PROPOSALS TO MODIFY EXISTING FEES <br />(Continued) <br />The $5.00 deposit was originally set in the municipal code in 1968. The actual cost to <br />perform this test is significantly higher. At a minimum, it requires a trained city <br />worker two hours to pull a water meter in the field, transport it to a test bench, perform <br />the test, and reinstall the meter. The minimum cost to perform this work is currently <br />$96.00. <br />A proposed ordinance will allow the fee for a water meter test to be set by resolution. <br />Staff recommends that this fee be included in the Miscellaneous Fee Schedule and that <br />the fee be set at $96.00. <br />CLERK OF THE COUNCIL <br />6)Chapter 3 Appeal Hearing Fee <br />Existing Fee:$112.00 <br />Proposed Fee: $112.00 Deposit Fee (Applicant invoiced for Actual Cost of Hearing Officer) <br />Fee Description: <br />The City Council has a policy of full cost recovery. The $112.00 amount currently <br />charged does not cover the actual amount to hire an independent hearing officer to <br />consider the matter. The City has had a few cases over the past three years that cost the <br />residents over $1,000 each. The proposed amount would recover the actual cost, <br />excluding staff time. <br />76 <br />
