Interdepartmental Memorandum
To: Margazet Kelly, Finance Director
08 -�a-a�
From: Chris Eitemiller, Sr. Budget Analyst�
Subject: Increase to Right of Way Pernut fee in Traffic Fund—requires public hearing
Date: October 10, 2008
The attached resolution would ailow the Public Works department to increase the "Excavation/
Obstruction" permit fee structure. This fee covers the City's costs (for administration, inspection and
records) associated with sidewalk degradation, obstruction (dumpsters, oversized vehicles, etc.) and
disruption associated with Right of Way roadwork. This fee is updated annually to reflect the
anticipated workload for the coming year.
A public heazing is required to increase this fee. It will be on the agenda November 5`
This proposal seems reasonable, I recommend signing.
