PUBLIC HEARING
RESOLUTION - Amending the Schedule of Fees and Service'Charges relative to planning
processing fees
(F-205-600)
The hour of7:00 p.m. having arrived, Mayor Cibula opened the public hearing to consider
increasing planning processing fees and amending Resolution No. 97-202, amending the
Schedule of Fees and Service Charges pertaining to Development Processing Fees and
Traffic Impact Fees.
I
The following documents are on file in the Office of the City Clerk:
Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing
City Clerk Strohmayer advised that no protests were received.
Development Services Director Hamilton recalled that in 1988, DMG Consultants conducted
a review of the City's fees and services charges and, as a result, planning processing fees
were increased to recover 15% of the cost for services provided. This increase represents the
only increase since 1992, (with the exception of an annual CPI adjustment) when a 20%
surcharge was added to the preparation of environmental review documents. Since
establishing the recovery rate in 1988, service fees have eroded over the years to recover only
10.2% of the cost for service.
While planning processing fee recovery for the 2003-05 Biennial Budget was established at
12.6%, Mr. Hamilton related that staff suggests that the recovery rate be increased to 12.7%
for fiscal year 2003-04 and increased to a minimum of 15% in fiscal year 2004-05 to buffer
against future increases. He noted that many agencies charge substantially more for this
service than the increase recommended for Redding.
I
Mr. Hamilton recommended that a resolution be adopted amending Resolution No. 97-202
and increasing planning processing fees to a fee recovery rate of 12.7% for fiscal year 2003-
04 and to 15% for fiscal year 2004-05.
Paul Edgren, Redding resident, suggested that all City fees be increased simultaneously so
that considerations can be made equally. Mr. Hamilton clarified that there are two types of
fees paid during the permitting process, impact fees and service fees. If a project does not
go beyond the planning phase, impact fees would not be required, though staff time is still
involved.
In response to Mr. Edgren, Mr. Hamilton explained that the environmental review fee is paid
on the entire project regardless of the amount of open space involved, and the staff fee covers
administration ofthe environmental impact report (EIR) process such as public hearings and
necessary correspondence but does not provide for hiring a consultant to prepare an EIR.
Mayor Cibula determined that no other individual wished to address this matter and closed
the public hearing.
I
Mayor Cibula opposed staffs recommendation observing that it could potentially provide
revenue above that which is needed for the budget.
Mayor Cibula also asked if the proposal included increasing the cost of small project permits
by 15%. Mr. Hamilton clarified that smaller project permits rarely provide the recovery rate
necessary to reach 12%, while some of the larger projects do meet most of the recovery rate.
He pointed out that variances and miscellaneous permits were exempt from the proposed
15% increase, but would sustain a small fee increase of 10%. He pointed out that any
amount not recovered through fees is ultimately paid by the taxpayer.
10/21/2003

In response to Council Member Stegall, Deputy City Manager Starman explained that all fees
are prouiht bt:;fore City' Councjl for consiqeration armually in July in the form of the
Sch~dule lof F~es aJ;1d S~rviG~ Gharges. . ae 'no't~d; th~t .~onsideratiQn of these planning
prpce~~ing an~ fire inspection ~et:;s .are unique because they were part oftp~ a.ssumptions of
the recently-~dopt~d budget to provide sufficient revenues.
I " "
Mayor Cibula advised that he ~ill vote no on this item du,e to ~oncems regarding the amount
of th~ increase, pointing ollt t4at the recovery rate disqlssed during the 2003-0S Biennial
Budget consideration was 12.6%.

ORDINANCE - Amending the Zoning Map on property located at 3939 Chum Creek Road,
Rezoning Application RZ-I-03, and rescinding Ordinance No. 2307

Development Services Director Hamilton recalled that Ordinance No. 2307, relating to
rezoning property located at 3939 Chum Creek Road (RZ-I-03), was adopted by the City
Council on April 15, 2003. He pointed out that the ordinance included a reference to an
obsolete Redding Municipal Code (RMC) section eliminated with the adoption of the new
Zoning Ordinance in December 2002. The ordinance under consideration would correct the
misquoted RMC section but not change zoning of property.
I

be offered for first reading by title only.

il1labor/management me~tings w,ith the International As~oc~at~on of Firefighters (IAFF) on
anoth~r l11atter. During the cOl!r~e of those, meetings, it becal11e apparent that the Fire
pep~ment cou~d provide analtern~tive 'proposal to meet ARFF requirements at a cost of
$~84,272 f~r th~ first year, which is $28,040 less than the low~st proposal submitted by
Pro- Tec Fire Services, Ltd., with more qualified personnel.

proposal by t~e Redding Fire Departtnent to provide f\RFF requirements at Fire Station No.

City Manager Warren ':1lso rec;omI,I1eI1de~ approval o~the Redding Fire Department proposal
bedlU~~: 1) tt is less ~xpens~ve than qt~er bids n:,:ceiyed, 2) during the term of the contract,
staffjng l~vels ilfidcosts for serviyes will opt ch,ange, 3) at the end of the contract period,
(2006) the bid process would be utili~ed, anq 4) at the end of the contract period, if a private
contractor receives the bid to provide A~FF services at Fire Station No.7, the existing
Redding Fire personnel can be moved to a.vailable vacant positions.
Counc;il Members: Kight and P.ohlmeyer e~pressed concern that the bid process was
'.' . . '. .
circumvented unfairly with a proposal from the Redding Fire Department submitted after the
" ,. .
bids ~ere .opened. If the biq proces~ is uti,lized in the future, they urged that all proposals be
submitted to the City Clerk's Office whicl1 i,s standard procedure and that a fair and equitable
process be provided.
Support Services Director Kersten responded that Chief Fry was not employed with the City
at the time the bid proc~ss began. However, when he became Chief and reviewed the plans
for Fire Stations No.7 and No.8, he found alternatives that had not been ~xplored and the
proposal was, negotia.ted with I,AFF utiHzi~g City staff.

t
Council Member Stegall did not beljeve the bjd proce~s unfair and maintained that ~ven in
the private sector if a bid retUrns higher than a company anticipates, it will often use its own
staff to provide t~e se~ic~. . , ' ". ,'.., '

Mayor Cibula concurred th!lt corri.panie~ might look at other alternatives but believed it was
not typical to have employees bid a jo.b that they are presently performing.
Mr. Warren assured the City Council that when,the process is repeated in 2006, it will be
brought to City Council for consiqeration apd approval.
