R2024-03-04 - Resolution Authorizing the Adoption of Certain Fees
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution R2024-03-04 to authorize the adoption of the UTA Fee Schedule attached as Exhibit A to the Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
The governing body of UTA is required to approve all fees [17B-2a-808.1(2)(k)(i)].
DISCUSSION:
At this meeting the Board will receive an update to the proposed UTA Fee Schedule that was discussed at the December 6, 2023 Board meeting.
Staff across the agency partnered to gather information on fees being charged and to consolidate the information into a central UTA fee schedule. The fee schedule resulted in five broad categories of fees: 1) Communications and Marketing, 2) Request for Records (GRAMA), 3) Public Safety, 4) Real Estate and Transit Oriented Development, and 5) Vanpool.
The proposed resolution reflects the same fee schedule proposed at the December 6, 2023 Board meeting for feedback from the Board and the public. We have incorporated the recommendations made by Trustees including:
• Clarification on filming fees to include:
o A footnote clarifying the application to film may be denied if the request would inconvenience UTA service.
o Clarification that the safety monitor and police officer fees for filming are for their time spent on-site.
o 4-hour blocks of time assigned to fees related to vehicle use while filming.
o Definition added to clarify After-hours Premium and Rush Fees for filming.
o A link to the Filming-Requests page on UTA’s website with more detail on these fees.
• Removing the Real Estate and TOD Licenses and Leasing fees which will be brought to the Board at a later time.
• Description of the Vanpool impound fee.
• Adding time intervals to Vanpool Wi-Fi Hotspot and Bike Locker Rental fees.
We received no further comments or request for revisions. Upon adoption of this fee schedule, the Office of the Chief Financial Officer will oversee the fee schedule and coordinate a review of the schedule with Board adoption at least every three (3) years.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Board may request changes to the proposed Fee Schedule presented.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is not a significant fiscal impact on projected fee revenue since the proposed fee schedule is consistent with prior fees being charged.
