ITEM EXPLANATION: Ordinance No. 3? sets the requirement for encroachment and right- of-way permits and authorizes fees for encroachment/work in the Carlsbad Municipal Water District right-of-way for the purpose of defraying the cost of processing an application, issuing the requested permit, inspection of works completed under the permit and other costs of administrating this ordinance. The engineering staff has reviewed and determined the cost of processing of an encroachment application and issuance of an encroachment permit and recommends the Board of Directors approve and adopt the ordinance and the resolution establishing fees for encroachment/work in District right-of-way. FISCAL IMPACT: Staff recommends that the application fee to encroach in the right-of- way be set at $50.00 and the application fee for encroachment existing before application to encroach be set at $100.00. These amounts are consistent with the encroachment fees currently being charged by the City of Carlsbad and are adequate to cover the costs of processing and administrating the application and permit. It is estimated that the fees will generate annual revenues of approximately $1,000. Incremental costs incurred by the District in processing the permits are expected to be minimal as current staff will be utilized. These costs will be absorbed within the current budget. EXHIBITS: 1.
