B) Uniform Building Code Fees. Mayor Hartnett said he didn't know how far away ITom the County average Redwood City's fee structure was, but he didn't want to spend a whole lot of time on it unless the City was far under the average and selling itself "too cheap." Then the City might need to increase fees to a reasonable level. If it was a marginal difference, Mayor Hartnett told staff not to worry about it. C) Parking rates and fees. Mayor Hartnett said he would support reviewing fines, but would not support reviewing parking rates. D) General Fund Transfers into the c.I.P. Mayor Hartnett said it was his guess that the City's capital improvement needs would remain high for a while. "We need to know what the impact would be" and how it would affect the Council priorities. "I'm most likely not interested in reducing" general fund transfers. Mayor Hartnett asked staff to overlay the Council's established priorities on the proposed Expenditure and Revenue guidelines and resubmit it to the Council before giving it to staff to use to shape their budgets.

Councilman Ruskin said the guidelines were very helpful but it was difficult to check back and forth between the guidelines and the priorities. The Council needed them integrated to be able to clearly see the impacts. City Manager Everett described specific guidelines and how they conformed to the Council's priorities, and agreed to write those priorities into the guidelines. MEMO 2/28/96 Vice Mayor Howard suggested the Council review the matter of parking meters in the downtown area. City Manager Everett briefly touched upon the Parking Fund which includes the meters and the parking garage, and expressed his concerns regarding future parking space revenues after Kaiser opens its parking garage and whether the Fund can remain in balance considering its debt service.
