Remainder of Page Intentionally Blank 39 City of Tamarac Purchasing and Contracts Division EXHIBIT A DEPARTMENT PROFILES AND CURRENT FEES: 40 City of Tamarac Purchasing and Contracts Division BUILDING DEPARTMENT PROFILE: While there has been an aggressive amount of new development over the past five to ten years, the City is currently approximately 99% built out at this time. It is anticipated that the number of new construction/development permits will significantly decline over the next few years, and construction activity will mainly be focused on re-development of existing sites, land-use changes, or remodeling, repair and maintenance of existing structures. In Fiscal Year 2014, the annual budget of the City of Tamarac Building Department is approximately $2.5 million annually. Current Building Department Permit Fees account for approximately $2.6 million in annual revenues on average. Currently, permit fees are used to fund Building Division salaries and operating expenses. In 1997, the Building Permit Fee Schedule underwent a comprehensive review and update. Since that time there have been two (2) minor revisions to address specific items which were previously not included in the fee schedule or to adjust single issues requiring reassessment. In late 2005, a new fee schedule was adopted, with fees based on an assessment by Building Division staff. This assessment attempted to match the time and effort (cost) associated with the various types of services provided with the corresponding fee to be charged for the utilization of the service. The new schedule was also intended to account for the changing need for services anticipated as the City nears build out, in order to help ensure that the fees charged for the various types of services provided are funding an equitable share of the associated cost of service well into the foreseeable future. As the City approaches build out, it becomes increasingly more important to ensure that the services provided to the community, through the building permitting and inspection process, generate fees proportional to the cost of service provision in order to minimize the dependence on the City’s General Revenue Fund. To validate and ensure the integrity of the current fee schedule, the City Commission has directed staff to obtain a professional external review of the existing schedule, as well as existing cost data. BUILDING DEPARTMENT SCHEDULE OF PERMIT FEES: SECTION I: As set forth in Section 105 of the Broward County Amendments to the 2010 Florida Building Code, it is unlawful for any person, firm, or corporation to fail to acquire a proper permit prior to the commencement of any construction, alteration, or repair on or within private property, and such act is punishable as provided in Section 1 - 13 of the Tamarac City Code. SECTION II: In the event of an emergency requiring immediate repairs a person or firm may proceed with such repairs; provided however, an application for the permit and the payment of appropriate fees are made during the first succeeding business day of the City Building Department. Failure to do so may be subject to a penalty for commencing work without a permit as provided in Section B #18 of this fee schedule. SECTION III: All permits for new construction, including permits for building, alterations, miscellaneous, signs, swimming pools, plumbing, electric and mechanical, shall include a fee for training and education of Building Department personnel of $0.30 per thousand dollars of estimated cost. SECTION IV: No permit shall be required for general maintenance or repairs which do not change the occupancy and the value of which does not exceed one thousand five hundred ($1,500.00) dollars in labor and material as determined by the Building Official. SECTION V: As per City of Tamarac Ordinance No. 0-2004-15 Addition Article XI, entitled "Public Art Program", a Public Art Fee will be assessed based on construction value of improvements to real 41 City of Tamarac Purchasing and Contracts Division property in the City of Tamarac as provided for in Section 5-304.

Compliance is achieved through communication with and the education of our residents and business owners, utilization of approved inspection techniques; investigation of complaints; and if required, the imposition of fines and liens through a quasi-judicial hearing process and the issuing of uniform citations. These processes act to provide an equitable, expeditious, and effective method of enforcing the Code of Ordinances. Much of the due process and compliance related fees assessed have not been increased since 2008. With Code Compliance being a dominant issue in the Community with a significant emphasis placed on enforcement and the ability to achieve instantaneous compliance, it will be necessary to determine whether the current fees assessed are compatible and reasonable for the associated application type. In addition, the existing fees are not based on a true comparative of fees from neighborhood jurisdictions to support or justify its structure. As the City’s population increases and the building stock ages, it becomes increasingly important to ensure that the services provided to the community, through the enforcement and compliance process, generate fees proportional to the cost of service provision in order to minimize the dependence on the City’s General Revenue Fund. To validate and ensure the integrity of the current fee schedule, the City Commission has directed staff to obtain a professional external review of the existing schedule below, as well as existing cost data. Code Compliance Fees Abatement Hearing* (Sec. 2-76 (C-3)) per case Pit Bull Registration (Sec. 4-30) per pit bull dog Portable Storage Unit (Sec. 9-43) every 7 days; max 21 days per year Property Registration (Sec. 13-8 (i)(4)) Special Magistrate Admin Fee** per case $75.00 $50.00 $50.00 $150.00 $75.00 Business Tax Receipt Profile: In October, 1995, the City adopted and implemented an Equity Tax Study to support an increase to the Business Revenue Receipt Fees. Pursuant to Florida Statutes 205.0535(4), the City has the ability to increase Business Tax Receipt Fees (“Fees”) by up to five (5%) percent every other year. Since the adoption of the Equity Study, the City has opted to increase its Fees by five (5%) percent every two years, with the last increase occurring in July, 2008. Since July, 2008, the City has not processed an increase in the fees, largely based on the downturn in the Economy. Since 2009, the City has experienced an upward trend in the issuance of Business Tax Receipts. Based on Florida Statutes, the business tax rate structure and classifications in the City of Tamarac’ s adopted ordinance must be reasonable and based upon the rate structure and classifications prescribed in ordinances adopted by adjacent local governments that have implemented s. 205.0535. Should the City 59 City of Tamarac Purchasing and Contracts Division find that the rate structures or classifications of adjacent local governments are unreasonable, the rate structure or classifications prescribed in our ordinance may be based upon those prescribed in ordinances adopted by local governments that have implemented s. 205.0535 that have a comparable population. A true comparison or Fee Study has not been commissioned to determine the reasonability of the City’s Fees in comparison to adjacent local governments. In addition, several adjacent local governments assess an administrative fee at Business Tax Receipt application and again at the renewal stage. The administrative fee is generally designed to supplement staff time and cost for the processing of applications. The City is interested in determining the viability of assessing such a fee and obtaining a recommendation on what such a fee might be. The Consultant will verify that the amount of any proposed increase is consistent with Florida Statutes in that the increase, if proposed, does not exceed the maximum of five (5) percent for every other year.

No. O-2008-09, § 2, 7-9-08) FIRE / RESCUE DEPARTMENT PROFILE Tamarac Fire Rescue responds to over 13,000 calls for service annually and provides EMS, Fire Watch Standby and Crowd Manager Details with off duty staffing. While total annual calls has not changed much since the last study (approximately less than 10%) other factors have adjusted or been added i.e. CPI, local recovery for service costs etc. Redevelopment and new development projects around the City continue (such as Walmart, Unipharma, Planet Fitness etc...). Although the City is currently over 90% built out redevelopment is a challenge because of new Local, State and National Codes are more stringent requiring constant change. 104 City of Tamarac Purchasing and Contracts Division Fire Standby detail and fire apparatus (min of 3 hours for each Firefighter) Fire Prevention: (Minimum of 3 hours per Fire Inspector/Crowd Manager) services include required Annual Fire & Life Safety inspections of every building beyond single and two family dwellings, places of indoor/outdoor assembly and development common areas including streets and egress. Additionally all special events, conceptual site plans and construction plan reviews of all permits except the single family and two family are required to be conducted by a Fire Plans Examiner with the potential for re-review of most plans submitted. Personnel provide, target and high hazard training to staff, fire drills for businesses and all schools private/public in the City, fire extinguisher training, Disaster Preparedness talks and deliver many other educational programs throughout the community. Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) and our Fire Cadet/Explorer programs are managed through Fire Prevention as well. In Fiscal Year 2004, the currently used fee schedule was adopted by resolution (attached) and has been used since. Currently the Building Department collects all permit/plan review fees for construction documents; Community Development collects Site Plan, Special Event and residential home business inspection fees for fire prevention. Fire prevention staff performs the construction and annual fire and life safety inspections then creates an invoice that is reviewed by the finance department returned to fire prevention and finally mailed to the customer. The finance department receives all payments. Currently, all fire department fees are used to fund fire rescue or general fund expenses. The existing fee schedule needs review for economic adjustment and an update of service recovery needs. Some specific items which were previously not included in the fee schedule require assessment. Some of these items include: Code required Crowd Manager Fees, Expedited Plan Review Fees, Food Truck inspections, Fire Cause and Determination Fee, Complaint Investigation Fee, Flow Test Performed, Flow Test Inspection Fee, False Alarm Fees, Test and Balance, Pyro techniques, after hours expedited inspection fees, special equipment inspections such as generators, fire pumps, propane tanks, special agent extinguishing systems, hood systems, special HVAC, voice evacuation systems, fueling stations, AED inspections and demolition inspection fees. We also need a double fee for work started or completed without a permit. Florida State Statute allows for the recovery of services provided. Fire Prevention typically uses a City Staff member and vehicle to go into every construction site, business and multifamily residence (approximately 2700) at least once annually and some high hazard at least twice annually. This activity accounts for the majority of the fire inspectors typical daily activities. 105 City of Tamarac Purchasing and Contracts Division The Fire Rescue Department strives to be good stewards of the public funds by reviewing these important areas to ensure that the services provided to the community, such as permitting, firefighting, EMS response, disaster emergency management, delivery of public education and life safety programs and inspection services generate fees proportional to the cost of service in order to minimize the dependence on the City’s General Revenue Fund.
