Exhibit B

Fee Schedule Updates 2014 City Manager' s Office Recommendations

1. 11.055 Sale of City Property

Delete from Fee Schedule- The fee is offset against the purchase price of the property and would cost more administratively to process than it generates. Any reimbursable City costs incurred in processing a sale of City property can be addressed through negotiations.

2. 11.100 Facade Improvement Program

Delete from Fee Schedule- The program has been discontinued and will not be reinstated for the foreseeable future. [If it is determined that the fee should be suspended rather than removed then responsibility for the fee should be moved from the City Manager's Office to the Community Development Department.)

3. 90.010 Airport Fees- Section II.E. (Gate Access Card Fees)

Defer the personnel compensation adjustment, if any, to the gate access card fee this fiscal year. -The majority of the gates have been inoperable since a lightning strike last year and it is unknown when they will be repaired. It is not prudent to apply an adjustment that would increase the fee for the gate access cards when the cards only work on two of six gates. The adjustment can be re-evaluated in 2015-16.
