CityCouncil | 2010-07-06 | 9 | Mayor Johnson stated Mr. Brandt commented that individual building and permit fees seem reasonable but when combined seem higher than other communities; the matter should be reviewed. Councilmember Gilmore stated that she believes that the Planning and Building Department has reviewed the matter. Mayor Johnson stated remodeling and on-going maintenance is a critical issue in Alameda. The Interim City Manager stated a presentation on the issue could be provided under City Manager Communications. Vice Mayor deHaan stated that he saw a new, detailed breakdown when obtaining a permit; the City cannot charge more fees than needed [to cover costs]. Councilmember Tam stated in 2006, Council adopted a fee schedule to streamline and make things easier for the Planning and Building and Public Works Departments; inquired whether said fees would also be affected by the 1.7% increase. The Interim City Manager responded that she assumes the City changed the fee schedule to a per unit basis as opposed to a valuation table; some cities held on to the old method because cities made a lot of money; using the valuation table results in charging more than the cost recovery in an administration fee. Councilmember Tam moved adoption of the resolution. Councilmember Matarrese seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. (10-336) Public Hearing to Consider adoption of a Resolution Approving Tentative Parcel Map No. 9876, Planning Application No. PLN09-0185 - a Parcel Map for the Proposed Subdivision of the Site at 2318 Pacific Avenue into Two Parcels.
