Consideration for additional NPDES activities that go beyond the immediate <br /> downtown areas such as for sidewalks. <br /> M/S Hartnett/Howard to adopt the NPDES funding for making street sweeping <br /> more effective and efficient; and additional signage funding recommendations. <br /> Approval to apply solely to the current fiscal year. The motion passed by a <br /> unanimous voice vote. MINUTE ORDER 05-190 <br /> 7. PUBLIC HEARINGS <br /> A. Building Permit Fees <br /> Chief Building Official La Torra gave the report stating that the fees have not <br /> changed since 1996 and that a study of the fees shows that the current fees do <br /> not cover the cost of providing current services. He reported on the fees <br /> proposed to increase in the areas of plan checking, storm water protection <br /> inspection, and in the general fee schedule. The Council sub-committee has also <br /> approved these recommendations that represent an approximate 14% increase <br /> in building permit fees. The increase will not exceed the cost of providing the <br /> service. The draft report has been available to the public and notice duly <br /> published for the public hearing. He further stated that a recommendation in the <br /> fee study was that a master fee schedule be developed and a provision to adjust <br /> fees on an annual basis be approved. <br /> Mayor Ira opened the public hearing. <br /> Public Comment: <br /> Daniella Gasparini, San Mateo County/Redwood City Chamber of <br /> Commerce, Economic Committee Member, stated appreciation for the <br /> City informing the Chamber on such matters and the reasoning behind the <br /> increases as it does affect the businesses. <br /> Council commended staff for working with the Chamber and using the <br /> process of the Coro Fellows study. <br /> Recommendation: <br /> M/S Howard/Bain to adopt the Fee Schedule for Building and Miscetlaneous <br /> Permits by resolution at the conclusion of the Public Hearing. The motion <br /> passed by a unanimous roll call vote. <br /> RESOLUTION 14668 ADOPTING FEE SCHEDULE FOR BUILDING AND <br /> MISCELLANEOUS PERMITS AND RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 12883 <br /> JOINT MEETING September 12, 2005 <br /> CITY COUNCIL AND REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY PAGE 9 <br /> __ _ _ __ _ ___ _._ _._ <br />
