FEE STUDY WORKSHOP:
Consultant Presentation— City Treasurer Tina Kundig introduced Mike Adams,
from MGT of America, Inc., who presented a summary of the User Fee Study in
the form of a schedule reflecting the impact of a 100% cost recovery policy for
City of Redlands services. As a public comment, Steve Rogers identified
several line items in the schedule and requested further information in support
of the numbers reflected therein. Carlos Rodriguez, from the Baldy View
Chapter of Building Industry Association of Southern California, Inc., asked for
a fee freeze due to the currently depressed economic conditions in the Inland
Empire. Dan Nackerman, of the San Bernardino County Housing Authority,
suggested the use of a grandfather clause to minimize the impact of fee
increases on development projects already in progress. Mayor Aguilar
summarized the workshop discussion by identifying the need for data from the
previous fee study performed in 2007, as well as back-up data for the current
study. The Council identified a need to discuss further the level of subsidy
provided to the City of Redlands recreation programs and requested a change in
format for the schedule presentation to reflect an across the board comparison of
the impact of fee increases on total development project costs. Staff was tasked
to put the fee study back-up data on the City of Redlands website and to
develop a definition and language for consideration as a grandfather clause to
any fee increases. Further action was deferred to another fee study workshop to
be scheduled in the first two weeks of June 2012. A goal was set to vote on a
fee schedule resolution at the June 19, 2012 regular meeting of the City
Council.
