Resolution 12181CITY OF ALAMEDA RESOLUTION NO. 12181
ESTABLISHING FIXTURE FEES FOR PLUMBING PERMITS
AND MECHANICAL PERMITS
WHEREAS, the current fixture fees for Plumbing and
Mechanical permits were adopted by the City of Alameda in 1978; and
WHEREAS, in the last fourteen years fixture fees have not
been increased, however, City personnel costs have continued to
increase as a result of cost of living salary increases and the
need for more inspection hours as a result of more stringent Code
requirements; and
WHEREAS, the proposed fees represent an increase of
approximately sixty percent (60%) which corresponds to an annual
cost of living increase of approximately three and one half percent
(3.5%) over the last fourteen years and would result in an annual
revenue increase of approximately $15,000;
WHEREAS, the fee increase will bring Alameda's fees in
line with those charged in neighboring communities;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City
of Alameda that the City Council, by resolution, establish fixture
fees for Plumbing Permits and Mechanical Permits, as detailed on
the fee schedule attached hereto as Exhibit A.
