POLICE DEPARTMENT 2003-2004

FEES AND CHARGES

COUNCIL DISTRICT: City-wide

SNI AREA: N/A

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution amending the 2003-2004 Schedule of Fees and Charges for the Police Department to reflect updated costs related to Card Table Fee and maintain 100% cost-recovery for this fee category.

BACKGROUND

The 2003-2004 Fees and Charges Resolution was adopted by the City Council in June 2003. Recent staffing changes in the Police Department’s oversight of cardrooms require an adjustment in the Card Table Fee to maintain full cost recovery.

ANALYSIS

The current Card Table Fee was based on the assumption that the functions of a Supervising Auditor position would continue to be performed by a Finance Department staff member on a part-time basis. The Supervising Auditor position has recently been filled and the costs of the Program need to be revised to reflect full-time staffing. To maintain 100% cost-recovery, it is recommended that the Card Table Fee be updated to reflect the appropriate 2003-2004 staffing for the Cardroom Team. The following tables compare the Card Table Fee as it currently appears in the Fees and Charges Report with the recommended correct fee:

Cardrooms

The following change to the Cardroom Table Fee (page 116 of the Report) is recommended.
