Mayor Pro Tern Sullivan and staff discussed the process used to adjust the fees, and comparisons to other similar cities. Staff explained that Proposition 26 prevents cities from using an automatic percentage fee increase, and that current cost recovery is at 71 percent. Mayor Pro Tern Sullivan expressed his concerns regarding the Beach Edinger Corridor fees for remodels, new residential units, etc. and asked if the fees were different for the Beach Edinger Corridor vs. the same projects being done in other areas of the city. Staff explained that each Specific Plan has unique fees that are related to the city's unique costs for that Specific Plan. Councilmember Peterson confirmed with staff that if these fees are approved today, they can be adjusted during their next annual review. He shared concerns about how increasing costs impacts residents of the city, and expressed hopes that if actual costs drop, that the savings would be passed along to the residents. Councilmember Posey and staff discussed the timeline of the review, and its thorough evaluation resulting in 51 percent of the fees either dropping or remaining the same. Councilmember Posey thanked staff for the thoroughness of this review and the voluminous detail provided. He also reminded everyone that these fees are only to recoup costs — not make a profit — in delivering services. Councilmember Hardy shared that from her perspective these fees are paid by the people who receive the service, i.e., build an addition to their home, take a class or rent a facility. These flees should not be paid through other people's taxes. If the service provider's increase costs to the city, the increased costs rightfully should be passed on to the people using the service. The reality is that about one quarter of service fees are subsidized by the City. Councilmember Delgleize shared her agreement with the comments made by Councilmembers Posey and Hardy, and expressed her appreciation to staff and the Finance Board for the tremendous amount of effort and time that was put into this review. She supports the plan of incremental increases over the next three years with the annual review to ensure the incremental changes remain accurate. Councilmember Posey and staff discussed the community feedback from the seven public meetings, e- mail communication to entities requesting to be kept up to date, and the public hearing announcements. Mayor Katapodis reported meeting with department heads to properly understand this item, and he applauds the plan for incremental increases over three years. The fees are reasonable, and comparable to other area cities, and will be reviewed annually to keep the fees in alignment with costs. Mayor Katapodis opened the Public Hearing. City Clerk Robin Estanislau announced there were no public speakers signed up to speak. The City Clerk also announced receipt of communication from Chief Financial Officer Lori Ann Farrell entitled A Clarification of Developmental Impact Fees on pages 67 and 68 of attachment Exhibit 1A, which will not affect the item's recommended action.
