Re: Increase in rental dwelling license fee
Introduction
The purpose of this memorandum is to request the City Council to adopt the attached
resolution, increasing the rental dwelling license fee.
Discussion
Due to the requirement for the General Housing activity to be 45% self-supporting in the
FY06 operating budget, it is proposed that the license fee for operation of a rental
dwelling be increased, from $9.25 to $10.00 for each dwelling unit in a rental dwelling.
It is anticipated that this will add $5,600 to the operating budget for the Housing and
Community Development Department. This fee was previously raised beginning in
FY05, from $9.00 to $9.25.
Action Step
The action requested of the City Council is to approve the attached resolution,
increasing the rental dwelling license fee.
