A consolidated fee schedule, to be known as the Salt Lake City consolidated fee schedule, may be adopted by ordinance establishing fees charged by the city to offset regulatory and service costs. The consolidated fee schedule may be amended from time to time by the city council. (Ord. 23-11, 2011)
A. No fee may be imposed by the city except as shown on the Salt Lake City consolidated fee schedule or as provided in this section. No fee, including cost recovery fees, shall exceed the maximum fee shown on the Salt Lake City consolidated fee schedule.
B. Notwithstanding any provision of this code to the contrary, all Salt Lake City fees shall be established by the city council except that this subsection B shall not apply to any fee:
1. Established pursuant to a franchise, property, or other agreement to which Salt Lake City is a party;
2. Collected by the city but which is required by a federal or state law;
3. Authorized by this code which is applicable to an airport owned or operated by the city; and
4. Authorized by the state construction code or the state fire code and for which the state code allows no city discretion in deciding whether to impose the fee or the amount of the fee. For the purpose of this subsection, the terms "construction code" and "fire code" have the same meanings set forth in the state construction and fire codes act, title 15A, Utah Code Annotated, or its successor.
C. After July 1, 2013, any new fee shall be reviewed and approved by the city council (including any fee that otherwise could be established by a city department or the mayor under a previous delegation of authority).
D. Within a reasonable time after July 1, 2013, all fees charged by the city shall be identified and itemized by type, amount, the specific source of authority to impose the fee, and the basis for calculating the fee. After all city fees are identified and itemized the city council intends to confirm any fee authority which may be delegated to a city department or the mayor. The council may establish conditions of delegation, such as:
1. Making fee lists readily available to the public,
2. Requiring public notice and comment prior to establishing any new fee, and
3. Reporting all new fees to the city council on a semiannual basis. (Ord. 28-13, 2013)
A. For purposes of this section the term "consumer price index" shall mean the "Consumer Price Index For All Urban Consumers" published by the bureau of labor statistics of the United States department of labor. In the event the consumer price index is no longer published, the term "consumer price index" shall mean the generally accepted replacement index, if any.
B. Effective July 1, 2013, and each July 1 thereafter, the fees set forth in the Salt Lake City consolidated fee schedule that go into the city's general fund shall be adjusted to reflect the one year percentage increase if any, in the consumer price index as set forth in the consumer price index published for the month of June prior to the July 1 date on which the adjusted fees will take effect.
C. Any fees not included in the Salt Lake City consolidated fee schedule that are imposed by the city and flow into the city's general fund shall likewise be adjusted pursuant to the rates and time frames identified in subsection B of this section. However, no consumer price index adjustment shall be made to any fees that do not flow into the general fund, do not reflect the cost of goods or services provided by the city (such as civil and criminal penalties), or that are expressly exempt from adjustment pursuant to federal, state or local law.
D. The adjustment set forth in subsections A through C of this section shall not apply in any instance where the adjustment:
1. Conflicts with federal, state or local law; or
2. Conflicts with a binding contract between the city and the entity or individual required to make payments to the city. (Ord. 39-13, 2013)
