J ohnsc; , Chair Mel WMADMIMBUDGETIFEE20020RADOCRDF MASON COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS FINDINGS OF FACT November 19, 2002 1 . As currently authorized by Ordinance 41 -99 , the collection of fees for processing various land use permits, action, and services is insufficient to cover the costs of administrative services provided by the Department of Community Development. 2 . The proposed fees are by best estimate adequate to cover the administrative permitting and permit related service costs of the Planning Division, although they do not cover the full county cost of providing these services . 3 . The revised fees allows the county to continue to provide other mandated or vital public services . 4 . Some adjustments to the fees have been made to reduce the costs for smaller projects and single family development by providing for a sliding scale of fees for such projects . 5 . The Board of County Commissioners held a public hearing on November 19 , 2002 for the purpose of taking public testimony and to deliberate on the action to be taken . These findings provide a basis for approval of the proposed fee changes .
