A PPTYN c Fees Introduced and filed by ..U):l Gq Conancilmon MEMORNADUM July 24, 1969 TO: Merle F. Goff, City Manager FROM: Forest M. French, Administrative Assistant SUBJECT: Schedule of Licenses and Permit Fees On June 11, 1969, the City Auditor directed all department heads to make recommendations regarding changes to up -date the various charges for departmental estimated revenue. The Auditor has received the recommendations and is in the process of incorporating them into a proposal for review by the Finance Committee. In regard to the schedule of license and permit fees, I have made a comparison between the schedules of Bangor, Lewiston, and Portland (see attached) . These schedules are far from being uniform in content and amount of fee charged. I have recommended to the Auditor the up -dating of certain existing license and permit fees (attached). These recommendations reflect the fees that are being levied in other large Maine municipalities, namely Lewiston and Portland, as well as the possible out-of-pocket expenses to the City in its regulatory capacity in connection with the particular license or fee. The regulatory responsibility of the city is limited to the areas of health, safety, and welfare by Maine law. I feel that Maine law is quite limiting as to the areas whereby municipalities may issue licenses and permits. There are certain areas of licensing enjoyed for revenue purposes by other states that Maine does not have. There are some areas of regulation in which licenses and permits are being issued in Portland and Lewiston which, if not already under consideration In Bangor, should be now considered. I have attached for your review a list of these types with their respective fees as they are charged by Lewiston or Portland. The City Solicitor should also review each of these for his opinion on its feasibility under the general ordinance powers of the City. In 1968, $67,555.90 was received by the City in fees for licenses and permits. This amounted to about 4% of all re received excluding taxes, payments in lieu of taxes, and grants-in-aid revenue last review of fees was in 1959. Most recent ICMA information indicates that on the average, at least 6% of municipal revenue comes from licenses and permits.* FMF/hp * IOMA Municipal Finance Administration 1960.
