CITY OF MOORPArRK CALI100RNIA City Councii Meeting of AC 1A aoa� 3 Barry K. Hogan, Community Development Directo August 12, 2004 (CC Meeting of 9/1/04) SUBJECT: Consider Approval of a Budget Amendment to Transfer and Appropriate Funds to Cover the Cost of a Grading Permit for a Fire Rebuild DISCUSSION Charles Abbott and Associates (CAA) , the City's Building and Safety and Engineering Services consultant, donated $5,000 to be used by the City toward costs associated with October 2003 fire. On December 17, 2003, the City Council approved the transfer of $4,500 from the General Fund Reserve to supplement the donated $5,000, to cover the total cost of waiver of building permit fees for homes which were destroyed in the fire (Attachment 1). As part of the Council action it also approved the waiver of any required grading permit fee as a result of reconstruction. At the time of the December report no grading was anticipated for any of the three fire rebuilds. Now, due to a desire to increase fire access and safety, the building pad of 7177 Walnut Canyon Road needs to be relocated, necessitating grading. The City's cost for a grading permit in this case is $6,700. Additionally, since it was anticipated that all building permits would be issued in fiscal year 2003 -2004, the $4,500 allocation and the $3,500 remaining from the CAA donation were not carried over into the 2004 -2005 budget and would need to be reallocated at this time. The total appropriation would be $14,700. STAFF RECOMMENDATION ROLL CALL VOTE 1. Adopt Resolution No. 2004- amending the fiscal year 2004 -2005 Community Development Budget, appropriating $8,000 from the Community Development Fund and $6,700 from the General Fund Reserve, for waiver of building permits 000259 Honorable City Council September 1, 2004 Page 2 and grading permit fees for the fire - rebuild homes referenced in the agenda report; 2.

So far, approximately $300 of the $5,000 of Charles Abbott Associates donation has been used.
