<br />........_ '.~.\r,,: <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />MEMO <br /> <br />To: <br /> <br />Matt Fulton, City Manager <br /> <br />Copy To: <br /> <br />Margaret Egan, Director of Finance <br /> <br /> <br />From: <br /> <br />Kevin Locke, Director of Community Development <br /> <br />Date: <br /> <br />December 8, 1994 <br /> <br />Attached is the proposed new fee schedule for Building Permits. The proposed increase in <br />rates is the first increase in several years and is based on the International Conference of <br />Building Officials recommended 1994 rates. New Brighton is currently using the ICBO 1988 <br />rate schedule. Since the leBO proposed rates are a quite significant increase (roughly 40% <br />on a $125,000 new house), the rates Staff are proposing are much less, approximately a 21 % <br />increase for a $125,000 new house. The effect of the proposed rate change would be less on <br />smaller projects. Permit fees for typical reroofmg or deck projects would be approximately <br />7.6% . <br /> <br />The rate schedules used by other communities vary greatly. Some are adopting the ICBO <br />1994 rates, others are using earlier rate schedules or modified rate schedules. <br /> <br />In the interest of avoiding large jumps in our permit fees, Staff is recommending the attached <br />modified leBO 1994 rate schedule. Building Permit fees are an important non-tax revenue <br />source and it is important to keep our rates up to date. <br /> <br />-2- <br />
