Title
Resolution approving the Fiscal Year 2018-19 Master Fee Schedule.
body
WHEREAS, the Fiscal Year (FY) 2017-18 Master Fee Schedule reflects a comprehensive update to the City’s fees via a Cost Allocation Plan and fee study; and
WHEREAS, best management practices recommend that the City complete a fee study every three to five years, and apply the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in the intervening years; and
WHEREAS, the Bureau of Labor Statistics calculated the change in CPI for All Urban Consumers for the San Francisco - Oakland - Hayward area between June 2017 and February 2018 to be 2.18 percent, which has been applied to the FY 2018-19 Master Fee Schedule, attached herein as Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, application of CPI provides a reasonable benchmark for the City to keep pace with the cost to provide the service associated with the fees listed in the Master Fee Schedule; and
WHEREAS, the recommended rate $4,000 for the Master Licensing Agreement, $4,200 for the Small Cell Use Permit deposit and Attachment Fee of $1,500 per pole per year is consistent with comparable local government agencies; and
WHEREAS, the recommended rate of $950 per pole for the Small Cell Administrative Deposit was calculated using the fully burdened hourly rate from the recent fee study, and reflects six hours of staff time.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of South San Francisco does hereby approve the FY 2018-19 Master Fee Schedule with an effective date of July 1, 2018.
