SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Public Works has conducted an extensive review of the fees that are currently charged for associated activities and have determined that they are in need of revision.
Current activities that Public Works charges fees for include driveway permits, right-of-way permits, water and sewer hookups, and septage disposal. There are other activities that occur
that we do not currently charge for such as use of city hydrants for construction activities and work conducted within City right of ways (specifically the trenching and boring of city
streets) associated with Idaho Power, Cable One, and Frontier Communications.
All of these activities are all exclusively associated with some type of construction or development or, in some cases, businesses. Staff recommends that development and businesses pay
their way for the services that are required and provided by Public Works.
Lastly, there are proposed adjustments to water and sewer connections charges and septage disposal fees in addition to the new fees for the use of city hydrants. As mentioned, these
fees are for direct cost of service and are not determined through a rate study process (such as the ongoing sewer rate study).
All of the proposed fees are based upon the estimated cost of service (time, material, and equipment) that is required from processing applications to the numerous inspections that are
necessary to ensure that the city’s infrastructure is protected.
Staff requests direction to move forward with the proposed fee changes. A summary of the current and proposed fees that Public Works is recommending are attached.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
For City Council review and discussion.
