Information

Agenda Item

Ordinance 1st Reading - Engineering: Consider an ordinance amending the City of Lubbock Code of Ordinances, Chapter 22, "UTILITIES" and Chapter 36, “STREETS, SIDEWALKS, AND OTHER PUBLIC WAYS”, and repealing certain inapplicable provisions, in order to comply with the engineering review and construction inspection fee requirements in House Bill 3492.

Item Summary

The City of Lubbock currently assesses fees for Engineering plan review and construction inspection fees, based on the estimated cost of construction. House Bill 3492 prohibits engineering plan review and inspection fees to be based on the cost of construction, and prescribes the fee structure to be published annually. The City of Lubbock Engineering Department recommends amending Chapters 22 and 36, to eliminate language inconsistent with House Bill 3492, and to reference the engineering plan review and construction inspection fee structure in the annual budget.

Fiscal Impact

The proposed changes to the engineering review and construction inspection fees are in response to state legislature. The fee structure changes are expected to be revenue neutral.
