Provide the information Council needs proactively - having conducted hundreds of successful user <br />fee studies, GCP consultants know the information Councils typically need to feel comfortable with <br />proposed fee adjustments. Examples include: <br />• Relevant comparison data <br />GCP provides data on real -life projects reflecting <br />the City's overall construction mix, ratherthan <br />randomly selected fees from each department's <br />schedule. <br />• A cohesive subsidization strategy <br />Increasingly, councils expect to see an overall strategy <br />with respect to fees receiving General Fund subsidy. <br />We work with department staff to organize these fees <br />into categories reflective of Council priorities. <br />• Stakeholder feedback <br />Combination Permit, incld PME's <br />2,200sq ft SFD w 400 detached garage <br />52,500 <br />$2,000 <br />$1,500 <br />51,000 <br />$500 <br />So <br />Current Proposed City A City B City C City D City E <br />Water Heater Permits <br />Appeals <br />Solar Energy Permits <br />NSF Check fees <br />Youth Sports <br />Life Safety <br />Customer Access <br />Sustainability <br />State set limits <br />Access and Community <br />Benefit <br />GCP develops presentations explaining study goals, methodology and any proposed <br />changes that might affect the development community. The development community <br />appreciates these opportunities to provide feedback prior to study finalization. GCP staff <br />have conducted outreach presentations to local BIA chapters, chambers of commerce and <br />tax advocate watchdog groups. In every case, developers are supportive if they feel they're <br />being treated fairly. We prepare City staff for questions such as "What do we get from this <br />study? Is the City adding more staff? Will we see fasterturn-aroundtimes?" <br />Deliverables, implementation plans and schedules are shown below. <br />Government Consulting Partners �j City of Santa Ana PW Proposal 18 <br />1111_ll <br />
