Recommended action

Body
ANALYSIS:
In July 2015, the City's consultant, Revenue Cost Specialists, completed a "Fee Study Update," which analyzed the City's estimated cost to provide the services for which the fees are imposed and formed the basis for any recommended changes in the City's Master Fee Schedule. The Fee Schedule was originally approved by the City Council in September 2015. Since that time, there have been multiple department specific revisions with the most recent changes by Library and Recreation Services in May 2018.
The Community Development Department now desires to reduce three current building related fees based on revised estimates of the time involved in the process and industry changes.
Below is a summary of the proposed revisions to the building related fees:
