Given the City’s goal to provide financially sustainable government services long-term, <br />fee modifications are proposed at full cost-recovery levels for most City Clerk, Finance, <br />and Public Works Services activities. The slight over-recovery for Public Works is the <br />result of a fee increase for the Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Stations. EV Charging <br />Stations’ hourly rates are similar to parking meter rates and are not subject to user fee <br />regulations. <br /> <br />Rental rates for Library and PRCS are not based on the cost of the service, but rather <br />based upon the market value of those facilities, as the market value compares rental <br />rates of similar types of facilities within the same geographic area. As a result, the <br />recommended PRCS cost recovery level is above 100 percent because it is aligned with <br />market rates as compared to surrounding jurisdictions. <br /> <br />If the recommended changes are adopted by the City Council, and current activity levels <br />continue, the new fees would generate approximately $59,000 to the City’s General <br />Fund, and $2,500 to other funds. The potential revenue offset is illustrated in the below <br />chart. <br /> <br />Department/ <br />Division <br />Current <br />Revenue <br />Full Cost of <br />Services <br />Potential <br />Revenue <br />Increase <br />Proposed Cost <br />Recovery <br />City Clerk & <br />Finance $4,451 $6,567 $2,042 99% <br />Library $33,457 $243,028 $12,732 19% <br />PRCS $288,467 $252,142 $44,065 132% <br />TOTAL <br />General Fund $326,375 $501,737 $58,839 77% <br /> <br />Public Works <br />Services $185,344 $186,344 $2,533 101% <br />TOTAL <br />Other Funds $185,344 $186,344 $2,533 101% <br /> <br />The proposed fees reflecting the recommended changes are included in Attachment 2. <br />A detailed comparison of the full cost of providing services, and current and proposed <br />fees for each department/division are included in Attachment 3. <br /> <br />City Clerk and Finance Fees <br />7.A. - Page 4
