Definitions. <br />For the purpose of this policy, the following definitions apply: <br />"Application Deposit" The amount estimated by the Planning Director using the <br />procedures defined in Section C of this Policy. <br />"Billable Hours" The total of regular time and overtime for Current Planning <br />minus costs which cannot be charged to specific applications, including: <br />vacation; sick leave; holidays; staff meetings; general staff training; and project <br />record keeping. <br />"Billing Rate" The general fund budgeted cost for Current Planning (account <br />number 150 - 63210) is calculated. From this is subtracted budgeted costs for <br />advertising (object code 33 in the City financial records), reimbursed professional <br />expenditures (object code 49) and for the Community Development Services <br />Manager. The resulting total is then divided by the number of Billable Hours. <br />This produces the Billing Rate that will be used by all City staff who spends time <br />reviewing projects. As of the date first written above, this calculation produced a <br />Billing Rate of $118.84 per hour. This amount will be adjusted at least annually <br />during the City Council review of the annual City budget. <br />Atty /Reso /Reso.1509 14622 <br />011305 3 Muff # 301 <br />
