ISSUE
STATEMENT:
The State of Oregon has delegated to the City of Springfield the authority to issue
permits and perform inspection services required by the State Building Code. The
City has the ability by statutory authority to adjust permit fees to recover all
reasonable operational costs associated with performing permit and inspection
servIces.
ATTACHMENTS:
Attachment 1. Ordinance
DISCUSSION/
FINANCIAL
IMP ACT:
Springfield has not increased Specialty Code permit fees since calendar year 2001.
During this period the Community Services Division has been able to recover all
costs associated with providing permit and inspection services. As a result of the
significant increase in development activity and the continuing demands for
inspection services, two additional inspector positions were added to FY 08 Base
Budget. The cost of the two inspector positions to Fund 224 (a permit and
inspection service dedicated fund) is approximately $264,000 including City
indirects. Although past permit fee revenue has exceeded 100 percent cost recovery
for the last several years, the proposed fee increase is necessary to offset a
significant portion of the additional cost in order to sustain a reasonable reserve
account and to maintain effective service levels to the development community.
The proposed fee increase allows the Community Services Division to continue to
recover all costs associat~d with providing permit and inspection services.
The proposed fee increase is approximately a 10% increase of existing fees and
should generate an estimated $160,000 to $170,000 of additional revenue at
existing construction activity levels.
