CONSENT AGENDA
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
Staff requests that the Board of Supervisors approve a proposal provided by Willdan Financial Services to complete an updated User Fee Study for San Benito County. In 2006, MuniFinancial Corporation completed the Final Report (please see second attachment) detailing the User Fees of ten (10) County Departments.
Since that date, the Board approved the creation of the Resource Management Agency (RMA) that combined the Planning and Public Works Departments into one entity.
Willdan Financial Services is the consulting firm that is currently working on the update of the San Benito County Impact Fees Report, which is due for presentation to the Board within the next 60 - 90 days. Preliminary results of the Impact Fees will be made available to staff within the next two weeks.
In the interim, in an effort to maximize available revenue sources in accordance with all applicable California Government Code Statutes, staff is asking the Board to approve the attached proposal for completion of 176 total hours of work by Willdan Staff at a total cost of $24,925.00.
The timeline for completion is approximately four and one-half months with a Final Report scheduled for submission to the County in mid-July of 2017.
