e In response to Councilman Keller's request for explanation of difference in figures quoted, Mr. Nolte said he believed the Homebuilders figures included the annual increase in valuations over a three-year period in addition to the proposed fee schedule increase. An employe of Breeden Bros. (unidentified) said he had prepared the figures based on a schedule distributed about a week back. There was no explanation of the difference. Councilman Murray asked if there was any reduction in permit fees for city- sponsored rehabilitation projects. Manager said there were ways of arranging for exemptions that would reduce fees. However, he felt a feature such as that should be kept separate from the issue under discussion. He said that in about a month's time some suggestions could be worked out for Council consideration. Mr. Murray expressed satisfaction with that time schedule. Mayor Anderson asked how the fees proposed related to the cost of services by the building department. Also, what percentage of building department costs were met by revenues. Mr. Nolte answered that fielding one inspector takes from $18,000 to $19,000 annually - salary, fringe benefits, vehicle support, etc. The proposed increase in fees, he said, would add about $30,000 to $38,000 in annual revenue which would more nearly balance revenues of the department against costs. lie estimated about 90% of costs are now met with revenues and said there was a general fund subsidy of the department at this time.
