Agenda Date Requested: Council Worksho-~-June 13 ,. 1984 <br />~ 2. XX REPORT; RESOLUTION; ORDINANCE <br />~ 3. PROJECT SUMMARY: Staff would like Council to consider budgeting <br /> for a cost recovery study for the City of La Porte in budget <br /> year 1984-'85. The proposed study will be designed to develop a <br />• program which will match revenue against expenses for <br /> departments, which have user charges, regulatory fees, license, <br /> and permits. The benefits derived from a study of this nature <br />~ are: (a) immediate recovery of additional revenue from <br /> increased user fees and (b) the City will have the knowledge of <br /> what the different fees cost. Thus the City can then set fees <br />~ at cost, or make an objective determination to subsidize an <br /> activity by charging fees that are lower than the cost of <br />~ service provided. <br /> 4. ACTION REQUIRED: Allow representative from firm of David M. <br /> Griffith to make short presentation on "How a Cost Recovery <br />~ Study could benefit the City of La Porte." <br /> 5. ALTERNATIVE: <br />~ <br /> 6.
