Subject:

Adoption of a Resolution revising the fee for Block Party Permits.  (Action Item)

Date:4/24/2018

OBJECTIVE

A request for the City Council to adopt a Resolution approving a revised fee for block party permits. 

BACKGROUND

Staff has analyzed and calculated the actual and direct costs to the City to process and monitor a block party permitted event. The current cost for the permit is $50. This existing permit fee does not include the cost for public safety to monitor block parties. Starting in 2018, there will be one dedicated staff from both the Police and Fire departments assigned to monitor all block parties on 4th of July. Therefore, the costs for these permits have changed, and it is necessary to implement an additional fee of $86.50 to cover the increased costs, for a total revised fee of $136.50.

DISCUSSION

Staff is requesting that City Council adopt the attached Resolution to revise the fee for block party permits from the current fee of $50, to a revised fee of $136.50. The proposed fee is based on the actual costs of providing the services for such permits. The revised fee will become effective immediately upon adoption by the City Council. 
FINANCIAL IMPACT

Adoption of the Resolution revising the fee for block party permits will have no financial impact to the City's General Fund. 

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City Council:

 

  • Adopt the attached Resolution revising the fee for block party permits.
