Shana Yelverton, City Manager
Sharen Jackson, Director of Finance
Resolution No. 06 -016, Amending Fee Schedule
Action Requested: City Council approval of Resolution No, 06 -016, amending the City Fee
Schedule
Background
Information: The following are the requested fee amendments:
Increase in ambulance transport fee from $300 to $855, According to an
article in Fort Worth Star Telegram. in January 2006, Keller, Bedford,
Colleyville, Euless and Richland Hills have all adopted an $855 transport
fee and Intermedix is currently providing professional services for the
cities, The article cited fees from 12 surrounding cities, with Southlake
being the lowest with a $300 transport fee and the highest fee was $1,115
for emergency transport. Our current transport fee of $300 only recovers
approximately 18.4% of the estimated cost per transport while if the
proposed fee of $855 is adopted our cost recovery would increase to
52.5 %.
New fee for comprehensive plan amendment applications. Historically, the
city has not charged for the applications, however with the increase in
applications and staff time required to process the application staff' is
recommending assessing the fee. Also, based on our survey of other cities
$300 is the lowest common fee.
Increase the off -duty hourly rate from $25 to $32.50 and add an
administrative fee of 10 %. Historically, the city had not charge an
administrative for the administration of the off-duty program, Due to the
time required to administer the program (billing, scheduling and processing
checks) staff is recommending add an administrative fee.
Financial
Considerations: The proposed amendments to the fee schedule include the following items:
■ Ambulance transport fee of $855 (increase from $300);
■ Comprehensive Plan Amendment (Map and/or Text) application (new fee);
■ Police off -duty $32.50 per hour plus 10% administrative fee (increase from
$25 per hour and new administrative fee)
