GILLESPIE Chief of Police THOMAS P. GENOVESE City Treasurer M E M O R A N D U M TO: The Honorable City Council FROM: Patrick J. Richards, Director of Community Development f� DATE: May 9, 1988 (CC meeting of 5/18) SUBJECT: REVISION OF FEE SCHEDULE FOR BUILDING & SAFETY PERMIT AND SERVICES Background The County of Ventura has been providing Building and Safety Services for the City since it's incorporation in 1983. As of June 30, 1988 the County will discontinue this service. As part of the City's contract with the County there was the use of the County's building code fee schedule. This schedule was used to determine not only the fees paid by permit holders but was the basis for the contract with the County. Discussion When the County terminates it's service with the City there will be no formally adopted fee schedule for building permit fees. Although the City has adopted resolutions for Land Development Permit Processing and Subdivisions, the has been no separate resolution for Building Permit Fees. The County of Ventura has just recently adopted a new fee schedule. It is suggested that the City consider adopting the County's schedule. PiR•rrl 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529-6864 BS/C/CH RON I May 9, 1988 Page 2 To adopt the County's schedule would help retain the transition for those projects that are in the "pipeline". It would also reduce staff's work load in processing a report and resolution so as to adopt a new schedule. It would also allow the adoption prior to the termination of the County's services. Prior to the Council's adoption of a new schedule there will need to be a public hearing. Also, all approved projects which have not yet pulled permits should be given advance notice if possible increases in permit fees. Recommended Action 1. Set June 1, 1988 as a public hearing date to consider the adoption and possible increase in building permit fees; 2. Direct staff to notice all approved projects that have not obtained building permits of possible fee increases; 3. Direct staff as deemed appropriate.

Cudmore Building Official o) t7J �o r� cn W Subject: Revision of Fee Schedule for Building and Safety Permits and Services RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1. Conduct a public hearing, and at its conclusion, adopt the attached Resolution and Fee Schedule. STATEMENT OF MATTER FOR BOARD CONSIDERATION: The current Ventura County Building Code Fee Schedule has been in effect since 1983. During the interim, costs of operating the Division have risen substantially.. For that reason, most permit fees must be increased. Passage of the resolution, Attachment A, will assure sufficient. revenue to offset costs, maintain satisfactory service levels, and open an East County office, as recently approved by your Board. The proposed fee schedule, Attachment B, is similar but not identical to those in use by other building departments. Differences in such fees are generally due to variations in cost of operation, level of service, and other factor:. The fees proposed by Building and Safety are, for the most part, at or below those of other jurisdictions. Written notification was recently given to dozens of individualpermit applicants whose projects are currently in the permit processing ,pipeline," make the aware of possible fee increases if they fail to obtain their permit: within the prescribed time limit. An information bulletin concerning adoption of the proposed Fee Schedule was mailed in late January to more than 30 groups and representatives who might have an interest in this item. Proper :Legal advertising of today's hearing has also been given. To date, there has been little inquiry concerning the fee schedule. MAIN OFFICE 800 South V Ictoria Avenue, Ventura.

The Division proposes to vacate leased office space in Moorpark and move to a different location in the eastern part of the County. Approval of this item will initiate a search by the Public Works Agency for the necessary office accommodations and enable Building and Safety to proceed with the necessary actions leading to the establishment of an East County office by June 30th. Personnel for the new office will be drawn from the current Building and Safety staff in Moorpark and Camarillo. In order to provide proper supervision and inspection quality control, it is proposed that one Building Inspector position be eliminated, and that it be replaced with a Senior Building Inspector position. Additionally, a Senior Typist Clerk is needed to handle the anticipated volume of telephone calls, inspection requests, and clerical work. The foregoing personnel transfers and changes will provide a complement for the East County office consisting of: Building and Safety District Supervisor Permit Processing Supervisor (Payroll Title: Sr. Building Inspector) Senior Building Inspector Building Inspectors Senior Typist Clerk The latest workload estimates indicate thafi an 8% reduction in permit processing will occur in F/Y 1988-99 as compared to 1987-88, due to termination of Building and Safety services for the City of Moorpark. The Division is currently at peak plan review and inspection workload, however, and staff reductions would be eery premature at this time. Workload will continue to be monitored on a regular basis, and as is consistent with Board policy, staffing will be reduced if and when an adjustment is indicated by workload. Requested funding will cover a computer for performing engineering calculations and word processing, a reader printer for existing microfilmed documents to be transferred from the Building and Safety office in Camarillo, telephones, office furnishings, and two hand-held radios to permit emergency communication by Code Enforcement personnel and to expedite the processing of data pertaining to abandoned vehicles. While the aforementioned radios are not directly related to estalisentity beenb discussedo with Board f an East Cmembers since Julyounty office, s of n 1987s and is r supported by sbyViems f this item wall be generated by increa:.ing Revenue sufficient to cover the cost o fees for Building and Safety permits and services. Such increases can be accomplished by your Board adopting by resolution the proposed Fee Sche:ule (Attachment A), combined with departmental use of an updated standard valua ion table. Such tables reflect the current replacement cost of various categorie of buildings and are used by building departments throughout California in calculating building permit and plan review fees. Board of Supervisors February 23, 1988 (Agenda) Page 3 ! Details pertaining to fee and valuation schedules are contained in Attachment. B. s This bulletin was mailed to more than 30 representative organizations and individuals who may be affected, or who may have an interest in the proposed changes. Should the revised fee schedule be adopted on March 15 as proposed, higher permit fees will become effective on that date, except for construction projects which are "in process." More specifically: Projects which have been accepted by Building and Safety for permit processing prior to March 15, and for which required processing and plan review fees have been paid, will be entitled to permit issuance under the lower fee and valuation schedules currently in effect provided, however, that such permits are obtained within 180 days of application y therefor. This item has been reviewed by the offices of the Chief Administrative Officer, County Counsel, and Auditor/Controller. If you have any questions concerr.ing this matter, please call me at extension 2787. J. D. Cudmore, Building Official JDC:ms/L417 Attachment A: Proposed Fee Schedule B: Bulletin re: fee and valuation schedules COPIES TO: RMA Bldg. & Safet, Auditor Files (2) Item 30 2/23/88 fw RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AGENCY county ofvEntura January 25, 1988 BULLETIN DIVISION OF BUILDING .ND SAFETY i, D. C-.more iunamg C}f�clal To: Architects, Builders, Developers, Engineers, and other interested persons Subject: Revision of Standard Valuation Table and Fee Schedule GENERAL Building and Safety's standard valuation table for construction, which is used in combination with the Ventura County Building Code Fee Schedule for calculating plan review and building permit fees, has not been updated since 1981. The fee schedule itself has not been revised since 1983. During the interim, the Division's costs of operation have risen significantly, and it is now necessary to offset increased costs by raising plan review and building permit fees, as well as electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permit fees. Initiating use of an updated standard valuation table, and simultaneously adopting the proposed fee schedule, will result in plan review and building permit fee increases of approximately 23% for "typical" permits. However, builders should be aware that the increase could be above oz below this percentage for individual construction projects, depending upon a variety of factors such as the amount of increase since 1981 in replacement cos Cs (valuation), and the complexity of construction. Since electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permit fees are not linked �o valuation, they are affected only by increases in the Fee Schedule. These proposed increases will amount to approximately 20%. STANDARD VALUATION TABLE The Standard Valuation Table which will be used by Building and Safety is patterned closely after valuation data compiled by the International Conference of Building Officials and published in BUILDING STANDARDS magazine (see enclosure). This data is currently in use by building departments throughout California. The Division's valuation table will deviate from the enclosed example by using rates per square foot which have been rounded to the nearest dollar; and it will also contain valuations for miscellaneous construction projects such as patio covers, swimming pools, retaining walls, etc. (continued....)

No change in this percentage is proposed. Electrical, plumbing, and mechanical plan review fees, when required, are calculated at 50% of the corresponding permit fee. No change in c.his percentage is proposed. IMPLEMENTATION The valuation and fee changes outlined above will apply only to const:ruc:.ion in the unincorporated areas of Ventura County, and are tentatively scheduled to become effective in mid -March. The higher rates would take effect at chat time, except for construction projects in the Building and Safety "pipeline." Specifically: Permit applications for projects which have been accepted by Building and Safety for processing and plan review, and for which required processing and plan review fees have been paid prior to the effective date, will be entitled to issuance under the lower fee and valuation tables which are presently in use provided, however, that such permits are obtained within 180 days of application therefor. NEED MORE INFORMATION? Copies of the Standard Valuation Table and the proposed Fee Schedule are available at all three Building and Safety offices, for a nominal cop�,ing charge.
