Brown Act PUBLIC HEARING 13. A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF LOOMIS UPDATING AND APPROVING BUILDING DEPARTMENT FEES, EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER 14,2022 A recent survey has found that Loomis’s building permit cost is the second lowest in the State, only ahead of Siskiyou County. The cost of building permits and inspections should be borne by the property owner, but the Town of Loomis’s fee structure has not been updated in many years. When such fees don’t cover the full cost of the activity, the difference is borne by the Town’s taxpayers in general RECOMMENDATION Adopt resolution. PUBLIC COMMENT 14. A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF LOOMIS UPDATING THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT FEE SCHEDULE, EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER 14, 2022 In 2009, the Town contracted with Sinclair and Associates to update our planning department fees. They calculated those fees on a cost recovery basis, which means that all costs relating to a specific activity (or Town Services) should be paid by the applicant. These fees have not been increased since they were adopted. The problem here is that the cost of these activities now exceeds the fees collected. This puts a burden on the general fund, and essentially, the taxpayers of the Town. RECOMMENDATION Adopt resolution PUBLIC COMMENT BUSINESS 15. PLACER COUNTY LOCAL AGENCY FORMATION COMMISSION (LAFCO) PRESENTATION. The Town Council recently requested a “LAFCO 101” informational presentation from Placer County LAFCO.
