SUMMARY
Agenda Item No. ~~
SUBJECT AND ISSUE
Meeting Date: May 5, 2009
Consider adopting a resolution amending the fee schedule for 2009-10, Schedule D, Miscellaneous Items,
photovoltaic fees.
BACKGROUND
All user fees are reviewed each year in conjunction with the preparation of the budget. Our goal is to ensure
that to the extent possible fees cover the cost of providing services, or are competitive to market. Council
adopted fee increases at their April 7, 2009 meeting. During this meeting, Council requested that staff
research photovoltaic fees for commercial customers and bring back updated information.
Under the previously approved 2009-10 fee schedule, commercial customers will be charged $633 for
photovoltaic systems up to four kilowatts and $253 for each additional kilowatt. Customers with a typical
multi-family residential or commercial building of ~!4 kilowatts would be charged over $5,600. Under the
proposed amended fee, the same multi-family residential or commercial customer will be charged $505 for
buildings up to eight kilowatts and $7 for each additional kilowatt. Therefore, a 24 kilowatt system would
now cost only $617.
It is also proposed that fees for quasi public buildings be eliminated and incorporated under the multi-family
residential and commercial fee structure. Photovoltaic fees for quasi public buildings could be calculated
using the proposed amended rate and therefore the cost for a typical 24 kilowatt building would be reduced
to $617 rather than the previously approved fee of $1,162.
Fees covered in this amendment would become effective on July 1 with the entire 2009-10 fee schedule.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Council adopt a resolution amending the fee schedule for 2009-10, Schedule D,
Miscellaneous Items, photovoltaic fees.
