Commissioner Fletcher asked the County Attorney about <br />the State Statute which says that the amount of the building <br />fee shall not exceed 20 of the cost of the building, and <br />Attorney Brandenburg stated that he has not checked the <br />figures, but he believed that section of the law can be <br />narrowly construed as pertaining to only a portion of the <br />fees in the proposed resolution. <br />Mr. Nason informed the Board that the Treasure Coast <br />Builders Association is not opposed to the proposed <br />Resolution. <br />Lengthy discussion ensued regarding clarification of <br />the City's share in the figures presented by Mr. Nason. Mr. <br />Nason explained in detail how he handled the two transfer <br />amounts, the deductions made to get to a common base, and <br />the need to generate $50,000 to replace five cars over the <br />next two years. <br />Commissioner Fletcher asked if we are going to continue <br />the practice of using excess funds for this purpose, and <br />Chairman Scurlock did not believe the money generated by the <br />new fees should be considered excess funds since it actually <br />is payment for services rendered. <br />It was noted that at budgettime, it was generally felt <br />that $25,000 was a reasonable chargeback for the adminis- <br />trative overhead involved in administering this program. <br />Mr. Nason concurred that the rationale was that there <br />were certain portions of the County Planning function which <br />were not revenue producing. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Laodtke, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Bird, Commissioner Lyons <br />being absent and Commissioner Fletcher voting <br />in opposition, the Board by a 3 to 1 vote <br />adopted Resolution 82-139 revising the schedule <br />of Building Permit Fees and Charges. <br />112 <br />DEC 15 1982 <br />
