Staff's Recommended Board Motion:
A) Adopt a Resolution amending the fee schedule for Building and Construction Services in order to
foster economic development by providing for a limited duration 60% reduction in fees for building and
construction-related permit applications and applications for service filed between January 1, 2013 and
December 31, 2013, an estimated savings of $7.23 million in fees to the building industry, and provide
for stand-alone permit fees for trade permits.
B) Direct the County Attorney's Office to amend the construction code (Ordinance 12-5) to delete the
Contractor License Delinquent Renewal penalty which will be addressed in the Building and
Construction Services fee schedule.
Approval of this agenda item is anticipated to reduce the cost of building permits by $7.23 million
during calendar year 2013 and reduce the fund balance in the Building Services Fund from a current
projected level of $7.5 million at December 31, 2012 to $3.8 million by December 31, 2013.
Financial Impact Statement:
Approval of this agenda item is anticipated to reduce the cost of building permits by $7.23 million
during calendar year 2013 and reduce the fund balance in the Building Services Fund from a current
projected level of $7.5 million at December 31, 2012 to $3.8 million by December 31, 2013.
Background:
At the September 8, 2011 Board meeting, the Board voted to approve a 15-month 50% fee reduction for
building and construction related permit applications. The period of the reduction was from October 1,
2011 through December 31, 2012. The reduction was made due to the downturn suffered by the
building industry and was designed to stimulate economic development and construction activity. Over
the term of the reduction, permit activity has increased. However, there has not yet been a significant
sustained recovery. By approving this agenda item, the Board will further stimulate the building
industry and the local economy. The proposed fee schedule also includes minor corrections to the
adopted fee schedule to reflect current practices.
Additionally, the County recognizes that the current fund balance in the Building Services Fund is
greater than is necessary to assure financial stability within the fund. The Building Services Fund will
close FY 12 with a projected fund balance of $7.5 million. Further reduction to the adopted fee rates
will initiate the process of reducing the ending fund balance while maintaining sound financial practice.
Extending the reduction period for an additional 12 months while simultaneously increasing the
reduction rate to 60% fee is anticipated to reduce fund balance to $3.8 million by December 31, 2013,
which is approximately 4.5 months of operating expenditures. During the term of this extension, staff
will continue to work with the building industry to further evaluate the County's fee structure and to
develop a target fund balance policy for managing fund balance to a level that will be maintained within
an agreed upon range.
