SUMMARY: Resolution 2023-10 (Exhibit 14-A) amends Rule 60, the Fees and Charges
Table, to reflect actual expenses (time, effort, and cost) incurred by the
District as a result of providing the services listed. The amendments (Exhibit 14-B) are shown in bold italic (new
text) and strikeout (deletions are shown in red). The table has been
renumbered for reference, and there are green notes related to the proposed
edits. Resolution 2023-10 must be adopted to implement these changes to Rule.
The
amendments to the Fees and Charges Table include:
1.
Deleted “Short Term
Variance” deleted as the rule was deleted some time ago in an ordinance.
2.
Deleted fees
associated with surveying residents for water rationing as the rule has been
changed and surveys are not required. In the event of future water rationing,
the fees associated with rationing actions will be evaluated and the table
amended if needed.
3.
Some fees were updated
to reflect actual staff efforts. Others, such as permits for river work, were
reviewed following the Finance and Administrative Committee meeting and
determined not to require further action.
4.
Items were moved
around to create a better flow and renumbered. Staff will be following up with
another round of reorganization after adoption of the changes proposed in this
resolution.
5.
Repeated fees were
deleted.
6.
Fees were added for
duplication and records costs which are primarily charged for Public Records
Act responses.
RECOMMENDATION: The Finance and Administration Committee
thoroughly reviewed this item, provided feedback to staff, and recommends that the Board adopt Resolution 2023-10,
Amending Rule 60, Fees and Charges Table.
BACKGROUND: Ordinance No. 120,
adopted March 21, 2005, allows changes to the Fees and Charges Table by Board Resolution. The Fees and Charges Table was last updated
on October 18, 2021, by adoption of Resolution 2021-17.
