_ FEES <br /> In 2005, a total of $43,816 in Table 2. Fee Revenue Collected 2ooe Fees <br /> fees was collected. The Babinski <br /> manufacturing building was $1 0.000 O 2004 Fees <br /> constructed and the Wilderness $9=0 <br /> Point application was submitted $s o00 <br /> in January, which accounting <br /> for most of the fee revenue that $7,000 <br /> month. The month of May had $s.o00 <br /> the most number of land use <br /> permit requests, mostly for new $5'0°° <br /> construction, additions, and $4.000 <br /> accessory structures.There were $s o00 <br /> also two preliminary plat <br /> applications, one final plat $200° <br /> application, and four lot splits $1.o00 <br /> filed in May. <br /> $0 <br /> LL W a 0 o a <br /> Overall, fees collected in 2005 o z S <br /> were similar to that collected in a <br /> 2004, being roughly $1,000 more in 2005. Except in the months of January, May, and <br /> November, the amount of fees collected each month in 2005 is comparable to collection <br /> \.. in 2004. These anomaly months are all due to large applications or disproportionate <br /> volume. <br /> With a decrease in the number of applications anticipated, and with the overall cost of <br /> the department increasing, the fee schedule is going to need to be adjusted to avoid a <br /> shortfall. The one-time application fees paid by Babinski and Lakes Bank should not be <br /> relied on for annual budgeting purposes. Even with these application fees, over-the- <br /> counter revenues dropped by approximately $6,000 in 2005. These revenues are used <br /> to cover the expenses of the day-to-day staff. While we at the Community Growth <br /> Institute adjusts our effort based on the workload (fewer applications means fewer <br /> expenses), the same is not true of day-to-day staff. Modest adjustments should be made <br /> to maintain the budget within the department. <br /> CITY 07-LQUOT LAKES y PLANNING AND ZONIV 3.:i05 REPORT <br />
