Under discussion, Councilmember Daysog stated that he would like to see Section 7-3 have specific provisions; noted that he will be abstaining from the vote. Councilmember Oddie stated that he previously had reservations about the matter; noted the Council is still having discussions about violations, which provides him more comfort than before.

On the call for the question, the motion carried by the following roll call vote: Councilmembers Daysog: Aye; Knox White: Aye; Oddie: Aye; Vella: Aye; and Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft: Aye. Ayes: 5. (20-466) Resolution No. 15674, "Amending Master Fee Resolution No. 12191 to Add and Revise Fees." Adopted. The Assistant City Manager gave a brief presentation. Vice Mayor Knox White expressed concern about appeal fees; outlined a previous appeal for Alameda Theatre; noted appeals on priority projects for Council and the City should have a different fees; expressed support for directing staff to return in the future to address the issue. The City Attorney stated field fees are user fees for use of public property; the City has more latitude to set user fees; permit fees must be set at cost-recovery only; permit fees that are governed by Proposition 26 and 218 do not authorize the City to charge one group of payers to subsidize permit fees for another group of payers; noted a smaller fee on solar projects is possible due to the project type being a Council priority; fees set based on the appellant or applicant become legally problematic. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft stated that Council may direct staff to return with the information at a later date. Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 14 July 7, 2020 | CityCouncil/2020-07-07.pdf |
