Clarification of Request 10-30-2013
From: Kathy Windrem [[email protected]]
Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2013 9:40 AM
Subject: RE: Addendum to Application 2013-013 - Very Merry Main Street
After a meeting yesterday with Margaret Silveira and some of our committee for Very Merry Main Street, I wish to
clarify our reasons for requesting the longer time of closing Main Street. We will feature arts & crafts activities for
children, offered by local nonprofits and some businesses, which we will set up in Main Street. Our greatest concern is
for the safety of the children, and we thought that by closing the street for a longer time (prior to the parade closure),
we would ensure the safety of children and others who are attending the event.
We are now more aware of how inconvenient it is to close the streets on that day, due to City furloughs and the
holiday week-end. I hope that our committee will consider other options for next years event. We will work with the
City on ideas.

STAFF REPORT
RE: Adoption of Fee Resolution for Administrative CitationAppeal Application
MEETING DATE: 11/05/2013
SUBMITTED BY: Andrew Britton, Planning Services Manager
PURPOSE OF REPORT: Information only Discussion Action Item
WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL/AGENCY/BOARD:
The City Council is asked to adopt a fee resolution to establish an application fee for consideration of anappeal of an administrative citation.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council adopted Ordinance No. 888 in February 2013 which established regulations regarding theissuance of administrative citations for violations of the Lakeport Municipal Code as well as related appealprocedures. The Ordinance is incorporated into Chapters 8.30 and 8.31 of the Municipal Code.
Municipal Code Section 8.30.110 states that a filing fee for an appeal of an administrative citation is to beestablished by City Council resolution.
DISCUSSION:
Staff has prepared a draft fee resolution for the Councils review (Exhibit 1). As described in the draftresolution, processing this type of appeal application will require several hours of cumulative staff time andcosts associated with the use of an independent hearing officer. According to an analysis prepared by theFinance Director (Exhibit 2), the estimated cost to the City will total approximately $488. This estimate wasbased on the current personnel charge-out rates. However, staff believes that imposing a $488.00 +/-appeal fee is unreasonable and would unfairly discourage someone seeking relief from a fine associated withan administrative citation.
The draft fee resolution therefore suggests an application fee of $200.00 to cover a substantial portion of theCitys estimated costs. The draft resolution also includes an annual cost of living adjustment.
OPTIONS:
1. Approve and adopt the fee resolution that will establish a fee for the processing and consideration of anappeal of an administrative citation.
2. Do not approve but provide direction to staff.
FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impacts are anticipated as a result of the proposed fee resolution. The proposed fee is intended torecover a substantial portion of the City's direct costs associated with processing an appeal application.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
Move that the City Council adopt the fee resolution to establish an application fee for consideration of anappeal of an administrative citation.
