for action.
