SUBJECT: Second Hearing of Amendment to Master Schedule of Fees - Public Works and Planning
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Conduct second hearing and adopt Ordinance to amend Fresno County Master Schedule of Fees, Charges, and Recovered Costs Sections 1000 - Computer Services (EMIS); 1500 - Parks and Recreation; and 2200 - Public Works; and waive reading of the Ordinance in its entirety.

Approval of the recommended action would revise the Master Schedule of Fees, Charges, and Recovered Costs (MSF) Sections 1000, 1500, and 2200 based on actual Department of Public Works and Planning costs to reimburse staff costs for projects requested by County departments and outside public agencies. In addition, the revision to Section 2200 provides fee exemptions associated with the issuance of certain permits under prescribed circumstances. This item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
Your Board may direct staff to use current fees or propose alternative fees, which may not recover 100% of departmental staff costs and do not allow for exemptions in prescribed circumstances.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with the recommended actions. It is anticipated that with the fee rate amendments, the Department will ensure 100% cost recovery for salaries, benefits, and indirect costs. The proposed exemptions are cost neutral or no cost.
