County Code, Section 1-18 allows the Board to waive fees under certain circumstances. As stated in the Code: “All or part of any fee specified in this article may be waived, refunded or transferred to a related application upon order of the Board of Supervisors, if the applicant is a public entity or non-profit charitable organization or if the Board finds that it is otherwise in the public interest to do so.” The HRCBA is fundraising since the Camp Fire for the costs to replace the bridge, which includes design and permitting requirements. Construction is scheduled for this building season. The Department of Development Services recommends the Board approve the fee waiver in the amount of $10,500, and approve a budget adjustment to transfer $5,000 from the Board's budget to partially offset the Department costs for processing the permit. The $5,000 in the Board budget is revenue from rent received from the Paradise Park and Recreation District that may be spent for specified purposes, which this meets – action requested – 1) AUTHORIZE FEE WAIVER; AND 2) APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT.
