AGENDA ITEM
Regular Board of Trustees Meeting
of
December 9, 2008
SUBJECT: Amendment to Title 10 of the Village Code — Chapter 4 Building Regulations — Fees
i
FROM: Robert L. Kallien, Jr., AICP, Community Development Director
BUDGET SOURCE/BUDGET IMPACT: Estimated $85,000 of additional fees to be collected
in FY2009
RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move that the Village Board approve the recommended
changes to the Fee Schedule in Chapter 10 — Building Regulations and authorize the Village
Attorney to prepare the necessary ordinance for final consideration at the December 15, 2008
meeting.
Back%!round/History:
Beginning in 2001, the Village Board has approved annual updates to the fee schedule in Chapter
10 — Building Regulations relative to fees associated with new construction activities (e.g. permits,
plan review and inspections). At that time, the Board directed that Staff update the fee schedule
each year to ensure that a goal of cost recovery be met.
Proposed Update
Consistent with the Board's goal to cover Staff costs; the fee schedule applicable to our building
regulations has been updated. Since our estimated 2008 costs are proposed to increase by
approximately 5 percent, each of the individual fee amounts have been updated by that amount.
Some exceptions can be found where rounding was necessary or where the previous fee was found
to be insufficient to recover actual costs. As an example, the existing fees for working without a
permit or occupying a building prior to receiving occupancy are insufficient at $160 and are
proposed to be increased to $250.
A key addition to the proposed fee update is the creation of a fee to cover the costs of performing
reinspections that are associated with the Village's annual Fire inspection program. At the present
time, no fee is assessed for this program. The 2009 budget contains the proposal to transfer this
program from the Fire Department to the Community Development Department.

The framework for this fee program is as follows. Once the annual Fire inspection is conducted for
a building and /or tenant space, all outstanding violations would be noted and provided to the
responsible party. A 30 day period would be set for compliance. After 30 days, the required
reinspection would be made. If any outstanding issue continues to be in violation of the Building
Code, the responsible party would be assessed a $56 reinspection fee for each follow -up inspection.
If non - compliance exists beyond 90 days from the first correction notice, each subsequent
reinspection will be assessed the $56 fee plus an additional administrative fee of $100 until
compliance is achieved.
In fiscal year 2009, Staff estimates that approximately $60,000 of fees would be generated through
the Fire reinspection program. Also, because this will be the first year for this fee, Staff may
recommend some "fine- tuning" in FY2010 in order to address unforeseen administrative and /or
enforcement issues. Also, Staff will continue to evaluate alternatives that could be implemented to
recover the costs for the initial annual Fire inspections.
Staff is also proposing to establish an additional fee category that would provide cost recovery for
plan review time on spent on permits that have been submitted, but then are cancelled at the request
of the applicant.
Finally, Staff is proposing to delete Section 10 -1 -4 C. Certain Entities Permitted to Request Waiver
of Fees. The rationale for this change is that this issue already is addressed in Section 1 -14 -2 of the
Village Code titled "Waiver of Fees" which reads as follows:
"1 -14 -2: WAIVER OF FEES:
Notwithstanding any other provision in this code, the fees established within this chapter,
and plan review and inspection fees as required in this or other sections of this code, shall
be waived and not required, except for outside consulting charges, for:
A. Any municipal corporation;
B. Any homeowners' association organized as a not for profit corporation;
C. Any public utility whose franchise agreement states that it shall not pay said fees;
and
D. Any telecommunications retailer that is currently paying a telecommunications
infrastructure maintenance fee to the village.
Any charitable organization, as defined in an act to regulate solicitation and collection
of funds for charitable purposes, may request a waiver of fees established within this
chapter, and plan review and inspection fees as required in this or other sections of
this code, except for outside consulting charges. Upon such requests, the corporate
authorities of the village of Oak Brook may, in their discretion, waive any such fees
or charges by motion. (Ord. G -706, 11 -26 -2002; Ord. G -770, 12 -14- 2004"

Recommendation:
The revised fee schedule (see attached) recommended for your consideration will generate an
additional $85,000 of revenue and provide a mechanism to continue the Board's goal to cover the
costs of all Village staff involved in the review and approval processes related to new construction
as well as required inspections of existing development.
