Title
Resolution No. 18-16, Modifying Public Works Engineering Fees Schedule and Amending Resolution No. 15-37
Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION (Motion):
Adopt Public Works Engineering Fees Schedule with additional new fees and amending Resolution No. 15-37.
BACKGROUND:
The City adopted Resolution No. 15-37 establishing a schedule of permit fees for Public Works Engineering which included all engineering fees previously adopted by resolutions, and established a consistent method to adjust these fees on an annual basis to account for inflation. The previously adopted Resolution No. 15-37 and other resolutions established fees that are necessary to defray the Public Works Engineering Division’s actual operational costs.
Staff recommends to modify the Public Works Engineering Fees schedule, Exhibit A, which includes all engineering fees previously adopted by resolutions; proposes additional fees as described in Exhibit B; and continues to include an adjustment provision to adjust these fees on an annual basis to account for inflation.
Staff recommends adopting this resolution to recover, to the extent practicable, the actual cost of providing Public Works Engineering Services to facilitate the issuing of permits for construction of various public and private infrastructure per the City of Oregon City standards.
With adoption of Exhibit A, the Public Works Engineering Fees schedule shall become effective June 18, 2018, with the “go live” of the new EnerGov permit program.
