EI ' n,-� °�f��-� Agenda Item No . A 17 )
November 24, 1993
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Robert O. Malm, Interim City Manager
SUBJECT: Increased Fees for Citations
PURPOSE
To forward for Council consideration a proposed ordinance
amendment regarding increased fees for citations .
BACKGROUND
At the meeting with the City Council on November 20, 1993,
the Department of Code Administration proposed raising the
administrative citation fee from $10 . 00 ($25 . 00 late fee) to
$25 .00 ($50 . 00 late fee) . The attached ordinance amendment
will accomplish the purpose.
The Department of Code Administration currently spends approx-
imately $15,000 annually in administering housing complaint
citations . The revenue generated in 1993, although the larg-
est since the program was initiated, is expected to be
$7 , 180 . This fee does not cover any of the costs of the
inspection.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
If the same number of initial citations and late citations
are issued in 1994 as in 1993 (318 and 160, respectively) , a
total revenue of $15,950 will be generated.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt the proposed amendment.
