(Staff: Yolanda Cunning, Finance/Administrative Services Director and City Treasurer) (ROLL CALL VOTE REQUIRED) Item: 10.E. MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable City Council FROM: Yolanda Cunning, Finance/Administrative Services Director and City Treasurer DATE: 10/04/2023 Regular Meeting SUBJECT: Consider Establishing a Technology Enhancement Fund (3011) and a Resolution Amending the Fiscal Year 2023/24 Budget by Appropriating $25,000 Revenue and Authorizing the Transfer of Accumulated Imaging Fees of $161,196 from City General Deposit Fund (6000) SUMMARY As part of the new Fee Schedule effective July 1, 2023, the City discontinued the Imaging Fees that were being assessed to building and safety plans since Fiscal Year (FY) 2009/10. This fee was established for the specific purpose of digitizing plan documents and the accumulated funds were placed in a restricted fund. On June 30, 2023, the accumulated imaging fee balance was $161,196.00. Staff desires to create a Technology Enhancement Fund to set aside the accumulated Imaging Fees collected as well as the newly established Technology Enhancement Fees that are being assessed on building, planning, and public works permits. The Technology Enhancement Fund support future scanning, as well as one-time enhancement projects such as upgrades to Tyler ERP 10, Executime, and Energov or any other ongoing or one-time technology related enhancements. The estimated annual revenue is $25,000. BACKGROUND On June 17, 2009, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2009-2823 authorizing the initial transfer of $50,000 from fees imposed on developers to City General Deposit Fund (6000) to establish a funding source for the purpose of digitizing plan documents for Building and Safety. In FY 2009/10, the Imaging Fees were added to Building and Safety fees and began assessing in October 2009. The fees are intended for the purpose of digitizing plan documents. On February 1, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2023-4157 updating User and Regulatory Fees and Service Charges effective July 1, 2023. The Resolution Item: 10.E. 105 Honorable City Council 10/04/2023 Regular Meeting Page 2 authorized the discontinuation of the Imaging Fee and replaced it with the Technology Enhancement Fee which imposes six percent (6%) of the permit fees to be designated for future technology requirements. DISCUSSION The new technology fee will allow for various technology enhancement projects and will be separated from the current Imaging fee fund which was designated for a specific use. The revenue is estimated to be approximately $25,000 per year and will be assessed on building, planning, and public works permits. Staff is requesting the City Council approve the creation of Technology Enhancement Fund (3011) designated as a Special Revenue fund and restrict the use of the funds to manage various technology enhancement projects and to track the receipt from building, planning, and public works permits. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as it does not constitute a project, as defined by Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Therefore, no further environmental review is required. FISCAL IMPACT There will be no fiscal impact with this change, however, a budget amendment of $25,000 estimated in revenue and a transfer of $161,196.00 from City General Deposit Fund (6000) to the Technology Enhancement Fund (3011) are requested. COUNCIL GOAL COMPLIANCE This action does not support a current strategic directive.
