MEMORANDUM Date
TO: Chairman Leonard and Members of the Board of Appeals and Advisors
FROM: Kenneth G, Larsen, C,B.O., Director of Building and Housing~A'~
Secretary to the Board of Appeals and Advisors
SUBJECf: MASTER FEE SCHEDULE - DEPOSIT ACCOUNT FOR BOARD OF
APPEALS AND ADVISORS
As you may recall, the actions of the Board at the November 18, 1991 meeting was to
approve staffs recommendation for adjustments to the Department of Building and
Housing's contributions to the City-Wide Master Fee Schedule, subject to the following
conditions:
1. Incorporate the fee for Plan Check Services into schedule, based upon 304(c),
Uniform Building Code; and,
2. Staff to examine the feasibility of establishing a deRosit account for a~p]ications
submitted for hearings before the Board, rather than t e proposed rate of 440.
The Department is complimentary of the Board's intended direction, that of basing costs of
service to specific delivery of such services, In order to fully explore both administrative and
operational aspects of incoóorating ·a deposit account versus a t1at fee amount, staff is
recommending that the ecember 9, 1991 regular meeting be re-scheduled to
Monday, December 16, 1991. Staff is recommending an additional week to provide the
Board with applicable back-up information to coincide with appropriate recommendation,
As previously reported to the Board, the anticipated date to have the recommended
adjustments to the City-Wide Master Fee Schedule was to be heard before the City Council
at their first meeting in December. Since this report, staff now anticipates the Master Fee
Schedule to be heard approximately January 14, 1992, Hence, the delay of one week to
December 16, 1991 for the Board will not adversely affect the City-Wide Master Fee
Schedule City Council Hearing date.
Again, my compliments to the Board for your insight and sensitivity to this issue of fee
deposit versus a flat rate amount. I will look forward to our recommended change of
meeting date to December 16, 1991 to discussing this further with you, In the event further
information or clarification should be necessary, please do not hesitate to contact me.
