Committee: Date
Resolution requesting LIEP to provide the City
Council with a report as to whether the 50% reduction in
all housing-related permit fees, as embodied in Council File
#00-749, for new construction projects will cover City costs
in processing and inspecting said projects.
WIIEREAS, the City Council on September 13, 2000 approved and adopted, by amendment to Saint PauPs
Legislative Code Chapter 33.04 in Council File # 00-749, the continuation of a pilot program meant to increase
housing in Saint Paul by reducing the fees for alI housing-related permits for new construction by 50%;
WHEREAS, the City Council only exYendea this program to Decamber 31, 2000, rather than fiu•ther, because
of the Council's concern that the loss of revenue from the reduction in fees would negatively impact the resources
needed by the City to perforxn the work necessary to inspecting and processing the projects associated with the permits;
WHEREAS, the City Council needs information regarding the City's cost of inspecting and processing the
projects associated with the permits in order to evaluate whether the pilot program should be extended further;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: That the City Council requests LIEP to make a written report to the
Council at the City Council meeting on October 4, 2000 regarding the City's cost of inspecting, reviewing, and
otherwise processing the new construction projects associated with all housing-related permits and whether the reduced
fees for these projects will cover such City costs.

Re: The Cost of Inspections-1999
A s you laiow, conshuction activity in the City continues at a record pace. 1949 was the fifth record
year in a row with double digit increases in the number of permits, inspections, valuations, and
revenues (see attached LIEP Annual Permit Report}. Until 1999, LIEP staff had been able to handle
the increased work load through efficiencies, working smarter, and the use of a number of part time
and temporary u�spectors, and support staff. In 1999, it was necessary for us to add one plan reviewer
and a building inspector to keep pace with the increase in the number of pernuts and inspections.
These two positions, plus the Project Facilitator II position in the 2000 budget, are the only increases
in the total complement of LIEP staff since the Office was created in 1992, outside of the transfer of
three PED staff in 1995, who came with the transfer of tkte responsibilities for site plan review,
heritage preservarion, and staffing the Boazd ofZoning Appeals). Yau may recall that these services
were provided by PED with 5 and a half full time staff, while LTEP absorbed the responsibiliries with
the transfer of only three (3) FTE's.
When we compieted the vision for the redesigned Office with the help of Rita Kidd in 1994, we noted
that the new computer system would improve the efficiency ofback office operations by
approximately 80 to 90%, front counter operations by about 50%, and fieid work by only 10 to 15%.
The creation of the ECLIPSJAMANDA system has unproved our "in office" processing efficiency
and capacity, but it obviously can not perform inspections and solve problems in the field where our
mission critical work takes pIace. Field staffprovide our direct services, the rest of us who work in
the Office are here primarily to support the field inspectors.
Since 1994, our overall workload increased by more than 150% while our staff complement has
increased by only 6%, (3% if you dou't count the staff transferred from PED who brought suhstantial
new responsibilities with them in 1995). In 2001, we have requested the addition of several new field
and staff support positions, to keep pace with the increase in overall construction activity and the
specific increase in housing construction anticipated in response to the City's Housing Initiative.
In budgetary terms, we have �ceeded revenue projections each of the last five years while keeping
expenditures under authorized amounts. Even with the Housing Iniriative fee reduction and the
modest increase in staff, we believe that we will remain wiUun our revenue projections. Even if we
do exceed budgeted revenues, we can tap the LIEP fund balance, which has grown to more than $2.4
million at the end of 1999. According to our budget analysts and sound accounting practices LIEP
should maintain at least a 40% fund balance, which is approximately $1.9 million, in order to
complete projects already approved if there is a downturn in the growth of construcrion acfivity.
The growth of the LIEP fund balance resulting from the eaplosion of construction activity and the
Council Fresident Bostrom
September 18, 2000

ao - �sY
efficiencies produced by ECLIPS/AMANDA, made it possible to offer the reduction in permit fees
for new housing construction in support of the City's Housing Initiative. We were cautious in
offering the reduction, that is why we asked that it be approved as a one yeaz pilot progrun, and
reviewed annually to make sure that we don't exceed available resources.
Last year when the City Councii approved the initial permit reduction ordinance, Councilmember
Coleman also asked for information on the total cost of permit activities, and we pzovided a complete
report to the Financial Services Office in May, in preparation for the City Council's review of our
2001 budget request. The report prepared by LIEP accountant Sheila Reed is also attached for your
information. Briefly, Ms. Reed's report confirius that pexmit costs remain slighfly under revenues.
The matgin, which is 5%, is the minimai acceptable limit for an operation of this nature.
We hope that this information is sufficient to answer your questions, if not we are available to
provide any additional information that you need.

I am happy, once again, to report a record year in the total value of construcrion activity in 1999,
the fifth consecutive record-setting year. 1999 also marks the second straight yeaz of pemut
valuation in excess of a half billion dollars. I want to recognize and commend LIEP staff for
managing the increased workload during these past five years, and thank them in advance for the
continued commitment required during the upcoming year, which we also predict will be a
record breaker.

CITY OF SAINT PAUL
INTERDEPARTSv1�NTAL MEMORANDUM
September 18, 2000
To: Council President Daniel Bostrom
City Councilmembers
Fr: Robert Kessler, LIEP Director �
Re: The Cost of Inspecrions-1999
As you lmow, construction activity in the City continues at a record pace. 1999 was the fifth record
year in a row with double digit increases in the number ofpermits, inspections, valuations, and
revenues (see attached LIEP Annual Permit Report). Unti11949, LIEP staff had been able to handle
the increased work load through efficiencies, working smarter, and the use of a number of part time
and temporary inspectors, and support staff. In 1999, it was necessary for us to add one plan reviewer
and a building inspector to keep pace with the increase in the number of permits and inspections.
These two positions, plus the Project Facilitator II position in the 2000 budget, are the only increases
in the total complement of LIEP staff since the Office was created in 1992, outside of the transfer of
three PED staff in 1995, who came with the transfer of the responsibiliries for site plan review,
heritage preservation, and staffing the Board of Zoning Appeals). You may recall thaY these services
were provided by PED with 5 and a half fuli time sta£f, while LIEP absarbed the responsibilities with
the transfer of only three (3) FTE's.
When we completed the vision for the redesigned Office with the help of Rita Kidd in 1994, we noted
that the new computer system would improve the efficiency of back office operations by
approximately 80 to 90%, front counter operations by about 50°/a, and field work by only 10 to 15%.
The creation of the ECLIPSf AMANDA system has improved our "in office" processing efficiency
and capacity, but it obviously can not perform inspections and solve problems in the field where our
mission critical work takes place. Pield staff provide our direct services, the rest of us who work in
the Office are here primatily to support the field inspectors.
Since 1944, our overali workload increased by more than 150% while ow staff complement has
increased by only 6°l0, (3% if you don't count the staff h'ansferred from PED who brought substanrial
new responsibiliries with them 3n 1995). In 2001, we have requested the addition of several new field
and staff support positions, to keep pace with the increase in overall construction activity and the
specific increase in housing construction anticipated in response to the City's Housing Izufiative.
In budgetary terms, we have exceeded revenue projections each of the last five years while keeping
expenditures under authorized amounts. Even with the Housing Initiative fee reduction and the
modest increase in staff, we believe that we will remain within our revenue projections. Even if we
do exceed budgeted revenues, we can tap the LIEP fixnd balance, which has grown to more than $2.4
uullion at the end of 1999. According to our budget analysts and sound accounting practices LIEP
shoutd maintain at least a 40°to fund balance, which is appro�cunately $1.9 million, in order to
complete projects already approved if there is a downtum in the growth of construcrion activity.
The growth of the LIEP fund balance resulting from the explosion of construction activity and the
Council President Bostrom
September 18, 2000

efficiencies produced by ECLIPS/�1MANDA, made it possible to offer the reduction in permit fees
for new housing conshucrion in support of the City's I-Iousing Initiative. We were cautious in
offering the reduction, that is why we asked that it be apgroved as a one year pilot program, and
reviewed annually to make sure that we don't exceed available resources.
Last year when tUe City Council approved the initial permit reduction ordinance, Councilmember
Coleman also asked for information on the total cost of permit activities, and we provided a complete
report to the Financial Services Office in May, in preparation for the City Council's review of our
2001 budget request. The report prepared by LIEP accountant Sheila Reed is also attached for your
informafion. Briefly, Ms. Reed's report confirms that permit costs remaiu slightly under revenues.
The mazgin, which is 5%, is the m;n;ma1 acceptable limit for an operation of this nature.
We hope that this information is sufficient to answer your questions, if not we are available to
provide any additianal information that you need.

I am happy, once again, to report a record year in the total value of construction activity in 1999,
the fifth consecutive record-setting year. 1999 also marks the second straight year of permit
valuation in excess of a half billion dollars. I want to recognize and commend LIEP staff for
managing the increased workload during these past five years, and thank them in advance for the
continued commitment required during the upcoming year, which we also predict will be a
record breaker.
Highlights of the 1999 report include:

Committee: Date
Resolution requesting LIEP to provide the City
Council with a report as to whether the 50% reduction in
all housing-related permit fees, as embodied in Council File
#00-749, for new construction projects will cover City costs
in processing and inspecting said projects.
WIIEREAS, the City Council on September 13, 2000 approved and adopted, by amendment to Saint PauPs
Legislative Code Chapter 33.04 in Council File # 00-749, the continuation of a pilot program meant to increase
housing in Saint Paul by reducing the fees for alI housing-related permits for new construction by 50%;
WHEREAS, the City Council only exYendea this program to Decamber 31, 2000, rather than fiu•ther, because
of the Council's concern that the loss of revenue from the reduction in fees would negatively impact the resources
needed by the City to perforxn the work necessary to inspecting and processing the projects associated with the permits;
WHEREAS, the City Council needs information regarding the City's cost of inspecting and processing the
projects associated with the permits in order to evaluate whether the pilot program should be extended further;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: That the City Council requests LIEP to make a written report to the
Council at the City Council meeting on October 4, 2000 regarding the City's cost of inspecting, reviewing, and
otherwise processing the new construction projects associated with all housing-related permits and whether the reduced
fees for these projects will cover such City costs.

Re: The Cost of Inspections-1999
A s you laiow, conshuction activity in the City continues at a record pace. 1949 was the fifth record
year in a row with double digit increases in the number of permits, inspections, valuations, and
revenues (see attached LIEP Annual Permit Report}. Until 1999, LIEP staff had been able to handle
the increased work load through efficiencies, working smarter, and the use of a number of part time
and temporary u�spectors, and support staff. In 1999, it was necessary for us to add one plan reviewer
and a building inspector to keep pace with the increase in the number of pernuts and inspections.
These two positions, plus the Project Facilitator II position in the 2000 budget, are the only increases
in the total complement of LIEP staff since the Office was created in 1992, outside of the transfer of
three PED staff in 1995, who came with the transfer of tkte responsibilities for site plan review,
heritage preservarion, and staffing the Boazd ofZoning Appeals). Yau may recall that these services
were provided by PED with 5 and a half full time staff, while LTEP absorbed the responsibiliries with
the transfer of only three (3) FTE's.
When we compieted the vision for the redesigned Office with the help of Rita Kidd in 1994, we noted
that the new computer system would improve the efficiency ofback office operations by
approximately 80 to 90%, front counter operations by about 50%, and fieid work by only 10 to 15%.
The creation of the ECLIPSJAMANDA system has unproved our "in office" processing efficiency
and capacity, but it obviously can not perform inspections and solve problems in the field where our
mission critical work takes pIace. Field staffprovide our direct services, the rest of us who work in
the Office are here primarily to support the field inspectors.
Since 1994, our overall workload increased by more than 150% while our staff complement has
increased by only 6%, (3% if you dou't count the staff transferred from PED who brought suhstantial
new responsibilities with them in 1995). In 2001, we have requested the addition of several new field
and staff support positions, to keep pace with the increase in overall construction activity and the
specific increase in housing construction anticipated in response to the City's Housing Initiative.
In budgetary terms, we have �ceeded revenue projections each of the last five years while keeping
expenditures under authorized amounts. Even with the Housing Iniriative fee reduction and the
modest increase in staff, we believe that we will remain wiUun our revenue projections. Even if we
do exceed budgeted revenues, we can tap the LIEP fund balance, which has grown to more than $2.4
million at the end of 1999. According to our budget analysts and sound accounting practices LIEP
should maintain at least a 40% fund balance, which is approximately $1.9 million, in order to
complete projects already approved if there is a downturn in the growth of construcrion acfivity.
The growth of the LIEP fund balance resulting from the eaplosion of construction activity and the
Council Fresident Bostrom
September 18, 2000
Page 2
ao - �sY
efficiencies produced by ECLIPS/AMANDA, made it possible to offer the reduction in permit fees
for new housing construction in support of the City's Housing Initiative. We were cautious in
offering the reduction, that is why we asked that it be approved as a one yeaz pilot progrun, and
reviewed annually to make sure that we don't exceed available resources.
Last year when the City Councii approved the initial permit reduction ordinance, Councilmember
Coleman also asked for information on the total cost of permit activities, and we pzovided a complete
report to the Financial Services Office in May, in preparation for the City Council's review of our
2001 budget request. The report prepared by LIEP accountant Sheila Reed is also attached for your
information. Briefly, Ms. Reed's report confirius that pexmit costs remain slighfly under revenues.
The matgin, which is 5%, is the minimai acceptable limit for an operation of this nature.
We hope that this information is sufficient to answer your questions, if not we are available to
provide any additional information that you need.

I am happy, once again, to report a record year in the total value of construcrion activity in 1999,
the fifth consecutive record-setting year. 1999 also marks the second straight yeaz of pemut
valuation in excess of a half billion dollars. I want to recognize and commend LIEP staff for
managing the increased workload during these past five years, and thank them in advance for the
continued commitment required during the upcoming year, which we also predict will be a
record breaker.
Highlights of the 1999 report include:
Nnmber of permits issued
Fees collected for permits
Valnation of work

CITY OF SAINT PAUL
INTERDEPARTSv1�NTAL MEMORANDUM
September 18, 2000
To: Council President Daniel Bostrom
City Councilmembers
Fr: Robert Kessler, LIEP Director �
Re: The Cost of Inspecrions-1999
As you lmow, construction activity in the City continues at a record pace. 1999 was the fifth record
year in a row with double digit increases in the number ofpermits, inspections, valuations, and
revenues (see attached LIEP Annual Permit Report). Unti11949, LIEP staff had been able to handle
the increased work load through efficiencies, working smarter, and the use of a number of part time
and temporary inspectors, and support staff. In 1999, it was necessary for us to add one plan reviewer
and a building inspector to keep pace with the increase in the number of permits and inspections.
These two positions, plus the Project Facilitator II position in the 2000 budget, are the only increases
in the total complement of LIEP staff since the Office was created in 1992, outside of the transfer of
three PED staff in 1995, who came with the transfer of the responsibiliries for site plan review,
heritage preservation, and staffing the Board of Zoning Appeals). You may recall thaY these services
were provided by PED with 5 and a half fuli time sta£f, while LIEP absarbed the responsibilities with
the transfer of only three (3) FTE's.
When we completed the vision for the redesigned Office with the help of Rita Kidd in 1994, we noted
that the new computer system would improve the efficiency of back office operations by
approximately 80 to 90%, front counter operations by about 50°/a, and field work by only 10 to 15%.
The creation of the ECLIPSf AMANDA system has improved our "in office" processing efficiency
and capacity, but it obviously can not perform inspections and solve problems in the field where our
mission critical work takes place. Pield staff provide our direct services, the rest of us who work in
the Office are here primatily to support the field inspectors.
Since 1944, our overali workload increased by more than 150% while ow staff complement has
increased by only 6°l0, (3% if you don't count the staff h'ansferred from PED who brought substanrial
new responsibiliries with them 3n 1995). In 2001, we have requested the addition of several new field
and staff support positions, to keep pace with the increase in overall construction activity and the
specific increase in housing construction anticipated in response to the City's Housing Izufiative.
In budgetary terms, we have exceeded revenue projections each of the last five years while keeping
expenditures under authorized amounts. Even with the Housing Initiative fee reduction and the
modest increase in staff, we believe that we will remain within our revenue projections. Even if we
do exceed budgeted revenues, we can tap the LIEP fixnd balance, which has grown to more than $2.4
uullion at the end of 1999. According to our budget analysts and sound accounting practices LIEP
shoutd maintain at least a 40°to fund balance, which is appro�cunately $1.9 million, in order to
complete projects already approved if there is a downtum in the growth of construcrion activity.
The growth of the LIEP fund balance resulting from the explosion of construction activity and the
Council President Bostrom

efficiencies produced by ECLIPS/�1MANDA, made it possible to offer the reduction in permit fees
for new housing conshucrion in support of the City's I-Iousing Initiative. We were cautious in
offering the reduction, that is why we asked that it be apgroved as a one year pilot program, and
reviewed annually to make sure that we don't exceed available resources.
Last year when tUe City Council approved the initial permit reduction ordinance, Councilmember
Coleman also asked for information on the total cost of permit activities, and we provided a complete
report to the Financial Services Office in May, in preparation for the City Council's review of our
2001 budget request. The report prepared by LIEP accountant Sheila Reed is also attached for your
informafion. Briefly, Ms. Reed's report confirms that permit costs remaiu slightly under revenues.
The mazgin, which is 5%, is the m;n;ma1 acceptable limit for an operation of this nature.
We hope that this information is sufficient to answer your questions, if not we are available to
provide any additianal information that you need.

I am happy, once again, to report a record year in the total value of construction activity in 1999,
the fifth consecutive record-setting year. 1999 also marks the second straight year of permit
valuation in excess of a half billion dollars. I want to recognize and commend LIEP staff for
managing the increased workload during these past five years, and thank them in advance for the
continued commitment required during the upcoming year, which we also predict will be a
record breaker.

Committee: Date
Resolution requesting LIEP to provide the City
Council with a report as to whether the 50% reduction in
all housing-related permit fees, as embodied in Council File
#00-749, for new construction projects will cover City costs
in processing and inspecting said projects.
WIIEREAS, the City Council on September 13, 2000 approved and adopted, by amendment to Saint PauPs
Legislative Code Chapter 33.04 in Council File # 00-749, the continuation of a pilot program meant to increase
housing in Saint Paul by reducing the fees for alI housing-related permits for new construction by 50%;
WHEREAS, the City Council only exYendea this program to Decamber 31, 2000, rather than fiu•ther, because
of the Council's concern that the loss of revenue from the reduction in fees would negatively impact the resources
needed by the City to perforxn the work necessary to inspecting and processing the projects associated with the permits;
WHEREAS, the City Council needs information regarding the City's cost of inspecting and processing the
projects associated with the permits in order to evaluate whether the pilot program should be extended further;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: That the City Council requests LIEP to make a written report to the
Council at the City Council meeting on October 4, 2000 regarding the City's cost of inspecting, reviewing, and
otherwise processing the new construction projects associated with all housing-related permits and whether the reduced
fees for these projects will cover such City costs.

Re: The Cost of Inspections-1999
A s you laiow, conshuction activity in the City continues at a record pace. 1949 was the fifth record
year in a row with double digit increases in the number of permits, inspections, valuations, and
revenues (see attached LIEP Annual Permit Report}. Until 1999, LIEP staff had been able to handle
the increased work load through efficiencies, working smarter, and the use of a number of part time
and temporary u�spectors, and support staff. In 1999, it was necessary for us to add one plan reviewer
and a building inspector to keep pace with the increase in the number of pernuts and inspections.
These two positions, plus the Project Facilitator II position in the 2000 budget, are the only increases
in the total complement of LIEP staff since the Office was created in 1992, outside of the transfer of
three PED staff in 1995, who came with the transfer of tkte responsibilities for site plan review,
heritage preservarion, and staffing the Boazd ofZoning Appeals). Yau may recall that these services
were provided by PED with 5 and a half full time staff, while LTEP absorbed the responsibiliries with
the transfer of only three (3) FTE's.
When we compieted the vision for the redesigned Office with the help of Rita Kidd in 1994, we noted
that the new computer system would improve the efficiency ofback office operations by
approximately 80 to 90%, front counter operations by about 50%, and fieid work by only 10 to 15%.
The creation of the ECLIPSJAMANDA system has unproved our "in office" processing efficiency
and capacity, but it obviously can not perform inspections and solve problems in the field where our
mission critical work takes pIace. Field staffprovide our direct services, the rest of us who work in
the Office are here primarily to support the field inspectors.
Since 1994, our overall workload increased by more than 150% while our staff complement has
increased by only 6%, (3% if you dou't count the staff transferred from PED who brought suhstantial
new responsibilities with them in 1995). In 2001, we have requested the addition of several new field
and staff support positions, to keep pace with the increase in overall construction activity and the
specific increase in housing construction anticipated in response to the City's Housing Initiative.
In budgetary terms, we have �ceeded revenue projections each of the last five years while keeping
expenditures under authorized amounts. Even with the Housing Iniriative fee reduction and the
modest increase in staff, we believe that we will remain wiUun our revenue projections. Even if we
do exceed budgeted revenues, we can tap the LIEP fund balance, which has grown to more than $2.4
million at the end of 1999. According to our budget analysts and sound accounting practices LIEP
should maintain at least a 40% fund balance, which is approximately $1.9 million, in order to
complete projects already approved if there is a downturn in the growth of construcrion acfivity.
The growth of the LIEP fund balance resulting from the eaplosion of construction activity and the

efficiencies produced by ECLIPS/AMANDA, made it possible to offer the reduction in permit fees
for new housing construction in support of the City's Housing Initiative. We were cautious in
offering the reduction, that is why we asked that it be approved as a one yeaz pilot progrun, and
reviewed annually to make sure that we don't exceed available resources.
Last year when the City Councii approved the initial permit reduction ordinance, Councilmember
Coleman also asked for information on the total cost of permit activities, and we pzovided a complete
report to the Financial Services Office in May, in preparation for the City Council's review of our
2001 budget request. The report prepared by LIEP accountant Sheila Reed is also attached for your
information. Briefly, Ms. Reed's report confirius that pexmit costs remain slighfly under revenues.
The matgin, which is 5%, is the minimai acceptable limit for an operation of this nature.
We hope that this information is sufficient to answer your questions, if not we are available to
provide any additional information that you need.

I am happy, once again, to report a record year in the total value of construcrion activity in 1999,
the fifth consecutive record-setting year. 1999 also marks the second straight yeaz of pemut
valuation in excess of a half billion dollars. I want to recognize and commend LIEP staff for
managing the increased workload during these past five years, and thank them in advance for the
continued commitment required during the upcoming year, which we also predict will be a
record breaker.
Highlights of the 1999 report include:
Nnmber of permits issued
Fees collected for permits
Valnation of work
1994
29,996
$4,733,875
$605,666,791

CITY OF SAINT PAUL
INTERDEPARTSv1�NTAL MEMORANDUM
September 18, 2000
To: Council President Daniel Bostrom
City Councilmembers
Fr: Robert Kessler, LIEP Director �
Re: The Cost of Inspecrions-1999
As you lmow, construction activity in the City continues at a record pace. 1999 was the fifth record
year in a row with double digit increases in the number ofpermits, inspections, valuations, and
revenues (see attached LIEP Annual Permit Report). Unti11949, LIEP staff had been able to handle
the increased work load through efficiencies, working smarter, and the use of a number of part time
and temporary inspectors, and support staff. In 1999, it was necessary for us to add one plan reviewer
and a building inspector to keep pace with the increase in the number of permits and inspections.
These two positions, plus the Project Facilitator II position in the 2000 budget, are the only increases
in the total complement of LIEP staff since the Office was created in 1992, outside of the transfer of
three PED staff in 1995, who came with the transfer of the responsibiliries for site plan review,
heritage preservation, and staffing the Board of Zoning Appeals). You may recall thaY these services
were provided by PED with 5 and a half fuli time sta£f, while LIEP absarbed the responsibilities with
the transfer of only three (3) FTE's.
When we completed the vision for the redesigned Office with the help of Rita Kidd in 1994, we noted
that the new computer system would improve the efficiency of back office operations by
approximately 80 to 90%, front counter operations by about 50°/a, and field work by only 10 to 15%.
The creation of the ECLIPSf AMANDA system has improved our "in office" processing efficiency
and capacity, but it obviously can not perform inspections and solve problems in the field where our
mission critical work takes place. Pield staff provide our direct services, the rest of us who work in
the Office are here primatily to support the field inspectors.
Since 1944, our overali workload increased by more than 150% while ow staff complement has
increased by only 6°l0, (3% if you don't count the staff h'ansferred from PED who brought substanrial
new responsibiliries with them 3n 1995). In 2001, we have requested the addition of several new field
and staff support positions, to keep pace with the increase in overall construction activity and the
specific increase in housing construction anticipated in response to the City's Housing Izufiative.
In budgetary terms, we have exceeded revenue projections each of the last five years while keeping
expenditures under authorized amounts. Even with the Housing Initiative fee reduction and the
modest increase in staff, we believe that we will remain within our revenue projections. Even if we
do exceed budgeted revenues, we can tap the LIEP fixnd balance, which has grown to more than $2.4
uullion at the end of 1999. According to our budget analysts and sound accounting practices LIEP
shoutd maintain at least a 40°to fund balance, which is appro�cunately $1.9 million, in order to
complete projects already approved if there is a downtum in the growth of construcrion activity.
The growth of the LIEP fund balance resulting from the explosion of construction activity and the
Council President Bostrom

efficiencies produced by ECLIPS/�1MANDA, made it possible to offer the reduction in permit fees
for new housing conshucrion in support of the City's I-Iousing Initiative. We were cautious in
offering the reduction, that is why we asked that it be apgroved as a one year pilot program, and
reviewed annually to make sure that we don't exceed available resources.
Last year when tUe City Council approved the initial permit reduction ordinance, Councilmember
Coleman also asked for information on the total cost of permit activities, and we provided a complete
report to the Financial Services Office in May, in preparation for the City Council's review of our
2001 budget request. The report prepared by LIEP accountant Sheila Reed is also attached for your
informafion. Briefly, Ms. Reed's report confirms that permit costs remaiu slightly under revenues.
The mazgin, which is 5%, is the m;n;ma1 acceptable limit for an operation of this nature.
We hope that this information is sufficient to answer your questions, if not we are available to
provide any additianal information that you need.

I am happy, once again, to report a record year in the total value of construction activity in 1999,
the fifth consecutive record-setting year. 1999 also marks the second straight year of permit
valuation in excess of a half billion dollars. I want to recognize and commend LIEP staff for
managing the increased workload during these past five years, and thank them in advance for the
continued commitment required during the upcoming year, which we also predict will be a
record breaker.
Highlights of the 1999 report include:
