ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION Approve the Ordinance Amendment on Second Reading. ANAL YSIS In July 2003 Ordinance 2003-3422 was passed by the City Commission. This ordinance established fee increases for Certificate of Use Fees effective October 1 , 2004 (Fiscal Year 2004-05) by 10% and October 1, 2005 (Fiscal Year 2005-06) by another 10%. The increase for October 1,2006 (Fiscal Year 2006-07) was to be increased by a percentage equal to the cumulative change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) measured between March 2003 to September 2006. After the October 1, 2006 increase a subsequent review of the annual permit fee will be required whenever the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), between the latest CPI and the date of the CPI for the last fee adjustment, is five percent (5%) or greater. All Occupational Licenses expire on September 30th of each year. The license renewals are mailed out the first week in August of each year. This gives the licensee almost two months to remit payment for a license for the new Fiscal Year (Oct 1, 2006 through Sept 30, 2007). Since the license renewal is mailed out in August the City is not able to calculate the CPI through September 2006 as Ordinance 2003-3422 directed. BACKGROUND: On July 30, 2003, the Certificate of Use Ordinance No. 2003-3422 increased the fee by 10% for Fiscal years 2003-04, 2004-05 and 2005-2006 as request by the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee on May 12, 2003. Additionally, they requested that an automatic annual escalation provision, based on the increase in the annual CPI, be implemented to insure that rates keep up with the increased cost of providing services. As such, the ordinance stipulated that the increase for October 1,2006 (Fiscal Year 2006-07) was to be increased by a percentage equal to the cumulative change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) measured between March 2003 to September 2006. After this date the Ordinance provided for a required review process to take place whenever the change in the CPI between the latest CPI and the date of the last CPI used for the last fee adjustment is five percent (5%) or greater. CONCLUSION The Administration recommends that the increase for Fiscal Year 2006-07 be deferred and that the Administration review the proposed change for Fiscal Year 2007-08. CITY OF MIAMI B~ACH .
