MTAS performed a management evaluation of the Building and Zoning Department for the City of Lakesite. The management evaluation revealed a significant disparity existed between plan review, permitting and inspection fee revenues and associated expenditures. The governing body expressed desire for development to more adequately cover expenditures through adjustments that would be needed in the current fee schedule. Because of the significant disparity that existed, MTAS recommended a multi-year approach be undertaken to adjust fees incrementally each year following performing a financial analysis to determine the effectiveness of prior fee schedule adjustments in reducing the gap between revenues and expenditures. MTAS prepared a comparison exhibit illustrating the current fee schedule and the adjusted fee schedule to provide for a side-by-side comparison. MTAS also prepared an ordinance that contained the adjusted fee schedule as an exhibit. Adoption of the ordinance and subsequent ordinances to further adjust the fee schedules will provide the opportunity to increase plan review, permitting, and inspection fee revenues to more adequately cover corresponding expenditures for development related services.
