,..... (a) It is the intent of the City 'Council to ascertain and recover the specified percentages of full
costs from fees, charges, and regulatory license fees levied in providing the regulation, products,
....... or services set forth in this Chapter.
(b) The fee and service charge revenue/cost comparison system set forth in this Chapter
provides a mechanism for ensuring that fees adopted by the City for services rendered do not
exceed the reasonable estimated cost for providing the services.
(c) It is the intent of the City Council to achieve a more equitable and fair mix for fmancing
services set forth in this Chapter in order to reduce or eliminate subsidizing these services with
general tax revenue; thereby, allowing those general tax revenues to be used for general services,
including infrastructure maintenance and replacement.
Section 35.82 Delegation of Authority and Direction to the City Manager
(a) The City Manager is hereby delegated the authority and directed to provide documents to the
City Council to implement its policy to adjust fees and charges to recover the percentage of full I
costs as established in this Chapter.
(b) The City Manager is hereby delegated authority to issue Orders defining terms, setting out
administrative, fee collection, and fmancial procedures, definitions, and establishing effective
dates of all fees set by the City Council by Ordinance. All Orders shall be signed by the affected
,..... department head, shall be signed by the Director of Finance certifying the financial
requirements of this Chapter have been met, and shall be signed by the City Manager specifying
...... the effective date of the Order.
(c) "Full Costs" shall be as defmed in Section 35.80. In adjusting fees and charges, the City
Manager shall act in an administrative and ministerial capacity and shall consider only the
standards and criteria established by this Chapter and the applicable State laws. All Orders

by the City Council.
Section 35.83 Schedule of Fees and Service Charges
(a) The City Manager, Director of Finance, and each City department head, under the direction
of the City Manager, shall review annually the fees and service charges listed in Appendix A-
Schedule of Fees and Service Charges, and provide an adjusted fee or charge schedule to the
City Council for its consideration so as to recover the listed percentage of full costs necessary
to provide the listed regulation, product or service as modified by the "notes" following the list
of services. These fees, unless otherwise specified, are for City of Dublin services and are in
addition to any charges made by any other governmental agencies.
(b) The services as listed in this Section shall be as defmed in the document entitled "Cost
Control Study for the City of Dublin, Ohio," dated May 1996, as produced by the City of
....... Dublin.
...... (c) All fees and charges set pursuant to this Chapter and Section shall take effect as specified
in each Order.
(d) The City Manager may vary the review schedule listed in the Section if, in the judgement of
the City Manager and a directly affected and requesting department head, a gross inequity would
be perpetrated by not revising a fee or charge prior to the next rate review. Any such special
rate review shall be reported to the City Council at its next succeeding meeting where the City
Council may revise the fee or charge by Ordinance.

.... Subject: Changes/Modifications Made to Ordinance 52-96 (Amended) Subsequent to Comments
Made by City Council at the July 1, 1996 Meeting
Date: July 15, 1996
-
We have addressed the comments made by City Council at its July 1 meeting with regard to Ordinance 52-
96 (Amended.) To provide clarity and better readability, the following changes/modifications have been
made:
. On page 2, Section 35.83(a) of the Ordinance, the title of Appendix A, which is the Schedule of
Fees and Service Charges, has been added to the text.
. Appendix B, which is a detailed listing offees for S-043 Building Inspection-Residential and S-044
Building Inspection-Commercial (see page 5), has been re-titled to Appendix A-I to better refle~t
that it is a sub-set of Appendix A.
. Per suggestion of the Clerk of Council, the appendices were removed from Ordinance paper and
printed on plain paper.
Several changes have been made to S-109 Special Events & Performance Coordination (see page 7.)
. It was noted that there should not be a per hour building inspection fee for special events (i.e. tents
-
and other temporary structures) because those inspections should be covered under some type of
building permit or temporary structure permit. After review by the Division of Building, it was
- found that no such permit had been identified. After consideration, it was determined that a $50
flat fee would be identified for a temporary structure permit. Activity for this permit will be
monitored during the year, and re-reviewed for the next Cost Study Update. On page 7 of the
Ordinance, under S-109 Special Events & Performance Coordination, the $58/hr fee for building
inspection has been stricken, and Note 22 has been inserted in its place to reference the $50 flat fee.
A cross-reference has been made for this fee on page 13 under the list of building inspection fees.
. The Finance Committee had recommended a two-tiered fee schedule for special event fees so that
a 50% discount could be given to Dublin non-profit 501(c)(3) groups. During the City Council
meeting, discussion ensued as to the appropriateness of such criteria. After consideration, the
Ordinance has been modified to state that cost recovery of 50% of the fully burdened hourly rate
of the cost of labor, plus full recovery of any out-of-pocket costs and other direct costs may be
charged for recognized, tax-exempt, non-profit organizations at the discretion of the Finance
Committee.
Should you have any questions or concerns with regard to this Ordinance, please do not hesitate to contact
the Department of Finance.

- Subject: Status of Cost Study Update
Ordinance 52-96 (Amended)
Date: July 1, 1996
The Finance Committee has completed its two scheduled Cost Study Workshops and have performed
a detailed review of the Cost Study Update Worksheets. A Summary Sheet of recommended changes
from the most recent Workshop; June 18, 1996, along "vith a draft of the Minutes is attached for
your review. There were several items pending from that meeting, and those items have been re-
reviewed and addressed in the Summary Sheet. Also attached are the Recap Sheets which were
provided during the Workshops for each Division's fees. For your convenience, an additional column
has been added to the Recap Sheets showing the changes that were made by the Finance Committee,
and its recommendations.
The original Ordinance 52-96 was prepared to establish the percentage of recovery desired for City-
provided services. A later Ordinance was to be completed which would set the actual fees based on
the percentage of recovery approved by City Council. During the Workshops, there were discussions
with regard to the advantages of combining these two Ordinances. This has been completed, and the
1iIM"J""'" amended Ordinance 52-96, attached, reflects this change. Upon approval, the new fees will be
effective on January 1, 1997.
..~ The Department of Finance would like to take this opportunity to thank the Finance Committee for
all its effort and time spent to bring this project to a successful completion.
Should you have any questions or concerns with regard to this information, please do not hesitate to

- Subject: Additional Information for Ordinance 52-96 With Regard to Special Event Fees
Date: July 23, 1996
-
During the July 15 meeting of City Council, Ordinance 52-96 was referred to the Finance Committee for
further discussion of a tiered schedule for special event fees. One of the issues discussed during the City
Council meeting was the tax-exempt status of some of the organizations that participate in the City's
Hotel/Motel Tax Grant Program. We pulled current files for some of these organizations to determine their
current tax status so that we could provide this information to you for your review.
Organization Tax-Exempt Status

Note: According to the IRS forms, an organizations tax-exempt status is conditional and can be changed at

Additional Information:
Tax-exempt status is the most favorable position under the IRS Code. It is available to various classes of non-
profit organizations by way of Code Section 501 (a), which sets a range of tax exemptions. All tax-exempt
organizations are contained in IRS Code Section 501. Exemption as a Code Section 501(c)(3) organization
