General:

This memo presents the proposed 2023/2024 fiscal year fees and charges update for the Public Works/Building Department.

The building department has determined that certain building permits should be considered “Over the Counter” and priced at a predetermined cost rather than by the individual value of work. The predetermined cost includes automatic yearly increases or decreases and the fees/charges for Strong Motion Instrumentation Program (SMIP), Building Standards Commission (Revolving Fund), and Continuing Education.

Also within this proposed fee schedule is a fee for plan reviews beyond two plan checks due to incomplete, inaccurate, or changed plans, which has not previously been included. This fee will be charged based on the hourly rate of the highest paid building inspector for in-house plan checks and at the hourly rate of an outside plan check firm if the plans are routed to an outside plan checker. There is a one-hour minimum charge.

The “Pre-plan Check Fee Schedule” has been renamed “Plan Development Review Fee Schedule” for clarity. This fee has been previously included and is for review of plans that are still in development at the request of the permit applicant.

The proposed fee schedule includes automatic yearly increases or decreases. The increase or decrease in the established fee shall be adjusted pursuant to the percentage of increase or decrease found in the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index for the City of Los Angeles in March of each year.

7 New Strategic Planning Framework (updated in 2023)
Proposed Method: Identifying Missions, Objectives, and Key Results (OKRs) Terms:
• Missions: five goal areas for the City to pursue over the next five years • Objectives: The OKR framework starts with a goal. Cities can strive for ambitious goals like creating a vibrant, authentic, and pedestrian-friendly downtown. They can also set more immediately achievable goals, like Developing a volunteer program in the next year.
• Key Results/ Initiatives: Key results are metrics that the City can use to track goal fulfillment. Good OKRs feature frequent check-ins to review these key results and see if team members are on track to meet their set objectives. 8 Proposed City’s Missions (to be workshopped during the meeting with the City Council and the Public)
Mission 1: Building and Creating Community and Supporting Vibrant PedestrianFriendly City by investing in public spaces and supporting downtown events and activities.
